UPDATE: 09-03-10: So, Nintendo has brought out the DS lite w\ larger screen and the DSi w\ larger sceen. If anyone of you has one of these, would you please tell me if they are compatible?
UPDATE: 09-03-10: This dock is compatible with the Gamboy Advanced SP. But who uses these anyways!
UPDATE: 06-09-09: This instructable ended third in the Knex challenge! Yay!
UPDATE: 03-09-09: Forget everything I said about DSi compatability. The docking station can only be used with a DS lite.
Hello fellow friends of knex and gaming. I would like to share you my first knex creation that is not a gun. After all, guns get boring after a while. Instead, I tried to make a dock, like the many Ipod docks I have seen around here. Unfortunatly, I don't have an Ipod, so I made a dock for my DS lite. When I as building, I found out that I had a little space left on the left of the gray rods. I tried to do something with that part, so I made a holder for four game cards. It also has a thingie for holding the adapter cable. Allright, what is there left to say?Just get building and enjoy!
*The regular DS is too large for this dock; the DSi is too small, but can be fitted with some modifications.
**WARNING! The game card holder should only be used with a special casing for game cards. I am not responsible to any damage to your game cards, should you use the holder without cases. If you use the right cases, the game cards are
exactly one connector wide.
***The DS docking station can not be used when a Gameboy Advance cardridge is inserted.
****This Instructable ended third in the grand knex challenge. Yay!
*****The Docking station can also be used with a Gameboy Advance SP. Thanks to "knex i love yes" for pointing this out.
******WARNING! The dock is not a protective tool for your DS. I am not responsible should it be damaged in any way possible while using the dock. The same applies to the game cards in the holder.

PS: If you don't have enough pieces, you seriously need to buy more pieces. Everyone can build this.
Allright, so first thing you need to do, make the parts in all the images. You need the part in the second and fifth image twice. Please notice that there is one part on the first three pieces where you don't need to add a green rod. So don't be stubborn and add one, as you will need this part later on.

This thing was made from before the 3DS existed, and as of such I do not know if it will work. If you really want to know, you should ask another Instructables member or try it out. I do not have a 3DS so I can't try it out.
I play COD on my DS, which means I have to use the stylus to move around and aim. That's why my screen is so messed up.
(Besides that, it should be noted that I used this one for three years when I made the picture... And I still use it.)
i use a DS lite. only times i've had to send it in for repairs are 1) when the hinge broke and 2) when the left trigger stopped working (pretty much a game killer considering i mostly play fps games on my ds...) ....I guess the fact my screen is still (nearly) pristine may have to do with the 'soft tip' stylus that the ds lite uses... (i've noticed that after REALLY excessive use the stylus tip wears down)
Yeah yeah, I know, my screen is scratched. But I really do not care. By the way, I do not use it now anymore.
I had mine 3ds a few days and bought a screen protection kit for it.
I rarely ever go to the larger cities, so yeah...

...not even close.
Myself, I'd never take my DS to any public space, they're way too expensive for that.
I got it with call of duty. its awesome.
