Want rumble? Do it yourself

If you're lacking the small amount of cash it would cost you to pick up a Rumble Pak of your own, there's always the DIY solution. With just a little elbow grease, a spare Pokemon Pinball GBA game, and a spare Nokia 5100, you can create your own Rumble Pak that fits in flush with your DS Lite. Of course, one could argue that it isn't worth the effort and suggest just plunking down the dough for one, but then you wouldn't have that sense of accomplishment that comes from doing it yourself and the future comfort of bragging to your friends that you're better than them.

You could do it yourself, or you could buy an EZ 3-in-1 which has rumble and ram, so you can use it with the opera browser as well as rumble games.......

seriously pointless considering that only a small amount of ds games use rumble. Metroid Pinball, Metroid Hunters, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, Super Princess Peach, that star fox game too.

THe rumble is to loud, and seems jerky compared to other rumbles. I don't think any upcoming games use rumble or even 3rd party games at that.
