DIY DS Lite, minus some functionality


... Just boring stuff like playing games and existing in three dimensions. Other than that, this tutorial from reader Jillian S will show you how to make your very own DS Lite. Picture. In Photoshop.

Jillian's instructions are clear and logical, with example images throughout. You'll probably end up learning a bit about Photoshop as you go along, and, if you do well, you'll end up with an image that looks like you spent seconds searching the Internet for product images. You'll know, however, that this particular product image held a price in blood, sweat, and tears repetitive stress injuries.

We love the kinds of exceedingly detailed tutorials that people online put together for various random tasks, for no reason at all other than maybe boredom and a genuine desire to share ... that one task. Without this compulsion, there would be no GameFAQs, for one thing.

We also love the above in-progress picture of a DS with no screens and no interface. It could get a lot of use for mocking up fake DS successors.

I wish DSfanboy made their links more noticeable. Did anyone know right off-hand that the link to the tutorial was through the DS image? It seems like every hyperlink they put in their posts always link to a related story written by them, and I have to click through them all to find the external link. This is also the case with their Apollo Justice Flash Demo story.

The picture is always the main link, as is the "Read" link at the bottom.
