We've reported on the surprisingly well-established homebrew community on the DS; there's a whole wealth of wonderful applications you can coerce your DS into performing. To most, however, the prospect of "hacking" the DS is "scary", and despite some of the easier methods out there, it still seemed a little much.Well, we no longer think it could get any easier. The newest device to come out of haX0r-land, the sillily named DS-Xtreme, is nothing more than a DS cartridge. It works as a simple mass-storage device ... simply move the applications or files to the cartridge using a USB connection, and poof, instant homebrew. It comes with a built in MP3-playback app, and it has two bitchin' LEDs for good measure (check out the embedded videos after the jump). The downside? It only contains 512 MB of memory, and it can't run anything built for the Game Boy Advance. Still, for the fence-sitters out there, this might be enough to push you over the edge. Check it out.
[Sillily is so a word.]
[Thanks, Gordon!]
Most of us are hip to the whole "Xtreme" thing. I mean, we drink a lot of Mountain Dew and like to jump huge gaps and ride sharks on our way into school or the office. Sure, we get it, it's not so much the insanely-dangerous life choices we get the thrill out of so much as the incredible amount of babes it gets us. Chicks dig bear claw marks, dont'cha know...
