When is the Nintendo DS not just a a 32-bit foldable handheld game console with two screens? After one of the screens has been deleted completely by Tito of Macho Nacho Productions.
How does it work? The mod consists of a full aluminum shell, custom machined buttons, a special GBar kit that tricks the DS into thinking it still has a top screen, and a GBA Macro audio board to amplify the sound. Gathering the parts is just the first part, as putting everything together again does require at least a few hours of work. One caveat: most DS games still need both screens in order to play.

I would love to see BoxyPixel extend the shell to include the second screen in a slab format similar to the 2DS. The other problem with the DS was the hinge, not necessarily a bad upper screen. Removing the hinge and having a metal shell would fix a lot of issues,” said one commenter.
