Welcome back to Area DMG!
[4]
I'm your host Philip Wesley.
[6]
And today, I'm gonna go ahead and answer a question…
[10]
…that people been asking me.
[11]
We get this question a couple of times.
[14]
Every couple of months.
[16]
And I realize there is not a video that shows this off.
[20]
But people were wondering…
[23]
…will a 3DS game…
[26]
…work in a DSi or a DS Lite system.
[29]
I've got DS Lite over here…
[31]
…and DSi XL.
[32]
And… you see.
[35]
People were wondering if anybody's…
[37]
…sawn off the little nub or cut off little nub…
[40]
…and checked to see if one of these worked.
[42]
So, I bought this copy of Steel Diver over at GameStop for a dollar…
[47]
…and something after tax.
[49]
And I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna clip off…
[52]
…that little thing there…
[55]
…to find out!
[56]
We're gonna find out!
[58]
Okay, actually, lemme…
[60]
Actually, I don't have hafta…
[61]
I'm gonna put that in. I have to make sure that this is off before I turn it on.
[64]
And this one doesn't have to be off.
[67]
Let's go ahead and…
[70]
…turn this on.
[71]
'Cause, like, when you put that in there it'll definitely show there's, y'know.
[74]
If it's… if it detects it, it will show it in the…
[77]
…game slot, but yeah!
[81]
Don't try this at home, kiddies!
[83]
'Cause, trust me…
[85]
…the results are going to be disappointing.
[89]
Well, I'm trying to figure out the best way to…
[93]
…to clip this poor thing.
[96]
Okay!
[101]
Aye-yay-yay!
[102]
Okay, that's…
[104]
…that's kinda gross!
[105]
Ouch!
[106]
Poor thing!
[108]
This… this gives me no…
[110]
…no sense of joy.
[113]
'Cause I actually like…
[115]
I actually like Steel Diver. It's a good game.
[120]
Poor thing!
[121]
Well, let's cut this a little bit more with this.
[127]
These little plastic pieces out there.
[130]
You see, it's just that that's empty.
[133]
That litte thing there is empty there, so…
[135]
I'm not gonna hit the board or anything.
[137]
But let's go ahead and …
[141]
Let's try putting it into…
[143]
…this DS Lite.
[146]
See?! It will fit in there if you chopped that up!
[149]
Now, let's go ahead and turn that on there, and see what it does.
[153]
Hit that, turn the power button up.
[160]
And it… does not detect it. Not at all!
[164]
It does not "see" the game.
[167]
Okay, let's turn that off!
[170]
Now, let's pop it into this…
[173]
Real quick, 'cause like, the way this is designed…
[176]
…you just…
[178]
…put that in there!
[182]
It should…
[184]
It's not detecting it.
[185]
Okay, let's turn this off!
[188]
And we'll turn it back on again.
[191]
And see if it'll detect it.
[195]
Nothing!
[196]
The Nintendo DS, DSi, will not even detect…
[201]
…a 3DS game.
[202]
Of course, let's make sure this 3DS game works.
[206]
So, let's go ahead and put it into…
[209]
…a normal 3DS.
[215]
Okay, nothing is read. There we go! Steel Diver!
[223]
So, pretty much if you put in…
[225]
…a 3DS game into a…
[229]
…Nintendo DS or DS Lite.
[231]
Even if you chop off that little thing which is supposed to prevent you from physically putting it into the system…
[237]
…it still will not… work.
[240]
Because…
[241]
It doesn't detect it as anything.
[246]
It will still work in a 3DS or 2DS, or a…
[250]
New 3DS, or a New 3DS XL, or a 3DS XL.
[254]
But yeah, that what happens when you…
[256]
…very brutally…
[258]
…massacre a poor Game Card.
[261]
Poor thing!
[262]
And… put into a Nintendo DS or DSi…
[266]
…does not detect it.
[268]
I feel sorry for this, 'cause Steel Diver is actually a pretty underrated game.
[272]
But yeah, I'm your host.
[276]
Now you know what happens if you do that.
