From the info I can find, Nintendo made a VERY limited number (Less than 100) of DS with TV output. They are more rare than hen's teeth.

I can't find any commercially available adaptors, although some people have managed to get a faint picture by tuning their TVs manually until they get interference from the DS, which would tend to imply that there's TV style RF or composite video floating around somewhere on the board..

Still investigating..

Well, on the subject of DS / TV adaptors - seems there was a prototype made by a Taiwan company called q-mark, but they never went into production with them. Instead they only do a big camera-over-the-top-screen thing which is a bit cack.

At least it's possible though.

They do have a GBA TV out that looks interesting though:

Amy, repeat after me : "inducing post traumatic stress is not the same thing as memorable" :P
"even had I suspected then the truly horrifying suffering and amazing loss of life that would be caused by our well-meaning enterprise... I'd have done it anyway. Only more so."
