DS Lite

[gravy]

Just wondering, is it just me or does wi-fi in the new lite seem more stable?

I had to manually enter IP settings on my original DS to get it working with the airport express but the Lite worked fine on automatic. Don't know what that's all about

Could be more to do with your Apple than the Lite itself - mine still required manual setup to work on the airport in my anglepoise iMac..

I'm not connecting to my mac but to an airport express, one of these doohickys.

It's like a standard AP but you can also stream iTunes to it

We had a thread about this and it was speculated that Nintendo would
revise the not-really-Wifi to make it more standards complient with
the DS Lite.

My original DS had problems on initial connection to my AP, presumably getting an IP address, so a DHCP issue which is similar to your problem. On subsequent retries though it'd always connect up fine.

My DS lite though connects up straight away with no fuss at all.

You do realize that the WFC settings [and ID] for a Lite can be transferred from another DS, right?

Lik Sang had a little bit of paper in mine saying how you do it.

Here's how Yak described it here: http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=51806

First prompt is for your nick (you can select English chars for the keyboard),

second is favourite colour, then date, time and birthday IIRC.

Then it restarts and you should be able to get to the normal menus to select the globe.

IIRC you have to select the spanner to get to the globe.

Damn, I thought Play-asia were suppose to be Customs friendly.

Anybody know of an actual customs friendly supplier for a DS Lite? (I'm still holding out for a white one).

yesasia.com is but the DS Lite is a bit more expensive there than play asia anyway.

Customs is a bit of Russion Roulette.
I've never had a problem, but it's only a matter of time methinks.

You can quite happily be VATted on anything where the declared value is more than £18.

Quite often you aren't, but the rules are that you can be. And no, it doesn't matter whether or not it's declared as "Gift"*. I went to the trouble of getting the leaflet about this from HMSO, which is how I know

* Well, it doesn't matter in that you can still be VATted on it, but IME it does seem less likely if this box is ticked.

I gave in, and ordered one. The girlfriend can have the old one (even though I never see these days anyway).

Can't wait!
