Well one done by Nintendo could use a devkit or emulator of some sort. They do that a lot. |

I think only major game businesses have a type of "video out" for the DS. I have a Nintendo Power issue and it shows Nintendo World in it. Then it should some DS's that you can play and about it are 2 tvs that show the top and bottom of the DS. Also if you watched X-Play on G4, you can see DS reviews and they have just the two screens showing without any hands. So either they crop the film or have one of those "video out" thing. |

I saw an original Wideboy at the electronics kiosk that used to be at the mall many years ago.
I played Flipull on it.  Even has the Game Boy border and everything. Tres chic. |

Intelligent Systems are also known for Mario Kart Advance and Advance Wars.
And do not forget Panepon (Tetris Attack).
I think it has the best official fanpage a game can get.
Panepon Official Homepage
With lots of Fanarts and the Soundtrack to download as MP3s.

They are? Alright, now I just need to find their manager... and learn Japanese.... and graduate... and get there. 
IS's stuff generally isn't available to the public, though. |

Intelligent Systems(Of Paper Mario and Fire Emblem fame) makes things like the IS-NITRO-CAPTURE and IS-NITRO-VIDEO for this kinda thing.
Here's a link to the japanese site. If you look around you can see they are even accepting new people! |

Obviously, they just take screenshots of the Roms with their computer. |

Keh, I just ate most of a large stuffed-crust pizza. I don't think I have any more room for pizza today. |

yah, thats probably why there are videos of people holding a DS, playing with said ds and having the contents of that ds show on a seperate screen. makes it look like something that connects to that ds to me! doesnt matter if its a completely seperate device thats 10x10 feet, it still makes the DS output video (the DS, not the device). the gameboy player is different, ie you plug the game into the player and you use your gamecube to play the games (if thats what youre talking about). |

You're talking about an entirely different device, similar to GB Player, not an adaptor.
Also I want a Wideboy. |

Q: In each review of a PSP game, when the game clips are being shown, we can always see the fingers of you guys playing, while the DS, as I understand, can be connected to the CPU and the video can be direct...ermm...well, I hope you understood what I mean. Doesn't the PSP have that feature and do you think it ever will?

A: As of right now, there's no way for us to get direct-feed footage of PSP games, as the system itself has no "video out" function. The DS doesn't either, but we have a magical device, made by the gods themselves, that lets us get video from DS games. Right now, no such device is available to us for the PSP. Believe me when I say that there's little more we'd like right now than to have a solution to this, so don't worry, we're going to keep on it. Thanks for writing, and it's good to know they have DSL hookups in Latvian cornfields now. The next time someone tries to tell me broadband penetration is relatively small, I'll be sure to let them know about you and your cornfield hookup. -- A.N.
Same device that allows a person to play with the DS and not have the stylus or person's hand blocking the view of the touch screen when making the videos. adurr |

Uh-huh...Wideboy, but, that was not for magazine and website reviewers. No, only developers mostly got to use that. You can sort of find them for sale, but rarely..I did buy one a year ago on a Japanese auction site. But like I said, when the time was that the magazine reviewers made that stuff, they would not have the access of it. This is a very awesome find, HH. I might play with this a little bit later...^^
::Edit:: Havoks: Nintendo once told the process that they use to make the screenshots and things. I do not know if it is how other companies do, and I sort of forgot the process. But it did invole a special type of camera and not having the games need an "AV" thing.. |

HH, they did it this way:
It's a so called WideBoy Advance, like a GB Player, only for N64 and only for GBA games. (It also exists a GBC one) |

Because we know you're the expert on these kinds of things. How did they do it with GBA games before GB Player, then? |

you guys are stupid. if the DS didnt have an a/v output thing how do you think people who review these games make gameplay videos. and before you saying they have a special DS to do it, no they dont. |

Yeah, I know it's old but I haven't seen it posted here. It's certainly interesting. If the DS does have some unused TV Out pin, I wonder if it could be of any use? Maybe something could attatch to it and provide a proper sync signal so we can actually get a usable picture; would be nice for GBA games and DS games that mostly only use the top screen. (Or if nothing else, I wonder if software can force the DS screens to update at a different refresh rate? Tweaking that a bit might get an image that a TV can pick up properly.)
Anyone tried it with a colour TV? |

Oh, I so have to try this.
If done right, it could be like GBP, except without accidentally hitting Z (Which brings up the menu) instead of R and getting fried for it!
Obviously the DS transmits WiFi more than we originally thought |
