A little pricey, but worth it. It's a pain in the arse but if I can do it, anyone can. Toughest parts are working the top screen flat cable out and back in and getting the r and l bumpers right where their not dead when you finish of totally with the install. The bumpers have a spring that goes in a certain way and if their not right the buttons act as if their dead, so you'd have to take it back apart and fiddle with it till you get them right. You'll also need to order a tri-wing screw driver, best I can remember, the cases don't come with one.

Thanks for the replies guys, except you crypie! :D My wife sent it back to nintendo and they are going to fix it for $50. Then I'm going to take their newly repaired unit and mod the shit out of it! :shock:

Same website, cyclopsds evolution. Thats the one that I like. The R4DS is just as good though, I just like the cyclops better because the operating system is onboard and doesn't take up anyroom on the microsd card and it supports micro sd cards larger than 4 GB although 4 GB and up are quite pricey. Cofree can show you how the R4 works. He just got one recently, although I don't know where he could have gotten it from :D

You'll need a microsd card to go with either the R4 or the CyclopsDS either which way. Setup is very, very easy too.

Yeah, I have to work..... That sucks. I don't drink anyway so I'm not missing much there, but I do get a kick out of watching other people drink, that "can" be a real piece of entertainment!!
