Hi all,


Does anyone know if the charger for the current gen 2/3DS etc works with the DS Lite? I lost my charger years ago and fancy some Mario Kart time but can't find a genuine or 'decent' 3rd party (eg Game's) DS Lite charger anywhere.

    No. There are 3 separate plugs which fit DS, DSL and DSi onwards. I use cables that plug into a standard USB adaptor.

    Buy a usb one from poundland charge through laptop or even back of some new tvs thats what we do - and we dont worry about it when its plugged in like we would with a wall plug.

    Or better still ebay - I got one that was usb on one end with four wires coming out of it with different connectors on all the ends for all the ds consoles ever made £1.50 delivered - brilliant idea.

  • Thanks for all the suggestions, will check them out.
  • I bought mine from argos when my cat chewed through it...but I was desperate to get one the next day.
    I would check out amazon or ebay :)
