Anyone else have to/tried playing a DS game without the bottom screen?
I'm playing through Platinum, and I have to memorize my team's movesets and the item locations throughout the menu, at least until next month, when I get my new DS.

...Not exactly the most fun thing to do, lemme tell ya.
Currently taking ROM GBA challenges! One for each game, sometimes two.

All others open. Challenge me!

Not really. If the bottom screen broke and I couldn't get someone to fix it, I'd just burn all my games to ROM and play them on an emulator (that's legal, right?).

No, it's not. :( Making ROM images is illegal, even if it's for "backup" purposes.

If my bottom screen stopped working, I'd probably just avoid playing any games that use it in any way. :/

I havent mainly because most of the DS games I play needs the bottom screen and without it you cant play it at all. I could try it with pokemon sometime though, but it will be annoying though.

(Working on a better signature + avy)
