![]() ![]() These cards were originally designed for homebrew applications but became infamous for piracy due to the ability to torrent some of the newest games. It was also around this time that Nintendo DS cards, such as the R4 card, were coming into mainstream prominence. Similarly to the original Nintendo DS console, the DS Lite had a dual cartridge system, with a Game Boy slot for Game Boy Advance games on the bottom and a DS card slot in the top. As a percentage, that's over a 20% reduction! This is seriously substantial, because it reduced the console's weight from 275 grams to 218 grams. The screen was increased in size from 3.0 inches (76mm) to 3.12 inches (79mm), and its dimensions shrunk from 5.85 / 3.33 / 1.14 inches to 5.20 / 2.91 / 0.85 inches. This made it easier both to carry around and use. The redesigned console was both lighter and slimmer than the original DS, but also with brighter screens. It was released early in 2006, more than a month before it's actual planned release date, because of high demand. The Nintendo DS Lite, again generally shortened to DS Lite, was a mainly cosmetic upgrade to the original DS.
