Slider DS

Motoman · Post by **Motoman** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:47 pm

After a short thinking session, I was thinking of maybe trying to make a DS Slider. Its just that i have some questions.

#1: What type of mechanism would i need for the initial sliding thing? AKA what would i need to make it slide?

#2 How long is the cable connecting the LCD?

#3 Is it possible?

Heres a quick concept I made in paint:

Go there, it has the cables. I was possibly going to do something of that sort, than realised it's stupid.

I think by stupid he means pointless. It would look extremely cool, though. Like those phones on The Matrix

I'd say this is possible, but you would need a long ribbon cable.

- unless you put the screen on backwards and have it rotate 180 to get to the normal position.

Making one would be hard, if not impossible. I would say make it Danger Sidekick-style. The top rotates 180 to show controls. That would be sweet!

Some sort of swively thing. I don't really know, actually.

swively thing would be really tough too

The swively things I've disassembled all have a long ribbon cable curled up into a tube.

it should be a couple of inches long already, judging by the sp i took apart.
