Modding your DS, huh?
Actually, you don't need to solder any kind of chip in your Nintento DS to run homebrew software or play backup games. You can simply get any of the SLOT-1 or SLOT-2 devices and plug them in to flash the software in your DS.
A few of the popular ones are the R4 DS, M3 DS Simply, the TT DS and the more expensive Edge. As you can see, not such original names :)
If you see any SLOT-2 devices (the GBA slot using kind), these are kind of old fashioned. Get a SLOT-1 ones, they are cheaper and easier to use. Read more about this at Wikipedia.
FlashMe is by far the most popular tool which is used to run software on your DS. It is a piece of software that is 'burned' into your DS so it runs every time you turn on your DS. When run, it allows you to run any kind of game or program plugged into your DS (in the normal SLOT-2).
Easy, right!? Get one of the products by following one of the ads above or below. Enjoy your DS! :)

Discounted: Brand new Tony Hawk Ride at ... Goodwill?
It may seem at this point that we're kicking an already downed and plenty insulted victim here, but we couldn't help but note the shockingly low price of a Tony Hawk: Ride bundle -- complete with board, unopened -- discovered by Gamertell at an Arlington Heights, Il. Goodwill store. Two Wii versions of the game were on sale for just $74.99 (down from $119.99 MSRP) -- a Goodwill employee said the game's presence could be explained by donations from local retailers, listing Kohls, Sears, Borders, and Target as potential donators. Alright, alright, we'll admit it -- the price drop isn't that steep, but a near $50 difference on a barely four-month-old game sounds pretty decent to us.Presumably, one of the aforementioned retailers was more interested in the shelf space (and the tax write-off) than waiting for the game's fairly cool sales to heat up. Either way, if you're looking to get your ... ahem ... feet on the game, maybe your local Goodwill could offer a better deal than the other brick-and-mortars, eh?

We sure hope the new Sonic 4 isn't a remake of this Sonic 4
Check out a gameplay clip of the unsanctioned Sonic 4 after the jump. Yeah, it doesn't look great -- but to be fair, Sonic doesn't whip out a gun at any point, nor does he engage in light bestiality, so we guess it has its charms.
