Is there any way to play my DS games on the big screen?

I want to play my games on my monitor or tv. Is there a way to do this without emulators?

There are some prototypes out there, but they are simply camers/mirror combos that clip on the top screen of your DS.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

I've never tried any of them out, but your best bet would probably be an emulator. Of course, then you'd have to use the mouse instead of a stylus.

I delayed buying a DS because I was waiting for a Wii attachment to allow me to play on the big-screen.

No luck. It will never happen.

Because of stylus-based games.

Honestly, you wouldn't want to play most of these games on a big screen anyway. They look a LOT better at the smaller resolution. This is especially true of anything running in 3D.

Unless the DSi can boost the graphics, I wouldn't want to play any DS games on the big screen. I mean, come on. Look at Mario Kart. It looked fine on the N64, because it had all these blurs on textures. The DS has nothing like that, so the pixels would probably kill me.

If there would be any way for that to happen, it would probably have to be done through the Wii.

And honestly, I don't know if I would want to do that anyway.

Theoretically, you could like hook up your DS to a TV, and use the bottom screen as normal, but use the TV as the top screen.

I'm not sure I'd want to do that, though; seems kind of pointless.

Isn't that what they use at E3 and other expos? If you ever got to a stand with DS games, they have weirdly mangled DSes connected to big monitors, so people behind you know exactly how much you suck at Contra 4.
