Flashing DS Lite mod

If there’s one thing most gadgets aren’t short of, it’s flashing lights.  LEDs tell you when there’s hard-drive activity, they tell you when a gadget is on, or off, or thinking, or thinking about turning off, or thinking about… well, you get the idea.  But there will still be those who want more LEDs, and for those Nintendo DS Lite owners who’d rather their console be a DS Light, AcidMod’s member Rocky might have the mod for you.

While volume-triggered strobes are probably not something you’d want going on while playing a game (unless you’re playing The Game of Strobe), it makes the DS a little more entertaining when playing music.  Rather than the white LEDs that Rocky used, I think I would’ve gone for multi-coloured ones; however, that could’ve pushed the mod above the straightforward level of hackery.
