In the video, Zachary Staines took an old Nintendo DS and after enough work and effort, he made the game run on the handheld. The requirements to play on a Nintendo are that the players need a Nintendo DS, a Flash Card, a MicroSD card, and a computer with an SD card reader. Firstly, players need to get a flash card that is compatible with jailbreaking the DS and need to load essential files onto the microSD.

The next step is to insert the flash card onto the DS and power it on. To play Minecraft, after the jailbreaking is done, players need to install the game. The game comes in the form of a port that players can download from the internet. The unofficial port of Minecraft for this DS is called “DSCraft.” This gives players almost full access to the 3D version of the game.

The fact that the Nintendo DS is a 19-year-old console that can play Minecraft might be surprising for many players. But with the way technology has progressed, there are ways of making games smaller to fit and run on less powerful devices. This has grabbed immense admiration from gaming fans all around.

One player commended the YouTuber for getting back to the challenge of running Minecraft on multiple unorthodox consoles. In their comment, they stated “My man is back at it again! Incredible how you have so many ideas to run Minecraft on.” Being a 12-year-old game, there are many devices that the game still does not support.

Another comment on YouTube stated, “If Mojang doesn’t hire him soon, Mojang has a problem.” This was a message from the fans to the developers of Minecraft to hire the YouTuber for his imaginative approach to playing the game across as many devices as possible. A commenter posted “You can get it easier on the DSi. There is a few methods using the SD slot.” This highlighted how much easier it is to play the game on the Nintendo DSi compared to the DS.

One user who is comfortable with using Homebrew versions of games mentioned how they play most of the games on their DS using a similar card. In the comment, they stated “Amazing video!

Keep (them) coming.”

With the video showing players how to make this feat possible, many are trying to play the game on their DSs. With that said, now that you know it’s possible, will you try out Minecraft on the Nintendo DS? Let us know in the comments below.
