My DSPico from WoodBeyond has arrived in the post just this afternoon and I'm going to describe in greater detail as to what I think of it.
The DSPico came in a small bag for where a USB cable would go, but I later found out this was to accommodate the extra parts it comes with. The microUSB cable came separately with how it was packaged and sent out. The microUSB cable itself is short (roughly 0.2 meters); I would've preferred a nice and longer cable than the one it comes with because it would make my life easier.
Inside the small bag, it comes with a few extras: a front shell that exposes the GPIO pins on the Pico, x6 stickers, and the DSPico itself (I have selected a white shell). Onto the cartridge itself; when the shell has been placed, there are still blank gaps around the sides of the cartridge (left and right), almost like it wasn't closed properly. It doesn't help that one of the corners is slightly cracked from when it was done, like, if somebody had placed so much pressure. Print quality is not bad aside from what I've stated about the shell.
Inspecting the stickers, the print quality looked grainy, but not enough to ruin the overall quality of them—they are glossy coated. There was also one misprint I found that had the LNH logo overlapping in the top-left corner. When applying one of the stickers onto my cartridge, I have to center it at the bottom whilst applying it, because the first attempt did not fit the area where the label was supposed to go due to the dimensions. If you don't like how the stickers come with it, there are other places to get DS labels made that should fit your cartridge, such as Etsy.
What you might be asking is, "Does it fit well into a Nintendo DS?" I took two DS consoles out of my collection, those being the original DS (NTR-001) and the Nintendo 3DS (CTR) model. The cartridge has fitment issues, with the shell being too thick to fit into my 3DS; it gets stuck right after I insert it, and I cannot remove it without my fingernail. The same results go for the original DS. I'm not sure if this was how the shell was designed or how it was printed; I'm likely thinking the latter.
I have yet to try this out as I'm in the midst of compiling the bootloader and firmware, but I'll come back with the results. But everything that I have described is all you need to know, and should you buy this is up to you. I wish they could improve the shell to fit in every console, the cable it comes with, and also better improve the stickers and maybe offer different finishes—both glossy and matte because the glossy labels are notable fingerprint magnets. So, for the price, I can't complain too much.





that’s pretty neat
