[quote name='shadylane']ok so i just bought the ds but i'm just a little confused as what it can do...
first of all...can you play mutiplayer with people in other states through wifi?
my box didn't come with the adapter for the headphones....was it suppose to?
had other questions but i forgot them...i will post when they come to me[/QUOTE]
1) The wifi capability - from what I understand - depends on the game itself. Most of them offer a "challenge anyone" mode that works globally and/or regionally. I know that's how Mario Kart DS works (I think).
And then you can also set up friend codes and play against those specific people. In other words, if you and I exchange codes on a game, we can try to play against each other (though sometimes it's still random on who you play against, as in...you'll put in 5 codes and don't actually get to choose WHO you play, it's just a luck of the draw).
So if me, you, and 5 other people all have each other's codes, and we all are online trying to play a...4 player game, 3 of us get randomly left out.
2) No, it won't come with a headphone adapter. But there IS a regular 3.5mm headphone jack on it that you can use. At least, last time I checked there was. You can also get headphones that are completely compatible with the DS/GBA.
Please let other people confirm these things. I don't have a way to verify them myself at the moment.
