Thanks for the reply.
That is true, however the power supply I used is from 2001 (still works fine, barely ever used it), and I was under the impression that those old ones didn't require a load. If I'm wrong, I suppose I could stick a resistor between 5v and common to solve that, right?

Also, I still haven't figured anything else regarding the DS itself, yet. Gonna do some more research tomorrow.
