for when you get around to the GB KISS(id imagine that a IR USB device would help emulation for those that can't afford to get it or to try and mitigate scalping)

the full scans of the manual seem to be missing, the insert ones though are here

you could try and contact him to see if he still has the manual scans, but i don't know how much luck you'll have
the passion he displayed reminded me of you

Nintendo DS Digital TV Tuner, DS Direction Sensing Card,
DS Direction Sensing Card, Beypoint Reader, Piano Keyboard,
Ranger GPS System, Hyperkin 3 Game Selector, Dragon NDS Lite FM Radio Converter,
FM Radio by Futureronics, The Bling Tunes FM Radio, Cyber Famulator Lite,

Thanks for posting all of that information! I actually referenced that Nectaris site quite a bit while writing my upcoming book. It's a shame some of the pictures of the GB KISS LINK are so low-resolution though.

I still have my eye on quite a few DS accessories to work on. I've had most of the items on that list in my possession for a while (including the NTR-030, e.g. Hoshizora Navi). Still looking for the Bayer Digit though. Unfortunately, the DS is going to have to wait until I finish up with the rest of the GBA stuff. We're actually very close to having all of the officially licensed DMG/GBC/GBA accessories/peripherals/cartridges emulated in some form or another, so I want to see that goal taken care of first before doing more DS work. Unlicensed products aren't a priority at this time either, although I have my eye on them (such as the Shark MX, for instance).

Regardless, I appreciate your enthusiasm for exotic Game Boy/DS hardware! Feel free to post any more research you come across here. It's a slow process, but we're gradually preserving things.

Thank you for showing enthusiasm in obscure accessories too!

I also am excited in emulating or at least virtualizing (making a full Linux VM) for old Smart TVs.
