Nintendo DS wifi questions

Well, I read the manual a time or two, and still not sure about one thing.... possibly two.


First and most important of all, is the wi-fi feature of the DS.
I know from reading a bit in other posts, that it is needed for final weapons/equipment in FFIII, but that is not the major concern.
My mom frequently visits the hospital for 4hrs-2 days for various things because she gets sick alot, and they still can't figure out whats causing it.

So, being hospitals don't allow wi-fi/cell phones in some areas, I wanted to know if there is a way to turn wifi off on the DS... because I've looked and can't seem to find it.
Does the DS just stay in regular mode until you make it wi-fi via a menu? Or will it turn on its Wi-Fi automatically(what I'm afraid of)


and a distant second.... the screen is quite small... much smaller than I ever thought.. the whole unit is for that matter....
Don't suppose there is a way to hook it up to a TV via cord to ease my neck? :)

It stays off until you use a function that requires it. Example in Mario Kart, it only turns on if you choose to multiplayer or to play online.

Not without dismantling the DS.

alright thanks...

Will just have to find a way to play so it don't hurt my neck after 4+ hours

I've never had a problem with the size of the DS screen. Why would your neck hurt? :P It's not like you have to lean in to see it or anything.

Well the first night I got it, I read all the manuals, and turned on the DS to make sure it worked.. i popped FFIII into it and played for a few minutes, then turned it off, cause my neck was hurting.. not sure if it was a relation.


But I am a tall guy with big hands, so it does seem small.

It could have been the stress of the day, and other things I guess.
Just hope it won't be a problem playing it in the future. I'll probably start it as soon as I finish FFXII

If you're bending over to see it, hold it up more instead.
