Tips & Warnings
Each chat room can support up to 16 people at once. If one chat room is full, you and your friends can switch to another.
If you start the DS Lite and it is in automatic mode, the unit will start any DS Lite game that you have inserted in SLOT-1. Unless you change the DS Lite to operate in manual mode, you will need to remove all games from the DS Lite before trying to use PictoChat.
The chat room is a public area. Once you have posted something, anyone in the chat room may view or redistribute your posts without your consent.
The Nintendo DS Lite features two screens and touch-screen controls, and includes a headphone jack, volume controls and buttons for game-play actions....
