Do these things come with an OS of some kind?

What the games? No

The DS itself Bassically has an OS on it.

Ok, and how do I turn it on? Can I power it via USB?

I found one along the road and it seems to have lost its owner.. If turning it on will help me locate its owner, I'd be kind of thankful. That and I'm kind of curious to see how it works.

If not, I'll just pin a sign on the tree asking if anyone lost anything expensive lately. Maybe insult their two digit IQ while I'm at it, eh?

Check both of these picture if its a DS lite it should be

on the side like this

Regular DS

Should be the button that has a red circle around it

Remember to hold the button down for a few seconds until It comes on.
To turn it off just Hold it down again for a few seconds.

Next a screen like this will popup (http://www.gearlive.com/blogimages/ds/dsboot.jpg)


Then! just tap the screen and It will give you a screen like this (http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/5097/63359582fp7.jpg) There should be a name on the top screen.

Thanks,

It's a "lite" variant and it seems to be out of juice. I probably need a special adapter to charge it eh? Has some type of port on top.. Looks like USB but I don't have any cables like that lying around at the moment.

I'll just go ahead with printing the sign. Hope I don't get a lot of weirdos claiming its theirs...

Did you turn it on and check for a name at the top?
