Question
Is it possible to hook the ds up to the tv or computer to view it on larger screen.

Answer
Gday Chris,

While it is possible to do there is not anything commercially available to do the job or should I say anything that is really worth while.  The 2 ways possible are wiring up AV outputs to both screens and using the DS as the controller.  The other is via a camera system and hardwiring a controller into the DS.  While both are not pretty they work.  Several enterprising people have done it check the following links.
