How to Upload Pictures From the Nintendo DSi to a Computer

The Nintendo DSi, unlike past models of the Nintendo DS, includes a built-in camera, allowing you to capture and save shots to the system's internal memory. The handheld also includes photo editing options. Once you have finished editing the shots as desired, you can share the pictures with a larger audience by transferring them to your computer. The DSi includes an SD card slot, allowing you to move the photos to the card for transfer to a computer.
