How to Put Saved Games on Your DS

The Nintendo DS is a handheld gaming system that has hundreds of game choices. If your saved games get corrupted, or if you want to reach a different point in one of the games you own, you can download the save game files from other people who have played the game and transfer them to your system. To do this, you must have a software save game file reader installed on your computer. You can find this online and at most electronics stores.
