How to Transfer an SD Card's Info Onto Your DSi

Your Nintendo DSi includes a System Settings menu that enables you to copy files from an SD memory card to the device. You can copy games, music files with extensions such as M4A, MP4 or 3GP, and photographs captured in DSi Camera mode and saved to an SD card with a capacity of up to 32GB.
