How to Install Play Games on Acekard for DSi

The Acekard is a third-party accessory for your Nintendo DSi handheld. It operates as a MicroSD adapter for your Nintendo DS, allowing you to play custom-made games from friends and independent developers. You can also import your own videos, music and other media and access them on your DS. Before you begin adding content to your Acekard, you must first install its operating system. Once the firmware is in place, you can begin importing information to the card.
