How to Mod a DSi With the SD Card Slot

You can mod your Nintendo DSi to play Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance games. You can also download and add games that are available online for free. To do this, you will need an R4i card, which has a MicroSD slot and a MicroSD reader for you to slide into the USB slot on your computer. You will need the R4i card and MicroSD card to transfer firmware and DSi games to the DSi console. You will be playing your games in no time.

      Download DS games. If the files are in an Rar format, open the Rar folder to abstract the game file that ends in ".nds." Copy and paste that file onto your MicroSD card window or drag the file onto the MicroSD card window. Do this for as many games as you want to place on the MicroSD card.
