How to Turn Your DSi Into a Phone

The Nintendo DSi has an impressive resume. It can play video games with intense clarity and serve as a digital camera. Now, with the right download, it also can allow you make phone calls. There are several VoIP applications that will connect your DSi to your computer to complete the process.

Instructions

- 1
  Download a VoIP application (see References). If you choose the "AIO Download" (for All in One Download), it will take a lot less time to set up. The AIO Download is the first link under "Downloads" on the Se7ensins.com link under "References."
- 2
  Follow the prompts to set up all of the software, including the VoIPBuster. If you chose the AIO Download, you have a VoIPBuster application with it; this allows you to make free calls to online contacts in and outside the United States. Set up your log-in and password on the VoIPBuster, or whatever VoIP application you use.
- 3
  Find the Svsip folder and open it. Then, find "config.txt."
- 4
  Fill in the dialog box with the proper information in the places where it says "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" and "YOURPASSHERE." (The second one is for the password). Add your VoIP site to the line for sip provider. It will be filled in if you're using VoIPbuster. The "sip" line appears three times in the dialog box.
- 5
  Find the dldipatcher folder and open DLDItool32.exe. Click the ellipsis next to "DLDI File." Find the .DLDI file you want to connect to the Svsip program.
- 6
  Click the ellipsis next to "Binaries" and highlight the "svsnip.nds" file when it appears in the "Svsip" folder. Then, move the arrow down to "Patch" in the bottom left of the dialog box and click.
- 7
  Insert the Action Replay MicroSD card into the proper slot on your computer. Drag the Svsip folder into the MicroSD card. Put the card into your handheld, open the file and start it on your DSi, and the dial pad will appear.
