How to Install Nintendo DS Games

Released in April of 2009 for North America, the DSi was the third generation of the Nintendo DS portable gaming system. The DSi added many innovative features, including two cameras, larger screens, matte finish and the new DSi Ware function. DSi Ware allows you to install Nintendo DSi games on your device with an Internet connection. This made the system even more portable, as users no longer had to carry game cartridges around with them.
