Updated: 1/23/2018 Looking to mod your Nintendo DS? (DSi/2DS/3DS/3DS XL/New 2DS XL/New 3DS, New 3DS XL) I offer a hardmoding service for ANY & ALL Systems and ANY.

Step 1: Determinate which DS you have. This is of course simple, but for those who really don't know it: (properties may be not completly precise) Nintendo DS. If you have a DSi (XL) you also need to check which firmware you have. This can be checked by going into the system settings menu and then looking in the bottom-right corner of the upper screen. Check which number it is.

If this is 1.4 or higher, you need a special update in order to let your flashcard work. More on fw 1.4 or higher later. For the 3DS are no flashcards that can play 3DS games Step 2: Chose which flashcard you want. First you need to answer the question: do I also want to be able to play backup games? If the answer is no: chose a flashcard that only enables homebrew and multimedia.

The only I know of are the, and the card. If the answer is yes or you doubt: use other flashcards.

There are many: check. Here is a list of all I know of. These are top-rated: • • Others include: • • • • • • • R4 is not included because of its many clones and the official one will not have any updates any more.

If you have a DSi (XL), you must get the version that works with a dsi, most times is this an 'i' version of the flashcard, 'Normal' ones wont work. DSi compatible flashcards will work on the normal DS and DS (Lite) 2. If you have a DSi (XL) with firmware 1.4 or higher, check if it has an update for the firmware you have. More on this later. Step 3: Buy and prepare your microSD card.

Chose how much memory you want. Most sellers sell microSD cards with the flashcard. If you get a new one, I suggest that you get a Sandisk. This is a pure personal opinion. When you have all things, download the firmware of your flashcard. Get it from the official site, that is the latest version. Know you also need or similar, a program for extracting files.

Now we're all set, lets start. First, doubleclick on the file you downloaded. Here you should see 3~8 files, while holding [ctrl] down, click on all files, except those that have the *.txt extension. Then right click on a selected file, and choose 'Extract to specified folder'. Choose the drive letter of your micro-SD card. After a few minutes it should be done. When you have done this, you can put games, homebrew and multimedia on it.

For movies you need to convert them, there's a excellent guide, written by schadowsonic2, on this linked below. You can create separate folders for your music, games etc., but in most cases this is not required. For some cards though, it is so that they don't support multi-layers of folders. This means that when you have on the root a folder for your music, you can't place a folder inside that folder, because your card won't see it. For some cards there is a custom firmware. The only three I know are AKAIO for the acekard, YSmenu, and wood for R4.
