From simple to crazy and back again!

When Nintendo first announced the DSi there was much speculation of how it would handle Homebrew, this along with Nintendo saying that the DSi will not be hackable, as always has lead to this:

The first Nintendo DSi Hack:

The hacker “Yasusoft” put this video up on YouTube shortly after the release of the DSi in Japan. It shows his “Hello, World!” message floating and centering on the top screen of a DSi.

One of the biggest differences between the DSi and previous DS handhelds is internet connectivity. While the DS and DS Lite both included online play for many of their titles, the DSi takes it one step further by allowing games and other Nintendo software to be downloaded and stored on SD cards.

With the DSi not being compatible with current flash cartridges came the release of the Acekard 2i. It’s the first DSi compatible flash cartridge. The features appear to be identical to previous versions and we expect other manufactures will be updating their product lines in the near future.

Stay tuned for more DSi Hacks.

This is one of the most common questions I get asked so it will be the first Nintendo DS Hack that I add to the site.

Let me just make it clear, there is no magic involved. We are just making our Nintendo DS (Lite) function like the iPod not making it look like one.

To complete this and many of the other hacks we will carry out on either the Nintendo DS or DS Lite we will need a R4DS Chip. To find out about the R4DS and where to get them from check out the R4DS page.

Once you have your R4DS set up, things are pretty simple. All you need to do is add your files onto the MicroSD card, place this inside you R4DS cartridge and plug it into your DS/DS Lite.

When you switch on the console you will see some icons, choose the Music option and away you go, you can select which song you would like to play.

Now chill out and listed to your music via the earphones or built in speakers.

So you are the proud owner of a Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii but you want to get that little bit extra out of your console.

You’re in the right place.
