It is a good idea to download ds games, because it will safe you a lot of money and you will get games and applications that are not available for sale anywhere. Another advantage is that you do not need a big carrying case for all of your cartridges and you also do not have to keep track of them!). In order to download ds games online and use them on your DS, you’ll need a few extra items to facilitate the transfer. It’s recommended to buy a high quality R4 card. It should include a micro SD card and a flash drive. You can use the flash drive to get the games onto your SD card, which will then fit into the R4 card that can run in the DS itself. These products are offered for a variety of prices, anywhere from $50-$100 depending on the quality. If these numbers make you wince, consider that the average price for a DS cartridge is normally around $25, and this hardware will easily house a dozen games. In the long run, the investment is worth it!
Once you have the hardware, finding the ds games you want is the next struggle. There are a number of websites which house the files you need, and you can obtain them via a P2P connection or torrent software. The major problem with free ds games is that they are most of the times infected with spyware, adware or other malicious programms. It is highly adviced to inspect websites you are about to download from carefully; the best thing to do is read comments and reviews other eople have made about the downloads and whether the site had any problems in the past such as adware, spyware etc. Before putting the downloaded ds game on your flash card and SD card make sure you scan it for viruses or other malicious software. Instead of having your computer infected with malware or spware, it is better to spend some time searching for the tilte you are looking for and downloading them from a scam free site. If it seems too good to be true, play it safe and assume it is!
Once you have the file and you’re assured that it’s safe, put the flash drive into your PC and put your SD card into the flash drive. Transfer the .nds file in your download onto the SD card (you most probably will have to unzip the software; you can use a program such as winzip. You can do this with programs such as WinRAR), place the SD card into your R4 card and insert the R4 card into your DS. From there you should be ready to play, all your favorite titles conveniently housed in one easy-to-carry cartridge rather than a series of clunky plastic cartridges!
With the proper equipment and precaution downloading DS games can be a snap, and a great way to save money on overly-expensive and cumbersome cartridges if you can overcome the initial investment required.
