you can install them iirc, but they'll be a part of the twl nand (not the sd card). you have about 100-something MBs to work with.

I"m not sure exactly how bit the twl nand is. you can see in fbi. it's been years since I've installed a dsi app.

@Robz8 is the ds and dsi expert with the 3ds. I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure it's installed to twl, and that part of the nand is very limited on the 3ds.

TWL NAND is around 128MB.
i see, game is 134 mb tho
If the ROM is a DSi-Exclusive game that isn't DSiWare, it won't work.
If you have TWiLight Menu++ installed, nds-bootstrap (the part that runs the retail DS ROMs on SD) will soon be able to run such ROMs in the future.

it will error then, if it's larger than that. I've tried installing several twl forwarders for ds games on my flash cart, each is around 2,000-something KBs iirc, but if you try to do over 40 of them, I think, it will error due to space. I can't recall if it will even try to install, but I wouldn't even bother.

followed the guide, i put the .dsi game into dsiware folder, seems like the twilight menu recognize it no problem, with icon and name etc, but as soon as i start it, it creates the save and then says "an error has occured"

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
