Hi Tempers! Most of you don't know me because I'm not super active, but I'm slowly trying to fix that. Anyway, I've got a story to tell today that I think is pretty great (it's made me very happy at the very least).
I got my first DSi in Christmas of 2009. I was pretty happy with it, and I have many good memories using it with the EZ-Flash V my dad got me in a sketchy video game store. Fast forward to summer of 2010, and one day I'm goofing around with it and I discover DSi sound. I make a bunch of silly recordings with my brother, parents, and grandparents. We sing a bunch of silly songs and do impressions of commercials that were on at the time.
I pretty much lose these the winter of that year, because I hand it to my dad and ask him to charge it, and he handles it a bit roughly and breaks the charging port. It ends up not mattering because I later get the Pokemon Black DSi bundle in March and continue my enjoyment with it. I keep the old DSi put away, since it can't charge itself anymore.
What I didn't know when I was making those silly recordings was that my grandfather's health was about to take a fatal turn. He gets very sick around a year later and lives in constant pain until his death in December of 2013. I'd dreamed he would get better, but knew he wouldn't. I still miss him to this day. He would take me out for a cup of coffee at this exact place every day during school breaks, and we would call it our little "escapes" (even though everyone knew where we were). We would make jokes together all the time. We had a great relationship, even though we lived far apart and only saw each other during breaks.
And, finally, fast forward to today. I'm thinking about thst old DSi with the recordings in it, when I realize that since only the charger port was broken I could swap the batteries with that of my Pokemon Black DSi and it would turn on again. I do so, and when it turns on I boot up DSi sound and listen to those silly recordings. Using my DSi, I've heard my grandfather's voice alive and well again, and that's something I didn't even realize I'd be able to say. I'm extremely grateful for that.
And now, I would like some advice from you, my fellow Temps. DSi sound has no export function, so those recordings are more or less tied to the DSi. I would really like to find a way to dump them and send them to my family. I tried to use a headphone cable to connect the DSi to my co,outer and record with Audacity, but the sound quality was terrible. Does anyone know of any way to dump it to my sd Card, or of any gear I could use to transfer it to my PC without terrible sound quality? I'm guessing I could hardmod it, but if I mess up I lose the recordings. Not willing to take the risk. Any help is appreciated, whether it be software tricks or a better cable for connecting to Audacity.
Thanks for taking a read through this.
