Hacking DSi FAQ

[Defiance]

Is it possible for Nintendo to release an update to include MP3 support? I mean, I know it's possible, you can play MP3s with Flashcards..

 

[DeltaBurnt]

Yah it's a possibility.

 

[Agent007]

Too bad it can't play N64 or PS1 ... That would be awesome

lol

is there anychance of dsi playing PSP games ? Iunno if I am being a total idiot and asking but I know that there are emulators on the psp to play ds games i think.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

A PSP playing a DS game is totally different from a DS playing a PSP game.

A DS playing a PSP is basically the same case as the PS1 or N64. The PSP is basically the portable PS1. So if it can't play PS1 games it definitely can't play PSP games.

But good question I'll add that to the FAQ.

Can i download the Nintendo web browser without a SD card? What i mean is if i don't have a SD card in my slot, can i still download and use the web browser By the way, can i use the 16gb SDHC card in the DSi slot? Also, what would happened to my downloaded games in my SD card if my SD card is broken? Does it mean that i have to buy the games again?

I don't know...a way more powerful PS1 would probably be a PS2...a PSP is basically in between the PS1 and PS2.

Yes you should be able to download the web browser and store it on the internal memory of the DSi. All SD cards and SDHC cards should work on the DSi. And no if your SD card breaks you can go onto the DSi Store and redownload them like on the Wii. Unless someone deletes your history, then that means nintendo wipes your account and you have to rebuy all of your things, so make sure you don't do that.

Hey could someone check out the time which it takes to transfer the Web browser to their memory card? I think my memory card is slow as or something, because it took a good 45 seconds to transfer. Thanks in advance.

Nice FAQ! I have to say I'll be holding off on picking up a DSi for a while... certainly doesn't seem like there's much reason to get one (especially at this point).

the new screens are 17% larger than the original ds and ds lite screens.

2.6" (w) x 1.95" (h) [3.25" diagonal] compared to 2.4" (w) x 1.8" (h) [3.0" diagonal]

I noticed that when its your birthday, the the boot screen isn't high pitched like in previous models. Wonder why. I always liked it.

This needs to be stickied.

Also, I recommend media-convert.com for media conversion if you don't want to download the horrible bloat that is iTunes for Windows.

I found Switch to be a good conversion program. http://www.nch.com.au/switch/

I think that you should add this:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=146...p;#entry1887188

EDIT:

Q: How do I organize my channels?
A: Hold down the stylus on the channel your want to move, slide it up, move it to the place you want it to go and slide it down.

Also D-pad works. By pressing Up...

Well seeing as how flashcarts emulate Slot-1 games...and these new cards are for the Slot-1 then in theory the most we would probably have to do is patch the game (we may need to update our flashcarts firmware...but that would only be a one time thing...).
