How to Mod a Nintendo DS: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how to give your Nintendo DS a makeover and unlock its full potential? Let’s dive into that very question!

So, you want to mod your Nintendo DS, huh? Well, you’re in for a treat because we’re about to break it down for you, step by step.

A Short and Sweet Answer

Modding a Nintendo DS usually means installing custom firmware or using a flashcart. These methods allow you to play homebrew games, use various applications, and in some cases, even play games from regions different than your own.

First, you’ll need to decide between using a flashcart or installing custom firmware. Flashcarts, like the R4, are accessories you insert into the DS cartridge slot. They typically come with a microSD card where you can load files. Custom firmware, on the other hand, requires a bit more technical know-how but can offer more flexibility.
