Flash Cards
The newest and most exciting products to hit the NDS and NDSL systems are Flash Cards.
Flash Cards are just like
regular NDS/NDSL cards, except they have either re-writable
memory in them, or are capable of storing information on an external memory card - the operation is similar
to flash cards used in digital cameras. Using your computer
you can transfer information to the cartridge/memory such as programs,
eBooks, pictures, and other tools and run them on your
NDS or NDSL.
Using a GBA/NDS/NDSL Flash Card
Using a NDS/NDSL slot-1 Flash Card is easy and generally involves
a three step process.
- Connect your microSD flash memory to your computer.
- Using your PC Drag and Drop the slot-1 system menu files, and any other programs/tools/game files, to your microSD memory card.
- Place your microSD memory card in your slot-1 flash card and enjoy.
These are the basic steps, you should ALWAYS read the manual
before operating any software or Flash Card.
