arrggg (2012-03-06 05:38:31)update: movies/videos don't work too well unless they are 40 seconds or less... sorry.
arrggg (2012-03-06 21:33:15)right. I was just telling people what they could do. I just play homebrew apps

I know most of you have probably heard of these, but I'm going to share this anyway.
R4 cards are nintendo ds game cards that have a slot to insert a micro sd card. You download games in an nds file type onto the card, stick it in your ds/dsi/3ds, and boot up the game you want to play. You can find nds file games all over the place online (my favorite sites are filecrop and mediafire). You can download many games onto the micro sd, and then take them all with you in one game cartridge. The best part is, after you buy the R4 card online, the rest is free! All the ds games you want for no charge!
One thing that I found out is that if you download lameboy.nds onto the card, you can play gameboy color games- Even on your dsi or 3ds! And while this is a nice feature, it doesn't even compare to what I'm going to tell you next; with a little bit of patience, you can download movies and music onto the card to play on your ds! For music, all you have to do is create a folder in the micro sd card titled 'music' or 'songs' or whatever you want it to be called. Then you download your favorite songs into that folder in an mp4 format. It's that easy!
Movies, however, are a bit more difficult. Let's say you find a youtube video that you like. You then download it in an mp4 file type. This is where the work comes in. You must now google 'dpg file converter' and find a good working one. Put the mp4 file into the converter and change it to a dpg file. Again, you must now make a new file on the micro sd card. Title this one 'movies' or 'videos' or something like that. Now you save your dpg file video into that folder and insert the micro sd into the R4 card.
Presto! Now you can play games, music, or short videos on your nintendo ds, dsi, or 3ds!
