  • The Nintendo DSi (XL) has been an interesting version of the Nintendo DS Hardware to get acquainted with over the past year. Its inclusion of an SD card slot has also enabled it to run games and apps directly from the system without the use of a dedicated flash cart! In this video, I will take you through the process of hacking your Nintendo DSi (XL) and installing the Twilight Menu so you can get the most out of your system as possible.

    Just a tip for those of you who plan on adding a lot of games, You will have to create a few folders within each emulator folder(NDS, GBC, GBA) for every 39 games you add. The Nintendo system only reads the first 39 items in a folder and does not automatically add the remaining items into new folders.

    Some says you don't need to install unlaunch! Because it's install in your RAM messed up your RAM and makes bigger changes to brick your dsi system. Is that correct or no?? I'm about to mod my dsi xl but I'm in confusion now please help

      Sounds like a missing file for Twilight Menu. Go back over the file setup for it.
