1:02 this is the ONLY channel I've ever seen recommend delete the file after to keep a clean download box.
This man is a true professional.

[shredbraahh]

I love how I asked a question in your last video about how to do exactly this, and now you have a video of it haha. Never disappointed, Mr. Locklair. Many thanks!!

this guy knows hes making all of our inner childs be at peace much love bro love this from you

[Jenisonc]

Why is it that every time I wonder if something is possible you have already seemed to have posted it.. :D I always apricate your content! Your the man!

[granitsheremetaj]

IMPORTANT (128GB): If you wonder why your NDSi is not booting up or reading the 128GB SD Card, the solution is: Format in FAT32 with 32K Cluster (i used WBFS Manager for that). After that it works just fine :)))

For anyone wondering what to do if they dont have a rom folder, all you have to do is make a rom folder on the SD card when its in your pc and then drop games in there.

[PSVitaFan]

You select all trimmed ROM you select that because it trims the extra space off of the game and you can save a lot of space on your memory card if you do this to every game

[ahem]

For some reason i find this vid more interesting that i watch it 5 times a day just to remind myself to get a dsi to try this

[durphurp]

I swear this is the only guy online with the answers we r seeking as opposed to those who tip toe around the over all goal

[AskYwalker]

Thank you for this literally bought a Dsi xl off ebay just to do this!!

[VorpalBender]

That UHF reference at the beginning pleased me.

I'm wondering how to dump DS games to the 3ds menu without the use of twilight menu++, its been done but there are no guides on how to do 😮‍💨

[TheOverkillSociety]

1. Go to a game store where DS games are usually unsealed
2. Open GM9i
3. Open the case and put the game in the console
4. Dump it onto your SD card and put it back in the case
5. Repeat until you have the games you wanted
6. Buy something and leave
7. Profit.

Hi Blaine. Another informative and wonderfully coherent video (as per usual 👍🏻)!

Now, it’s a little bit off topic here, but I’d like to make a request for one of your future videos if that’s okay? Specifically, I’d love it if you could create a “How to setup a 2TB HDD inside your Phat PS2” guide. I realise you added a PS2 FreeMcBoot video to your channel last year but the methodology behind a complete 2TB setup seems somewhat more complicated (involving a different HDD formatting method and a different software requirement for the associated HDD to PC connection). Most of the videos surrounding this 2TB HDD topic on Youtube are a few years old at this point (and, tbh, the majority of them are actually quite poor at relaying useful information) - on the other hand, I have every faith that you’d create the most professional instructional video of this kind on Youtube 😉.

Apologies for the length of the comment. Thanks for taking the time to read it!

[jaydenbroos]

Where did you download the games ( btw i love you're video's they are awesome, keep going)

[donniem]

oh my gosh your voice and presentation are so fun to listen

[ddgap]

So I want to mod my DSI but I want to be able to download games that I don't already own onto my DSI. How would I do that?

[Rose_MidKnight]

I don't have the roms folder, the newest jailbreak video didn't give me that folder. What do I do?

[wheeldealrepeat]

I came here from your jailbreak video and in this video you say I'll have a ROMS folder at 3:40 I don't have roms or hiya folders for some reason but everything from the previous video worked mint. Anyone know where I went wrong? Everything works up until I get to this point except I wasn't able to dump a game because the game slot on my DSi is broken. I downloaded roms and now don't have a spot to drop them on my SD card.

[tonkitdrix]

Hi Blaine! Thanks for the vid! Really helped me with modding my DSI! Quick question though, what should the file name if I want to add 3DS games to the ROMS folder? Cheers!
