Ngl I was a fan of Tokyo ghoul til I watched chainsaw man that anime is 10x better

[@mauragrijalva7663]

I cannot believe my timing. Literally never have done anything like this. And today at 2am I decided this is what I was gonna do with my time. I thought this video was at least a couple of months old. But five days???? I’m incredibly great ful. I’m not very tech savvy and the written instructions were very difficult to do. Watching you do it while I did it at the same time helped out so much!!!

[@funkyscott47]

Wooo! it was meant to be then!! :)

lmfao I'm doing this at 3am haha

Around 3:34 if I'm not mistaken, you need to actually take a photo for the DCIM folder to be created.

[@KobiusTheRadical]

you're my hero

[@issacmarrujo563]

You are my hero

[@ĐạiHỷLam]

you don't really nead that DCIM folder as it contain your photos and stuff and can be deleted later

[@daddiwankenobi4456]

god bless your heart

[@Chronoveil]

You don't need a DCIM folder on a new SD, it's just for old pictures you want to save with an old sd, but you do need to create the pit.bin by opening the sd card in photos

[@ĐạiHỷLam]

OMG this is so helpful, i stucked with many steps with my broken dsi sd card for years because most instruction lacked some step and i don't know how those work so i keep messing up

[@NotSoNormalSquirtle]

Great tutorial, very simple and easy to watch and didn't take too long

[@Baronvolt]

I've had my DSI with for over half of my life so I wanted use it again recently , however I'm terrible with technology so I went searching up and down on how to mod a DSI and I found your video, thank you so much for making this! I followed each step to the letter and it's working splendidly, currently playing Animal Crossing Wild World on it

[@ot_tr048]

@funkyscott47 dude... You are an absolute legend. Ive had this Dsi since I was a child and only ever had 1 game card and quickly finished them all and gave up on the Dsi for years. Now that I'm older I finally realised the bigger world of games out there, and you helped me achieve that. Thank you so much bro.

[@funkyscott47]

I'm very happy to help get more life out of your dsi

Hey FunkyScott! I have a suggestion, you should make some more DSi videos such as, How to install Hiya CFW or How to install twilight menu ++ game forwarders for dsi menu or something like that

[@funkyscott47]

hey callum! thanks for the suggestions, I've been wondering what other DSi Videos to make :)

[@CallumBlackGames]

@@funkyscott47 No problem! :) I just snagged a dsi at a garage sale for 10 bucks 2 days ago. I'm pretty sure the battery is faulty because the power button does nothing. So I ordered a new DSi battery off of amazon. It could also be a faulty power board but i'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

[@ss1980s]

Worked perfectly, thank you so much! i don't know why i didn't do this sooner, i've only played mario kart for so long haha

Can you also do the same thing with games from other consoles, like NES games, SNES games, Megadrive/Genesis games, every version of Game Boy games, etc?

[@weirdlittleangel]

Thanks for the tuto, just revived a DSi that is 10+ years old and had'nt been used in 6 years.

[@tbomb1194]

After you finish nodding your DSi, do you need to leave the SD card in the DSi to run Twilight or can you take it out and use it for other devices?

[@Retrowt]

you need to keep it in

[@cillasvilla]

How do I go back to my regular Home Screen?

[@cookiethefishy]

I went into unlaunched and set one of the other buttons in the options settings to launcher so when I hold that button when turning on the ds it boots to the home menu

[@TheBigUngaBunga]

Found my old DSI and I was just wondering if this guide is still effective to this date as I want to make an R4 card for my self

[@funkyscott47]

yup! but if you use this guide and have an sd card, the r4 card isn't really needed

I like to use Hiya CFW, so I won't loose access to original DSi Menu, (because I use cartrigeds) and also a plus is that Twilight Menu installs as another program on DSI Menu, so I can launch it whenerver I want to.

[@sunnybunnyfunny]

Question, I just bought a dsi and I was wondering if you could still play physical games? I have a couple of physical games that I love, and I wanna continue playing them on it after modding! Would I just be better off accessing the Twilight menu through the dsi camera if that's the case? Thanks in advance!

[@cloudth02]

in wondering the same

[@MikeSiegert]

maybe a weird question but are you still able to play physical games from the cartridge slot after homebrewing your console? I have a few games with save files I would like to be able to continue playing.

[@IceisNice_FollowingChrist]

Yea you can. I've done it on my 3ds too.

[@lamonite]

you can, but I'm pretty sure you need to change the theme to Nintendo 3DS in twilight menu settings. also, you can dump the game and save files using godmode9i

I have the same MicroSD card in my 2DS XL but 32 gigabytes. And I have the same microSD adapter, which I use to insert the microSD card into my computer!
