Mail this postCan You Really Download DS Games From The Internet?
If you are like a lot of folks in this modern era then you certainly already know that if you search hard enough, you can find almost anything on the internet these days. From movies currently in theaters to new release books scanned into a computer, there are people uploading it. The same can be said for Nintendo DS games.
There are a lot of sites out there that will allow you to download DS games for a nominal cost or even free. What these sites don’t tell you is that there are serious risks involved when downloading DS games from them.
The most popular place to download DS games are Torrent and P2P sites. The problem with sites like these are that most do no type of verification of what is being uploaded. There are a lot of malicious people out there that put files out of the newest hit game that everyone wants. You find it and download it only to find that when you go to run the file, you’ve actually just released a nasty virus onto your computer that may be difficult to take off. Even if you have great anti-virus software that would protect your system, you still have to worry about the other files that contain adware and spyware. Once some of those files are on your computer, they can even mutate and spread themselves around so that even the most sophisticated spyware software will have trouble finding them and removing them.
There are also non torrent sites available that advertise free DS downloads. Again, you have to be careful with sites like these. Some sites will give free games and state you only have to provide your e-mail address and date of birth while other require nothing more that an cell phone number. First of all, after this is completed, you’re going to find that the games do not work. Second, you’ll soon find your e-mail address filled with spam from companies you’ve never heard of and text messages on your cell phone trying to sell you everything under the sun. All of this because you wanted a free DS game.
It is understandable that it is tempting to see all of these great games for free and want to download them. Just ask yourself if the small reward is worth the serious risk involved. If you simply purchase the games from your favorite retailer, your system will be safe and you can rest easy.

Downloading games for your DS can be a quick and cost-effective way to get access to titles which are difficult to obtain for one reason or another. It can also offer a convenient way to have access to all of your favorite titles without having to invest in expensive carrying cases for all of your cartridges (you also don’t have to keep track of all of them!). In order to download Nintendo DS games online and use them on your DS, you’ll need a few extra items to facilitate the transfer. Invest in getting a good-quality R4 card that includes a micro SD card and flash drive. You can use the flash drive to get the DS games onto your SD card, which will then fit into the R4 card that can run in the DS itself. These products are offered for a variety of prices, anywhere from $50-$100 depending on the quality.
If these numbers make you wince, consider that the average price for a DS cartridge is normally around $25, and this hardware will easily house a dozen games. In the long run, the investment is worth it!
Once you have the hardware, finding the games you want is the next struggle. There are a number of websites which house Nintendo DS game downloads you need, and you can obtain them via a P2P connection or torrent software. The ever-present danger with obtaining popular titles for free is, of course, the danger of adware, spyware and other malicious programs embedded in the file. Always inspect the websites you download Nintendo DS games from thoroughly for any signs that the files may be illegitimate: look for reviews and comments that others have made about the Nintendo DS games download and whether the website has had problems in the past. Once you have downloaded the program promptly scan it using antivirus software before putting it on your flash card and SD card. It may mean taking more time finding a title you want, but that’s better than having your computer (much less your DS) bombarded with malicious software. If it seems too good to be true, play it safe and assume it is!
Once you have the file and you’re assured that it’s safe, put the flash drive into your PC and put your SD card into the flash drive. Transfer the .nds file in your download onto the SD card (this may require you to “unzip” the download. You can do this with programs such as WinRAR), place the SD card into your R4 card and insert the R4 card into your DS. From there you should be ready to play, all your favorite titles conveniently housed in one easy-to-carry cartridge rather than a series of clunky plastic cartridges!
With the proper equipment and precaution downloading Nintendo DS games can be a snap, and a great way to save money on overly-expensive and cumbersome cartridges if you can overcome the initial investment required.
A short note at the end of this article: if you are looking for the best nintendo DS game download site, I highly recommend PocketDownloadCenter. You will get access to 1000s of Nintendo DS games. The other thing that stands out about PocketDownloadCenter is their fee structure. While most membership sites charge a monthly fee, PocketDownloadcenter doesn’t. Members pay a one-time fee and instantly have access to a database of over 150,000 downloads. Now you should have enough information on how to download DS games, so go ahead… do it!
