Downloading Nintendo DS Games: What You Need To Know

  

So, you’ve heard it’s possible to download games for your Nintendo DS, but you have no idea how to do it. You might even be starting to think that it’s not possible, that it’s an internet myth, so first things first. Yes, you too can learn how to download games for the DS!

And now that we have that out of the way, the next thing you’ll need to know is how to get the games you download from your computer to your DS. For this you will need either an SD card or a MicroSD card. Make sure you get one with either built-in flash memory, or a flash drive the card goes in to. These are easy to use, easy to find, and relatively inexpensive, so don’t be intimated.

Next, you’ll need to go online and actually find the games you want to download. There are lots of ways to do this. Torrent sites and P2P file-sharing are both free, however both come with risks. By now you know that viruses, spyware, and malware are very real threats, and that they’re all associated with these sorts of downloads. The other thing you should be aware of is that there’s no guarantee the games you’re getting this way will work, or that the file you’re downloading is even the game it’s claiming to be.

There are also plenty of free download sites out there, however you’ll soon find that downloading DS games from these sites is not only slow-going, but as with torrents, the games don’t always work. They carry the same risks regarding viruses and malware, and since free sites are often inundated with advertising, you’re likely to encounter harmful adware there, as well.

But all is not lost!

After doing just a little more research, you’ll soon find that membership sites are a much better way to download Nintendo DS games. There are a number of them out there, but PocketDownloadCenter is one of the best of the bunch. The download speeds are super fast, they have all the best new games for the Nintendo DS and all your old favorites, too, and more are being added all the time. There are no monthly fees, and for about the same cost as purchasing a single new game for your DS, you’ll get instant access to unlimited virus-free downloads, plus a step-by-step tutorial for beginners and 24/7 technical support if you need it. Which you won’t.
