If you want to install a Flash Player on your DSi, it’s likely that you will want to watch YouTube videos on your handheld console. Unfortunately, due to limitations that are seen in the hardware of this gaming unit, it isn’t possible for files in a .flv format to be accepted at the moment. Although there are instructional guides that suggest you can convert .flv files into a format compatible with the DSi, and others that promise users that there is software available, you should be careful not to make any dramatic adaptations to your equipment just in case your warranty is voided.
If you void your warranty, this means that a broken screen or a malfunctioning button would not be repaired by Nintendo for free within the 12-month period of purchase. As the cost of mending the handset can be quite expensive, this may leave you considerably out of pocket.
Don’t forget that there are plenty of excellent alternatives for entertaining yourself on the DSi. Not only can you buy some fantastic games for your enjoyment, such as New Super Mario Bros. And Mario Kart, but new releases that make full use of the camera on the console are guaranteed to add a novel aspect to the gaming experience. If you’re bored of unimaginative platforms where you just need to collect coins and get to the end of the level, this will be a breath of fresh air that you will relish.
So: Go and enjoy playing with your DSi, but most of all, be sensible and don’t try to break it merely to play Flash files!
Currently it is not possible to run Adobe Flash Player on the Nintendo DSi. The hardware required to run the program is not available on the Nintendo device and it is simply not powerful enough. Many sites suggest that you can download the program onto an SD card and run it from there but it is not something that can actually be done. If you visit Adobe’s download page you will find no trace of any software that is compatible with the DSi and programs cannot technically be run from an SD card. There are no alternative Flash players available and only ones that are licensed by Adobe are legal.
The Nintendo DSi is a handheld gaming device that was launched in 2008 as the third iteration of the Nintendo DS. The DSi saw the introduction of two cameras to the device as well as a larger screen and slightly lighter weight. It also had the new feature of a card slot allowing users to insert SD cards into the device. The extensive multimedia features of the newer device allow users to store pictures, downloadable software and audio files onto the SD cards and transfer them onto their computer. Photos taken on the DSi can be uploaded onto the Wii’s Photo Channel or onto Facebook. The device also has a built in ‘Nintendo DSi Sound Player’. With this, users can record sounds and playback music. Voice recordings can be edited and manipulated while music files can be played through the SD card. The Nintendo DSi can be connected to the internet via its bullt in WiFi or by using the WiFi USB connector. Through these you can access the Nintendo WiFi Connection. Since the Nintendo DSi was released, new models have included the Nintendo DSi XL and the Nintendo DS 3D.
