3DS:DS games

The 3DS can run Nintendo DS games natively by simply inserting the cartridge on the slot, but, alternatively, if you don't want to carry your cartridges around, or if you'd like to use homebrew designed for the DS, you can use a dump from your Nintendo DS cartridge to run your game from the SD card.

What You Need

• The latest version of Universal-Updater
• A dump from your Nintendo DS cartridge or NDS homebrew in .nds format
