Best Apps for the Nintendo DS Lite & DS
Friday, August 21st, 2009
R4 Cards now allow you to expand your Nintendo DS & DS Lite gaming to a new level. The R4 Revolution Card allows you to use homebrew applications developed by other people on your DS. To use an R4 card you just need to transfer the apps onto a Micro SD Memory Card and plug the memory card into your R4 Card. Once that’s done just insert the R4 Card into the game slot of your Nintendo DS or DS Lite and you can start using these apps.
To get you started here’s a list of our favourite Nintendo DS applications that you can use with the R4 Card and most of these apps can be downloaded free of charge.
