Best Nintendo DSi case

Wondering how to protect your DSi?

I’m partial to the DSi Voyager Case (link to Amazon).

It fits your DSi snugly while holding one or two other games. The soft interior will not scratch your DSi’s finish.

Its a wallet style, which gives you full ability to play and charge without removing the DSi from the case. Obviously, the wallet must be open but its much more convenient than some other options. Plus it looks nice.

Google trends for “DSi”

According to Google trends, it looks like search and news interest in Nintendo DSi is waning after a spike around release. Never fear — we will continue our nonstop Nintendo DSi obsession coverage.

Action replay coming soon for Nintendo DSi

Rumor has it that an Action Replay card is finally in the works for the Nintendo DSi. No delivery estimate is available yet.

Sadly, the Nintendo DS version of the fabled “cheat enabler” does not work for DSi. In the meantime, look for hacks based on the Acekard 2i.

The one drawback: No Adobe Flash player

Our #1 question from readers is how to get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to work on the Nintendo DSi.

Unfortunately, at this point there isn’t a version of flash player that works with the DSi, and I haven’t found any workable homebrew solutions.

Rumor has it that Adobe is porting a version of Flash Player 10 for the ARM architecture for smartphones. That should work, or at least be hackable to work with the DSi.

Until then, you might want to look into online transcoding solutions. Let me know if you find one that works.

VOIP coming to the DSi

Skype representatives have confirmed that it is "technically possible" to port the client to the popular Nintendo DSi gaming platform. However, they won't say whether or not a DSi Skype client is currently in active development.

DSi hardware hacks: AceKard

Acekard 2i is a flash card adapter for the Nintendo DSi that lets you play NDS/GBA games without having to flash mod your machine with custom firmware or use a passme adapter device in order to use it.

The Acekard is the same size as an original DS Lite cartridge and can accept any MicroSD flash cards. These are available dirt cheap — often under $10 for a 4GB — so you can load up on games.
