DSi Internet Browsing-HELP!!!
Flyboy8 has changed his name to Flyboy9 and to celebrate, he bought a slightly used DSi, from a local gaming store, for ninety-five pounds. The trouble I am having, is trying to download the browser from the DSi shop. I have looked at a few demonstration videos on Youtube, but they all say that there should be a "WEB" icon on the screen, but his console doesn't show this. Does anybody have any ideas?

i think what has happened is that the shop has returned the DSi to factory condition prior to re-sell .this would mean that you would need to download the browser and other apps from the DSi shop
To get the browser, click on DSi Shop> Start Shopping>DSi Ware>Free>Internet Browser
assuming your DSi is connected ok

Re: DSi Internet Browsing-HELP!!!
Excellent. Thanks Martyh. I am impressed, I particularly like the dual screen aspect. I was expecting something like a low grade smart phone experience. But it is faster than I expected. It does have its limitations though. But for the uses he will it to I think it is quite adequate.

You can get an R4i for the DSI which i a memory card with software on it which allows u to download films and music
wat i use it for is to download games (roms) from sites like homebrew, its very good

good ,got it sorted then ? it was the main complaint with the earlier DSi's that the browser wasn't part of the firmware in later versions it is already there and doesn't need to be downloaded
tell Flyboy 9 to enjoy

Re: DSi Internet Browsing-HELP!!!

I am very wary of setting wrong examples to my children. Is this card legal to use?

It depends what your using the card for.
They can be used for illegal purposes, a bit like a P2P app can be used for illegal purposes. Just like the P2P app though there`s also plenty legitimate reasons for using them.

Okay, to be more specific, is it legal to use it to download games for the DSi, from Nintendo?

An R4 adapter is an adapter for the nintendo DS. It is a nintendo ds cartridge that holds a micro sd card. The point of it is to play downloaded games that you put on the micro SD card. Through this you can also watch movies and listen to music but the main point of it is to play downloaded games!
perfectly legal as long as the game/video/music is not pirated and downloaded legally

Re: DSi Internet Browsing-HELP!!!
I kind of understand, but I have been hearing conflicting opinions. Some say that the card can be used to download games for free, that would normally have to be paid for, is this true and if so is that legal?

basically you can go to some sites The Pirate bay is one example and download a pirate copy of a game to your pc then transfer to the sd card and using the r4 adapter plug into the nintendo =ILEGAL not because the r4 is illegal but the content is you could just as easily use the sd card and r4 adapter to backup legally bought games from nintendo onto your pc
you can transfer photos or legitimate games/photos/films ect onto the sd card and again using the r4 adapter in the same manner plug into the nintendo and view =LEGAL
