This connectivity improvement has come at a cost though, as while the DSi gets an SD card reader it ends up losing the GBA slot and all the backward-compatibility tied to it. That’s probably why Nintendo has opted to include a SD card reader on the DSi too, figuring that making gamers carry around a bundle of SD cards with their game carts is probably cheaper than actually including a decent amount of storage.

You can reverse them, speed them up, alter pitch and all the usual jazz.Ĭramming all of your pictures and audio files onto just 256MB of internal flash memory could prove a tad problematic after a while though, especially considering the other stuff you can download to the DSi (we’ll get to that).
NINTENDO DSI XL HOMEBREW SD CARD SOFTWARE
Like the camera, the microphone ties into some editing software which lets you take your audio clips (which can’t be more than a minute or so in length) and fiddle with them. Perhaps thankfully given the low image quality, the cameras can’t be used to record video either, despite the fact that the DSi makes more use of the built-in microphone. Don’t get any ideas about using the DSi camera to get photos of people unwittingly though – the handheld gives off a loud shutter click with each snap. Nintendo has gone beyond the call of duty here though, namely by adding in some remarkably solid face recognition technology that picks faces out of crowds and automatically adds certain effects to them. That the DSi would let you scrawl and add cartoon speech bubbles to photos was so predictable that even Shadow, the rabbit I had as a child who escaped from his hutch and ran away when my family was on holiday in Spain in 1992, was able to see it coming.Īn example of some of the filters available on the Nintendo DSi The camera software manages to balance much of this out though by merit of plentiful filters and quick-edit features. The photo quality is comparable to using a cameraphone in a snowstorm, while it's also on fire. There’s two of them, one on the inside hinge and another on the lid, but both of them are only 0.3 mega-pixel, which means that even at the 640x480 resolution all the images are saved at they still look dire. The cameras are, it has to be said, crap though.
Note that we said ‘fun’, not ‘useful’ or ‘consistently entertaining’ though – that’ll be important later. SoftwareFar more interesting than any of this though is the addition of two cameras to the DSi Lite, both of which tie into some rather fun little software that’s included in the DSi firmware.
