The Nintendo DSi (XL) has been an interesting version of the Nintendo DS Hardware to get acquainted with over the past year. Its inclusion of an SD card slot has also enabled it to run games and apps directly from the system without the use of a dedicated flash cart! In this video, I will take you through the process of hacking your Nintendo DSi (XL) and installing the Twilight Menu so you can get the most out of your system as possible.
