Dumping Game Cards ​

This section is for dumping Game Cards using GodMode9i so they can be played on emulators, flashcards, or your SD card via nds-bootstrap.

Requirements ​

  • The Game Card of the title you would like to dump
  • Your Nintendo DSi console with Unlaunch installed

Instructions ​

Section I - SD card setup ​

  1. Download the latest release of GodMode9i
  2. Extract GodMode9i.nds from the GodMode9i archive and place it anywhere on your SD card

Section II - Nintendo DSi instructions ​

  2. Ensure the Game Card is inserted into the console
  3. Select the "NDS GAMECARD" option in GodMode9i
  4. Select what you want to dump
    • The "Trimmed" options for the ROM will dump a smaller file that can save SD card space, however they won't work for most patches such as ROM hacks
