You want to play the newest, hottest DS game, but you don’t have $35 to go down to Target and buy it, so what do you do? Well, if you’re going to go the route of DS game downloads you really want, you should know the risks involved:

Several Person-to-person sites (such as LimeWire, BitTorrent, etc.) can only get revenues to run by trusting companies that deal with unethical practices such as putting spyware on your computer, pop-up ads that annoy people (adware), programs that can hurt your computer (malware) and another nasty threat… viruses. You don’t know the other computer, and what could they have? Where have they been clicking and surfing? It’s best not to use a P2P site when looking for Nintendo DS downloads

Which Nintendo DS download website can you trust for fast download speeds? Why settle for slow downloads when you have a high speed internet connection? Visit somewhere you can be certain of lightning speeds for every download. While others remain delayed, you could already be playing.

Now if a site requires a membership, they will take better care of their downloaders. They know what their customers want… fast, virus and spyware-free games delivered to their DS on demand. Usually these sites require a membership and sites like these have an expansive collection of ROMs available for download. They have plenty of new titles and more are being added frequently, so if you have a new DS game you’ve been wanting to try, then sites like this probably have it.

It’s not difficult to play a DS game once you’ve downloaded it to your computer. You need to buy a Secure Digital flash (SD Card) card – fortunately they are quite inexpensive, and a couple Gigabytes can be found for around five dollars if you look around. Simply transfer the software from the computer to the SD card and then transfer it to your Nintendo DS using an R4 card connected to the SD card. For between $50 and $100, you can download countless games to your DS.

Now you know all you need to know to be able to download DS games. The next time you’re playing Sonic the Hedgehog you can be confident that your downloads are even faster than Sonic himself.
