subject: How To Watch Movies On R4 Card [print this page] By using an R4 memory card, you are allowed to add a whole new realm of functionality to your Nintendo DS. However, without proper converters, you cannot do much with your R4 card except store data. It is easy to not only store movies onto your R4 card but to also convert them and watch them on your Nintendo DS. The whole process, depending on the movie file's size, should only take a few minutes.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
R4 memory card
Video converter
Nintendo DS
Step 1
Convert your movie file into a DPG file. You will need a video converter for this. There are many freeware converters, such as SUPER, which are easy to download and use. There is also DVDFab, which is not freeware, but has a 30-day trial and can convert whole DVDs into DPG files.
Step 2
Plug in your R4 cards, and double-click it to access it.
Step 3
Go into "System" and then "Movies." If a "Movies" folder is not present, create one by right-clicking and selecting "New Folder." Click and drop the movie into this folder, then disconnect the R4 card.
If you want to get more organized, you can even create other folders in "Movies" such as "Comedy" or "Action."
Step 4
Input the R4 card into your Nintendo DS and turn your Nintendo DS on.
Step 5
Go into the "Multimedia" folder. From there, select "Movies." Select the movie you want to watch from the list of your DPG files.
Step 6
Press the "A" button, or tap it with your Stylus to confirm your selection. The movie will begin playing on the top screen of your Nintendo DS.
