Topic: DSi FAQ

Having recently upgraded to a DSi, i thought I might make this thread so that we can discuss the platform and any issues we might have with it as a community. (do we have this already?)

So, as the starting question, If I put in an SD card with pictures I've taken on other cameras, is there a way to view it on the DSi?

no, I've tried it and it didn't work

I tried editing the EXIF data on some images to match pictures I'd taken on the DSi, and it didn't work. It's almost like there's some internal table on the DSi that tells it exactly which pictures were taken on it, even when the pictures from other cameras had been edited down to DSi size/quality/dpi before the EXIF data was altered and were renamed to take the place of images taken by the DSi that had been removed from the SD card via computer.

I hope they make an update to allow this though...it would be awesome...

I was wondering, can the Wii Photo Channel support pictures taken on the DSi?

@DarkLink I've heard (albeit from unconfirmed sources) that there will be a DSi app for this in the future, or vice versa.

@Dark Link: yes, it can. in fact, it also opened the photos with the edited EXIF data i'd saved to that card with no problem, lol. :3

@theblackdragon Seriously? Awesome!! I'm going to try it out right now.
EDIT: Thank you! Thank you!

@Odnetnin: lol, np... eager to see your DSi pics on the big(ger) screen? :3

I guess...it's just awesome.

@odnetnin but pixely lolz!!!!!!!!

Is there an easy way to turn Wi-Fi on the DSi on and off? Like "Press L+R+Y"??

I wish. As far as I know, no. So its always on and draining life, or always off and you need to go back to the menu if you want to go online in a game.

My Dsi has never been in red power andi barely ever charge it lol

Yep. And that is the one thing that I hate about the DSi.

Really? I think it takes ~30-60 seconds. That's something that I really hate...
I'd like a simple button "Wi-Fi on/off", but since that's not possible anymore, I'd prefer it if they (--> Nintendo) gave us a combination to put Wi-Fi on and off anytime...

how much of a strain on the battery's is it having wi-fi on anyways? is it like a 50% decrease or how much are we talking about here? mine has always been on and i have noticed my battery life isn't the best..

Not really 5 seconds. It doesn't really take that long, but it's still annoying. You have to first save your game, then go to the menu etc...

I've read somewhere that it doesn't really make a difference for battery life whether you have wireless on or off. I haven't tested it myself though.
