Attention! Stay Away From Free DS Downloads! 85% Of All Free DS Downloads Are Infected With Malicious Code and Adware!

Are you desperately searching for free ds downloads, ds roms, emulators, homebrew ds games and ds isos? If you are, this might be the most shocking review you’ll ever read.

It is a known fact that free game download sites are one of the main sources of viruses, adware, trojans and malicious code.

I know, that’s BAD NEWS! So without a doubt you are looking for quality, unlimited ds games downloads, roms, isos, emulators and homebrew games. Well if you are, I can ensure you that this might be the only review site you should ever trust on!

I have been downloading games for years and in the recent year the amount of infected files downloaded from free ds games downlaod sites has increased drastically. In fact 7 out of 10 games I downloaded were infected with malicious code.

Stay Away From Free DS Download Sites – I Have Warned You!

Just start a search on your favotite search engine for free ds downloads and you will be presented with tons of free ds downloads. If you are lucky you download one of the free ds games and it works perfectly. However, chances are even bigger that the download does not work at all, the ds game is unplayable or even worse, you infect your computer with adware, viruses or spyware.

However, in most cases webmasters cannot be blamed for uploading these free DS games. They are just uploading the files and are not the ones stuffing malicious code in it. You need to blame mean hackers! So be aware that you are putting your computer at high risk when downloading free ds games! Did your mother tell you that there is no free meal in the world. Well, she is right! Webmaster of free ds download sites do this in the spare time and do not get paid for it. They definitely can’t spend numerous hours checking each file.

I have reviewed 15 of the most popular Nintendo DS download sites online and the sad truth is: Most of them are craps or a scam. Why? Either games are infected with viruses, the download of the game did not start at all or the downloaded game did not work.

The good news is: I ended up with 2 DS download sites that are reliable, safe and offer unlimited DS downloads for the rest of your life. They also have a support team that is there to answer your questions and guide you through the process of downloading DS games and transferring them to your DS.

Both sites offer the following:

Small one time payment for unlimited lifetime access- No ridiculous monthly subscription or additional payment needed
Enormous games database – At Least 200,000 workable ds, dsi and ds lite games, roms, iso, emulators, movies and MP3s which can be played in your console once they are downloaded
24/7 support feature – 24/7 standby supporting you whenever you need help.
Lightning fast download speed – Spend only few minutes to half an hour to get your games downloaded.
Full Refund Policy- 100% 30 days refund policy without questions to ensure your satisfaction.

Overload Your Console

Ok! So who is the winner? It is Overload Your Console! I really like the outlook of this site, because it certainly looks professionally done, clean and promising.

So how about the service? Let’s get into the details, Overload Your Console has a considerable big database- Over 150,000 files which include Nintendo DS roms, games, movies, musics and softwares which are workable. And from what I have noticed so far, they keep updating their database frequently. New DS games are added all the time.

Winner: Overload Your Console

Another thing I have noticed is that download speed is lightning fast. So no need to spend hours downloading a single game! (It takes me in average 20 minutes to download a game)

I also tested customer support and got a reply in some hours. Pretty good!

Even a total internet newbie who knows nothing about downloads can get his games downloaded by just following the step-by-step tutorials created by these guys.

All in all, what makes their service so darn good is because all the ds games downloads are all compatible with ANY versions of Nintendo DS, Lite and Dsi.

What Do Other Customers Say About Overload Your Console?

The greatest thing about this unlimited DS download site that it offers only the best. I have used previous sites in the past but they had downloads a bit backdated and videos of low quality.

I am generally scared of downloading something from internet as there may be harmful virus or spyware but Overload Your Console was a good experience as I was able to download my favorite games so fast without any viruses. I not only downloaded the games but also my favorite Music.

Now, as I have said earlier, a good Nintendo DS download site should provide a 100% refund policy to its customers, and that’s exactly what Overload Your Console is doing – You can simply ask your money back within the first 30 days if you are not satisfied with their service!

Pocket Download Center

Second Winner: Pocket Download Center

I have to admit PocketDownloadCenter is almost as good as Overload Your Console. The only reasons why it is No.2 is the fact that I had to wait one day when contacting their support stuff. Well… may be it was just coincidence.

In addition their homepage does not look that nice, clean, and professional. But in the end, who cares what the homepage looks if the service provided is great?!

The price for lifetime access to PocketDownloadCenter is $34.95. So it is a little bit cheaper than Overload Your Console. I have to admit that $34.95 is an incredible value if you take into consideration that you will get unlimited DS games downloads and of course DSi games downloads for the rest of your life!

Their members area is easy to navigate and you can easily find the files you’d like to download. You can choose from over 250,000 Ds downloads and Dsi downloads (Nintendo DS roms, games, movies, musics and softwares )

What Do Other Members Say About PocketDownloadCenter?

I was amazed at the amount of games that Pocket Download Center had, I was able to download all of the Nintendo DS games I wanted at high download speeds.

All the games i missed out in the past i found them here, the download speed is incredible. On top of the amazing game list, i found that all of my favorite shows were here present also, as well as my favorite music and movies.

Another great thing is that PocketDownloadCenter updates their database extremely often and I personally experienced that the very latest DS games and Dsi games were available for download within 2 days after release.

Of course PocketDownloadCenter comes with a 100% 30-Day money back guarantee.

Peppa Pig 2 DS

Peppa Pig 2 Fun & Games Nintendo DS Review

Peppa Pig 2 is a sequel to the famous game of Peppa Pig: The Game. This is an attractive and user interactive game which allows you to explore the fun world of Peppa who is a pig. It comes with 10 in built mini games which allow our kids to have great fun with it. It also has an additional mini game of “dressing up”. I personally recommend this game for kids from 3 to 7 years. It will be a perfect way of keeping your kid seated in a room for some time without destroying or breaking anything. The mini games are very easy to play and your kid will get around to playing it very soon.

<< Download Peppa Pig 2 DS >>

The ten mini games that are available on it are as follows:

• Daddy Pig’s Bubbles: There are floating bubbles blown by Peppa pig, all you have to do is touch the bubbles and they will burst. Burst as many bubbles as you can. I found it to be the simplest game among all ten.

• George’s Rocket: I like adventure games even if it is for my kid, this one allows you to steer a rocket belonging to George and travel through space and go on an adventurous journey.

• Cleaning Bicycles: Daddy pig Peppa and kid pig George are riding the bicycle in the mud due to which they are all dirty. In this game you have to clean the bicycles to help Mummy pig. The tools provided are sponge and hose. Here also you can pop soap bubbles by touching them. I found it really interesting.

• Apple Picking: In this game George and Peppa are collecting apples for Mummy pig so that she can make a delicious apple pie. In it you have to throw the apples as high as possible. I liked this one too because my kid found it really sweet.

• Watering Flowers: I found this game really beautiful, in it you have to seed plants and water them with the provided water can and then you can see pretty flowers grow.

• Duck Pond: In this game you have feed the ducks of the pond by throwing them bread. Make sure you throw the bread in a manner so that it doesn’t get wasted. Also George is scaring the ducks as he is getting bored; you have to feed him bread too to stop him scaring the ducks.

• Making Pictures: I found this game to be the most creative of all. In it George and Peppa are drawing, your kid can slide and drop different shapes and sizes and draw beautiful pictures and fill them with vibrant colors.

• Decorating cupcakes: Another creative game for our kids. It helps George and daddy to make a cake for Mummy. You can sprinkle different shapes on the cake, use different designs and colors.

• Birthday cake: ok now this one was my favorite, although it is meant for kids but blowing candles of Rebecca the rabbit by blowing into the microphone is real fun.

• Bursting balloons: The house is full with balloons and Peppa and George decide to play hide and seek beneath them. Burst the balloons by touching them so that you can find them.

Peppa Pig 2 is a nice and fun game, however, there are better DS games out there. Nevertheless it is definitely entertianing for a while.

Ghost Trick Phantom Detective DS Review

Download Phantom Detective DS

Forget what you know about Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick is fresh, engrossing and logical. Only a few video games I know of open like Ghost Trick: It cannot get more straightforward: We see the protagonist Sissel – lying face down and motionless in a dingy junkyard, his arse raised Johnny Sasaki style like an antenna to the heavens. The evening is still early and he has been shot.

>> Download Ghost Trick Phantom Detective DS>>

The story which is in a typical Shu Takami fashion, no doubt about that, begins with an open-ended mystery that leaves you asking a number of questions. As the game proceeds, few questions are answered and even more come up in the early stages, but the pacing of the mystery is amazing; with every chapter that you complete, you’ll be left scratching your head or picking your jaw up off the floor. Thi m akes you keep playing, because you want to get answers to your questions.

Armed with the powers of the dead, he must solve the mystery behind his murder and the characters surrounding it, including a young woman named Lynne, the imprisoned Detective Jowd—who she is trying to save from execution, a breakdancing Inspector Cabanela and a score of strange assassins out to kill everyone involved. If that’s not a lot to take on when you’ve just been killed, there’s also an overlaying mystery involving the Special Detective Agency responsible for investigating Sissel’s death and the country’s national security defense at stake.

The best reason to play Ghost Trick is for the amazing animation. The 2D sprites move more fluidly than even some cartoons and it’s a joy to simply watch characters dance around onscreen. It’s probably the most impressive animation I’ve ever seen in a video game.

This game is top notch and I have to mention that the Animation is almost perfect. I have to emphasize this once again. It makes the characters very charismatic and the story even more believable. There is a good balance of difficulty. With many puzzles they throw at you small hints, not obvious enough to spoil the fun and obvious enough to push your thinking-machine. The humor also surprised me in this game, it made me smile and giggle. And believe me, it is not easy ot make me giggle. I recommend this game to anyone who like puzzle games and/or liked the Phoenix Wright serie. Yes it’s a 10 point, 9 wouldn’t be enough. You can now download Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Just go to my DS Downloads Review site and learn about the best DS downloads membership sites online. If you have never heard about DS downloads online before, here is a short introduction: by paying a small one time fee you may download as many games as you want (and I am sure you want to download many). There are no additional fees ever. I love DS downloads

Sonic Colors Review

Dan — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 11:01:25 +0000

Sonic Colors DS is the best Sonic game released this year. Easily!

I have to be honest, I wasn’t keen on playing Sonic Colors DS, since I was really disappointed with Sonic Rush and its sequel, but I bought up anyway, since I was amazed by the NintendoWii version.
So I played it for a while, and all I can say is, “YES, Sonic is back”.!

>> Download Sonic Colors DS >>

The game play is so fluid and fast, yet I did not experience any lag while playing, unlike Sonic Rush. Also the music is great. It definitely brings back feelings of the old Genesis games. However, it is still staying new and fresh. S

After more than a decade of mediocre or downright bad Sonic games, 2010 is proving to be the turning point for Sega’s little blue hedgehog. Sonic 4 started the trend, and Sonic Colors continues it, giving portable players one of Sonic’s best adventures yet.

Sonic Colors Plot

An extraordinary amusement park has been seen orbiting around the home planet of Sonic the Hedgehog, and rumors are spreading that an alien race of Wisps, who have a unique colorful energy, are being held captive there by the evil Dr. Eggman. Soon after arriving at the amusement park, Sonic discovers he is able to use these mysterious alien forces to help the Wisps escape!

As mentioned before, Sonic Colors DS plays and looks a lot like the classic Genesis games. It’s a fast, 2D platformer where you blaze through levels collecting rings and other items in a mad dash to reach the end. Sonic Colors follows a formula, but it never feels repetitive thanks to wonderfully inventive level design. You’re constantly encountering new, often one-time-only mechanics.

Sonic Colors Level Design

Well, the level design is indeed a bit chaotic and to make it even more chaotic, Sonic Colors adds in special powers. But do not get me wrong, this is positvie and a lot of fun. Sonic “earns” new colors for every world he unlocks. He has to save poor little aliens called “Wisps” from Dr. Eggman.
Every Wisp color gives Sonic a new power. E.g. he can transform into a rocket or a laser.

Levels are designed with these powers in mind, this makes the game really fast as you dicover the world in different forms because of the transformations.
This leads to dramatic changes of pace, and adds a lot of replayability, as players can take newly unlocked powers into older acts to find previously inaccessible areas. I have to admit, that’s pretty cool.

The game’s special Stages are well worth checking out. By using the touch screen, these levels hark back to Sonic 2‘s classic bonus stages, as you drag Sonic around a tubular track in order to collect colored orbs. It’s pretty simple, but that doesn’t stop it being fun, and it also features some amazing background music.

You should note that Sonic Colors can be completed without having to make use of most of the Wisps. Neverthelss the game is much more fun, and you can score a lot more points (the points are needed, because the game’s post-level grading system is horribly strict!). The levels built around the Yellow Wisp’s drill power are especially great, and many of the gimmicks and routes in each stage treat the Wisps as a far more integrated part of the game, unlike the Wii version where they appear tossed in as a throwaway gimmick.

Sonic Colors Graphics

Graphically the game’s greatest asset is its pace, which is absolutely unrelenting: there’s never a trace of slowdown in the regular stages, and the 3D bosses hog the whole screen to lend a palpable trace of menace. The rainbow effect that accompanies the boost is pleasing, and the transformations all look the part,

Sonic Colors Has More To Offer

Sonic Colors has more to offer once you get bored with the standard acts and boss battles. You will find bjective based challenge levels, but you can also play collect-a-thon missions or partake in competitive multiplayer mode. While the special missions and challenge levels are fun interruptions to the main game, Sonic Colors multiplayer is also surprisingly fun, as you and a friend compete to see who can reach the end of a level faster.
The multi-card multiplayer modes for two players face off against each other and a CPU race mode is included for solo players, but this predictably fails to captivate in the same way as racing a human opponent. Unlike its Wii counterpart, there’s no cooperative mode here, just flat-out racing, which is a little disappointing..

A few of Sonic’s console abilities are ported over to this game, with mixed results. The homing attack e.g. returns. Homing attacks always hit their mark, and there’s no lag or risk of causing an accidental death by daring the follow the game’s directions. The power to jump from wall to wall is also quite good, albeit a little sluggish, but pressing the R button to slide through narrow gaps could have done with being scrapped.

Cons

Mainly Sonic Colors is a great game, however, I had some problems with the difficulty. At several points players can expect to encounter spots where they’ll be killed outright if they don’t to the job perfectly. I have to admint, this is frustrating. Why? Because by losing your limited number of lives you’ll have to start a level over at the very beginning.

Conclusion

Sonic Colours is truly a highlight of recent DS releases, and a much-demanded return of Sonic. The quick-fire nature means it’s perfect for its hand-held platform. If you’re only going to pick up one Sonic title this year, Sonic Colours DS is definitely your best bet.

Sonic Colors is undoubtedly the best Sonic game for DS that I have ever played. If you’ve never been into Sonic, then Colors certainly won’t change your mind, and the difficulty spikes and poor continue system will undoubtedly fluster many, but the ride is worth it. If you asked me one year ago I would have told you that Sonic game would never be good again, however, I changed my mind. I’m ready to believe again. Welcome back, Sonic! I really, really missed you. You can now download Sonic Colors at Pocket Download Center. Pcokt Download Center is a DS game membership site which will give you access to unlimite DS game downloads (of course you will also get Sonic Colors) for a low onetime payment. You can read my full review at DS Download Sites. All you will need is a R4 DS card. Some of you might wonder if there is nto a way to download Sonic Colors for free. You should be really careful, because most free DS game downloads are infected with viruses. You should read my article on Free DS Downloads.

DS Wifi Setup

Dan — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:49:36 +0000

Nintendo DS Wi-fi function is great and it is so much fun to play games in multiplayer mode online. However, many non techy DS gamers are oftentimes facing problems. They cannot get the Wi-fi connection to work.

Setup Wifi Ds Connection for the first time

There are some basic things you should know: The Nintendo DS can connect to the following type of access points:

(a) Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (sold separately)

(b) AOSS Compatible device

How To Setup Wi-Fi On DS

If you are using Wi-Fi USB Connector, select the blue bar “Connect to your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector”. And the Nintendo DS will provide you with the Instructions. If you are still experiencing problems, read on:

Wi-Fi USB Connector Problems
Make sure the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector has installed correctly. The installation CD must be run from an account that has Admin privileges. On Microsoft Vista, this may mean right-clicking the CD and manually selecting “Run as Administrator”. If you suspect your connector may have installed improperly, uninstall and reinstall the Connector. Delete the Connector in Windows’ Device Manager list, run the “DEVREMOV” program on the installation CD, and remove all Nintendo Wi-Fi software in the Add/Remove Programs menu. Remove the installation CD and turn your computer off before removing the Connector. You can now try a fresh installation.

Wireless Router, AOSS Compatible Router or in a Hotspot with Wireless signal

If you are using a Wireless Router, AOSS Compatible Router or in a Hotspot with Wireless signal choose one of the Empty Connections. It will redirect you to the setup menu.

Search for an Access Point: Automatically search for any compatible wireless signal available. (Recommended option)

AOSS compatible router: If you’re using an AOSS device, choose this option. The Nintendo DS will provide you with the Instructions on how to setup your connection. The next steps in this guide are for regular Wireless Routers or Hotspots, and are not required for your setup.

Manual Setup: If you’re knowledgeable about the settings of your wireless signal, Choose “Manual Setup” to manually set the IP Address, Subnet Masket, Gateway, and the Primary DNS. This is the final step for Manual Setup, the next steps are not required.

Now you should be able to see your wireless network (or perhaps more than one). The easiest to work with is an open network, which is indicated as a blue padlock that’s open. There are also red padlocks (if your system uses WEP protection) and grey padlocks (which are bad news: the Nintendo DS can’t work with the security system on that particular unit, probably WPA security).

If you have an open network, just click “OK” and it should work just fine! If it’s a red padlock, it’ll prompt you for a password: you’ll need to know the password of the wireless access point you’re using to get past that. If it’s grey, well, try finding an open network somewhere else you can use. If the wireless signal is Password Protected, It will ask you for the SSID. The SSID can be found in the Control Panel of your router, or refer to the manual of your router.

And something else that is important: It is Recommended to keep all the settings to “Auto-obtain”.

In case you are still experiencing problems setting up Wi-fi for DS it is time for troubleshooting:

You will have to find out at what point your connection is failing.

* Have you tried to connect to your wireless router’s access point yet?
* Have you run a connection test with your Nintendo DS and received a “Connection Successful” message?

* No – If you have not received this message yet, then it appears you have not been able to successfully connect to your wireless router’s access point.
* Yes – If you have successfully run the “Test Connection” process, but are having difficulties playing online, please read the information below :

Unable to connect, or stay connected, to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
If you are unable to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection after successfully connecting to your access point (this includes error messages in the 50000-59999 range) our experience shows that problems encountered at this point are likely caused by your wireless router’s built-in firewall protection. Firewalls regulate traffic coming into, and going out from, your home network. They also control which “ports” on your networked devices are allowed to send and receive traffic. These factors can interfere with a successful or sustained connection with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Please click here to read more about firewalls, as well as possible solutions.

Unable to connect with other players:
Make sure you are correctly attempting to connect with other players. If you are able to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but are still unable to connect with other players (including receiving error messages in the 80000-89999 range), experience shows that problems encountered at this point are likely caused by a firewall. Firewalls regulate traffic coming into, and going out from, your home network. They also control which “ports” on your networked devices are allowed to send and receive traffic, and they can interfere with certain types of data packets necessary for “Friend” play. The firewall compatibility problem may be occuring on your end, or on the player(s) you are attempting to connect to.
If your firewall is causing the trouble make sure ports 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920, 80, and 443 have all TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic enabled. All UDP (User Datagram Protocol) traffic must be allowed for Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector to work. (You can run Windows’ Network Test Tool to check whether UDP is functioning correctly.)

Once your Wi-Fi connection is up and running it is time to download some really cool DS multiplayer games. I hihgly recommend joining a Nintendo DS membership site which will give you access to unlimited Nintendo DS games downloads. You definitely should read my Pocketdownload Center Review, which is in my eyes the best Nintendo DS downloads sites.You may download as many DS games as you can handle for the rest of your life for one low onetime fee.

Saving The Firmware Files For the R4DS:

Saving and loading files to the R4DS card is fast and easy. You should copy all files in the zip folder you just downloaded to the root of your SD card.
In case there are folders, be advised that these need to be copied over as well. Ok, once you are done with this step you should go ahead and put some games, Mp3 files, or even ebooks you’d like to read onto the micro SD card. In this way you can test everything out as soon as you plug your R4DS card into your DS.

Well, if you are done copying files to your micro SD card, take your card out from your USB reader and plug it into the R4DS Card.

Depending on how you have your DS set up, it may automatically show Loading on your screen for 1-2 seconds and then bring up the R4DS Card menu. If “loading” is not displayed on your Nintendo DS Screen, then you may not have put all of the firmware files on your microSD card. If this is the case, go right back to step one, and start all over again. There is no need ot worry…. just make sure you follow the steps outlined above carefully.

Buy R4 DS

There are numerous websites online where you can buy R4 DS cards. The downside is that there are many sites that sell fake or clone cards, because they are sold at very low prices, but are not really the R4 DS Card. Yes, you can get them cheaply, but it is a fact that in the case of the R4DS, you get what you pay for. Since the card has become as popular as it has, many companies have made their own “r4ds” versions. These ar enot the original R4 DS cards and the biggest problems is compatibility. About 40% of the games and applications out there won’t work on these fake R4Ds cards, which means you will be in possession of a card that will work – but not quite how it should.
