Nintendo DS Downloads

This is my DS Downloads Page. It's basically a mirror of every DS flashcart firmware and software file that I can get my hands on.
Becuase a large majority of these cards come from Asia, the servers the files are hosted on are slow, unreadable and unupdated for most of the rest of the world. My server is fast, and it should stay up at least 95% of the time.
I also keep an archive of every older file, just in case anyone needs them and the developers' sites don't keep them.

I'm looking for more files! If you have any missing version of any firmware/loader/software, (or anything else you feel should be here), send me a message via the Contact Page and I'll get it added.

Please link to this page and not directly to files, if you can avoid it. File names may change at any time.
