<h1>How to run TADs on a retail DSi</h1>
|
|
|
|
TADs are a format used to install DSiWare titles onto Nintendo DSi development units (see: <a href="/dsidev/twlnmenu.html">TwlNmenu</a>). The format is nearly identical to the WAD on Wii. Sadly nearly all TADs are made exclusively for developers and won't install on normal consoles...

<br><br>
|
|
<b><span style="color:green;">Thankfully we have decryption tools! Just use these to turn your TADs into normal DSi ROMs (<code>.nds</code>, <code>.srl</code>, <code>.dsi</code>).</span></b>
