NDS:Flash Cards

Flashcards are small devices consisting of flash memory that enable the use of unlicensed software (i.e., homebrew) or game ROMs. The cartridge circumvents the security measures and opens up the console to take advantage of the hardware.

For identifying a flashcard visually, see the Flashcard Identification page.
