How to Insert a Game Card Into a Nintendo DS Lite

Insert a game card into a Nintendo DS Lite and get your game on. The game cards are small, even smaller than the Game Boy Advance packs, and are inserted into the machine from the back through SLOT-1. Pick up a game card and your Nintendo DS Lite and let the gaming begin.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Game card
• Nintendo DS Lite

1. Turn off the power to the Nintendo DS Lite. The power button is on the right-hand side of the unit.
2. Pick up the game card that you want to put in the DS Lite. Turn it so that the label side is facing down. Insert the game card into the DS game card slot. This is labeled “SLOT-1” and is found on the back edge of the unit.
3. Push gently on the DS game card until it clicks.
4. Open the screen of the Nintendo DS Lite and turn on the power. Wait for the “Touch the Touch Screen to Continue” message, and then tap the touch screen with the stylus. If you don’t have a stylus, you can push the “A” button.
5. Wait for the game to load if you have the Nintendo DS Lite’s Automatic Start-Up feature enabled. Otherwise, you will have to manually start the game.
6. Finished playing? Gently press on the exposed edge of the DS game card to release it from the Nintendo DS Lite.

Tips & Warnings

• You can set your Nintendo DS Lite to automatically start playing games when they are inserted into the unit. Follow the icons on the Main Menu and Options screens.
• If you have DS game cards and Game Boy Advance packs in the machine at the same time, the DS Lite will play the DS game unless the unit is set for Manual Start-Up. You can also remove the DS game card to get the Game Boy Advance game to play.
• Do not force DS game cards into the Nintendo DS Lite. If you are having problems inserting the card, make sure you are putting the game card straight into the unit and not at an angle.
