Nintendo DS/DS Lite Memory Expansion Pak Overview

Applies to:  Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite


The Nintendo DS Browser must be used with a Memory Expansion Pak which is inserted into the Game Boy Advance game pak slot of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite. The Memory Expansion Pak is an accessory, included with the Nintendo DS Browser, which expands the memory of the Nintendo DS Browser software.

What to do

There are two versions of the Nintendo DS Browser, one designed for the original Nintendo, and the other for the Nintendo DS Lite:

(made of solid gray plastic)

The version of the Nintendo DS Browser designed for the original Nintendo DS is only available through Nintendo's Online Store.

This version will work with the Nintendo DS Lite. If you load a Nintendo DS Memory Expansion Pak into the Nintendo DS Lite, it will protrude from the system. This is normal. Do not try to force it in further.

Nintendo DS Lite Version

This version is available at retail stores, and is the only version sold at retail. The Nintendo DS Lite version does not work with the original Nintendo DS.
