(Tutorial) Getting different region Flipnotes on different region DSi

Different Region Flipnotes for your DSi Region​

​

Ok, i got very tired of looking through the internet just to keep hearing that you need 2 DSi consoles of different regions to do that, well like a lot of people we might not have the money to do something like that, well this guide is to help you get those pesky flipnotes from different regions now, enjoy

what you need
1. computer (with internet access of course)
2. SD card reader
3. Hatena account (not really needed, just in case you want to mark favs)
4. DSi that is different region than what the flipnotes are (ie ~ US DSi & JPN Flipnotes)

and we will be seeing alot of this link in the next few pieces, we are using this link as an example
http://flipnote.hatena.com/1A96BE00CE309313@DSi/movie/309313_0ADCDABEE755F_006
(Japanese Flipnote Link)

now, you are saying how do we download different region Flipnotes when the DSi is region locked, well its simple with this link below, we will be working with a lot:

Code:

(http://image.ugomemo.hatena.ne.jp/ppm//.ppm)
above this, you want to copy & paste it for later

now as mentioned above this flipnote link here is a japanese flipnote i took a liking too, but i cannot download it because of the region of my DSi, well if you see the numbers before the @DSi, you want to copy that into the first part of the broken link, like so:

unfinished & broken still
http://image.ugomemo.hatena.ne.jp/ppm/1A96BE00CE309313/.ppm

but we are not finished, that link is still broken though, you are probably thinking get to the point ^__^
for the second part, the line of numbers behind the (movie/) is the last set of numbers there to copy, but sometimes it will have a special character like a question mark or something else there, DO NOT COPY THAT

so we got the second part we need, now go ahead and fill out the link, like so:

Final Link:
http://image.ugomemo.hatena.ne.jp/ppm/1A96BE00CE309313/309313_0ADCDABEE755F_006.ppm

now save that file with the numbers and stuff, DO NOT CHANGE THE SAVE NAME, it will not work on the DSi if you do that

ok, once that is done, you go into the private apps folder from the DSi and you should be able locate the flipnote folder by the name of the files should match up with the one you downloaded, then when you put it in there, go ahead and pop it into the DSi and there you go, a japanese flipnote on a US or EU DSi

{Update}
here is some photos of my file structure for my DSi, this a US region setup:

{Second Step}


{Final Step} ~ Please take note on this photo please, could save you a headache



Edit For Update
For Topic Giggles: there is only 2 working links on this page, there is two broken links here also, only two that should work, one should bring you to the hatena website and shows you a flipnote and the other will download a .ppm file

as pointed out by and admin, the other 2 broken links will send you to a 404 forbidden page

the links that is bold & italic is the non-working links, but provided you read the tutorial, you should not run into the broken pages

any questions & comments i will happily answer for this as it took me a little while to figure it out

{small edit: i had to fix the final link, it ended up broken}

 

Good tutorial.
Just a few things:

- Better grammer. Use captial letters and those sorts of things.
- Bold text. Can be handy for things like 'What you will need:'
- Pictures. People like to see pictures of what is actually happening. A video is always appreciated.

So yeah, just a few points that will make your tutorial better.
Which reminds me, I need to fix mine...

 

lmao, okay Xenirina I'll try to get a few things better here, it was a makeshift tut for the basics but i will make it sparkle

 

Good work. It looks a lot better.
