    I am very new to this and was wondering why i cannot get the games to work on the dsi. I downloaded a couple of them, i extracted them (they are now in nds format) and put them on a 4 gig sdhc card. i go to data management on the dsi and i cannot see the games. am i missing anything else?

    to put it simply, a flashcart is a hardware device that goes in the game slot on the DSi and allows you to play rom files from a microsd card.
