Dsidl is a simple application that can download a file from a URL in a QR code on the Nintendo DSi.

User guide

Add a Wi-Fi network in System Settings under "Advanced Settings". (Due to compatibility issues in the dsiwifi library not all routers will work, WEP/open routers also likely don't work at all.)

Open dsidl and wait for it to load, if it gets stuck you can reload it while holding SELECT to view more detailed logging information.

Create a QR code for what you want to download and scan it with your DSi. The QR code must contain a URL or JSON script, if not either of those the text will simply be printed out.

Choose the directory to save to, edit the file name if needed, and your file will start downloading.

  • The file name is now printed while downloading.

  • Fixed the file browser not being sorted.
• Thanks to Merith-TK for suggesting many of the new additions and improving the Actions workflows.
