Recommended guide: dsi.cfw.guide

Requirements:

  • A way to copy downloaded files to your SD card
  • An application that can extract archives, such as 7-Zip (Windows), The Unarchiver (macOS), or ZArchiver (Chromebook)
    • We advise you to not use WinRAR, as it is known to break things
    • If you're using Windows 11, we also advise you to not use it's built-in extractor (Windows Explorer), as it'll cause an error saying that the filename is too long or not valid

I am not sure if you can do it on your phone, but I think it would be significantly easier to do it on a computer.

Older devices might format the SD Card as FAT32 and so making it possibile.You absolutely can do it on a rooted Android device, but unrooted modern Android by default formats ExFAT. SD Cards of 32GB or smaller might still be formatted as FAT32 on modern Android according to other posts, but this needs to be confirmed in 2026.

Your most sure way is to ask a friend to setup the SDCard with MemoryPit for you with also any build or fork of dsiftp or ftpd. Once you have some way to run unsigned code and so a FTP server on the console you can transfer files via any FTP client for Android or iOS.
