Load up your SD card
Pick your card below. Retro handhelds get the best English walkthrough saved as a .txt next to each ROM. TWiLight Menu++ cards — DS flashcarts like the R4, modded DSi, modded 3DS/2DS — get every walkthrough as an in-game manual: pause the game, read the guide, resume. Everything happens in your browser, nothing is uploaded; guides come straight from the GameFAQs text archive on archive.org.
