Connecting to Sudomemo is simple and easy. All that’s needed is one setting change.

⚠ IMPORTANT: Resetting (formatting) your console or uninstalling Flipnote Studio will cause you to permanently lose access to your Sudomemo account (and possibly Flipnote Studio)! Please understand that this is a limitation that we cannot fix.

ℹ INFO: If you have not read and agreed to the DSi Network Services Agreement, you will need to do so before continuing. Set up your Wi-Fi normally on either Connection 4, 5, or 6 then navigate to System Settings > Internet > User Agreement and read and agree to the terms.

NOTE: This guide is for using Sudomemo on the Nintendo DSi. If you don’t have a DSi, or want to use Sudomemo on your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS, follow this guide:
