How to Use the Flipnote Organizer

Loading Flipnotes

Loading Flipnotes is as simple as clicking the dashed selector box and choosing the Flipnote folder on your SD card. You can find your Flipnote folder at sdroot:/private/ds/app/4B4755xx.

General Usage

Clicking on a Flipnote’s thumbnail will open the Flipnote Player. Holding down on the player will allow you to drag it around.

You can change folders by clicking the leftmost button of the filesystem panel and choosing a folder from the drop-down list.

To search, click the button next to the folder selector button. Pressing the funnel icon inside the search box will show or hide filters.

You can see more information about a Flipnote by holding down the shift key or using the Digital Shift.

Clicking the hamburger button (also known as the three lines) will show quick settings. To see all of the available settings, press the “View All Settings” button.

You can play your Flipnotes in a random, non-repeating order with shuffle mode! Just click on the shuffle button to start, and click it again to stop shuffle mode. To skip to the next Flipnote without finishing the current one, click the “Skip” button.

Sorting

⚠ IMPORTANT: Your Flipnote sorting files (dirmemo2.lst) will not be updated until you replace the dirmemo2.lst in its respective folder on your SD Card with the updated dirmemo2.lst generated by the Organizer.

Pressing the E key on a keyboard, or START on a connected controller will enable sorting mode.

You can select a Flipnote with the WASD keys, arrow keys, joystick, or D-Pad.

To pick up or drop a Flipnote, press the Q key, space bar, or the A button or X (Playstation) button on controllers. To drag Flipnotes, use the WASD keys, arrow keys, joystick, or D-Pad.
To update the sort order of your Flipnotes, replace the dirmemo2.lst in the folder you sorted with one generated by the Organizer. For example, if you sorted folder 001, you would need to replace the dirmemo2.lst in 001.

How to Use a Wiimote with the Flipnote Organizer

⚠ IMPORTANT: Wiimotes can only be used on Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, etc.) or other browsers that support WebHID.

Pairing a Wiimote to Your Computer

ℹ️ Official Wiimotes are known as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 or Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR in Bluetooth.

Semi-Permanent Pairing (“Bonding”)

Bonding is what allows Wiimotes to connect to a Wii with just a button press. This process is not easily done with normal Bluetooth, but there are programs on computers to make this process quick and reliable.

For Windows, you can use WiinuPro. To pair, hit the red SYNC button in the battery compartment of the Wiimote, then click “Sync” in WiinuPro.
Download it here: https://github.com/KeyPuncher/WiinUPro/releases

For MacOS, you will need to use WiimotePair by Dolphin. Follow the instructions for pairing in the program.
Download it here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/WiimotePair/releases

You can undo the bonding by simply repairing to your Wii.

Selecting Your Wiimote in the Flipnote Organizer

To use your Wiimote, you must first select it! Scroll down in settings until you find the “Use a Wiimote” section, then hit “Select Wiimote” and connect to Nintendo RVL-CNT-01(-TR).

You can disconnect your WIimote by powering it off. Hold the power button until the player indicator lights turn off.

Flipnote Studio allows you to import audio clips created in the Nintendo DSi Sound app. If you’re using Flipnote Studio on a 3DS, it will also work with sounds created using the Nintendo 3DS Sound app, but you will need to save these sounds to the System Memory.

This tutorial will not instruct you how to add full music to your Flipnotes. We’d recommend reading our Flipnote Audio Recording Techniques article for that!

You will need the Advanced Tools enabled to follow this tutorial. You can learn how to do this by reading our How to enable the Advanced Tools article.

To get started, open the Flipnote Editor and go to the sound menu:

Normally you can record audio by tapping the record button on the Music section or any of the three sound effect slots.

However, we’re going to hold the action button (Normally the L button, or R button if you’re left-handed) and tap one of these audio bubbles:

Assuming you’ve already created some audio clips in the Sound application, they’ll be shown here. Select the sound you want to import, and then “Import this sound”.

That’s it! You’ve imported a sound from the Nintendo DSi (or 3DS) Sound application. Have fun creating fun noises and audio and using them for your Flipnotes!

Flipnote Studio has a drafting tool that lets you sketch out what’s on your mind before you even begin to draw!

In order to use the drafting tool, you’ll first need to enable the Advanced Tools.

First, open the Flipnote editor and go to page 2 of your tool section. Next, hold your alternate button (L Button, or R button if you’re left-handed) and tap on “Draft”.

Just like the layers, what you’ve drawn with the draft tool can be hidden or shown by tapping the eye icon while holding the alternate button. You can erase it entirely by tapping on the Erase button.

The draft layer is different from other layers, however, in that it won’t be saved with the Flipnote and is the same on all pages. You can draw straight or horizontal/vertical lines by holding the Select or Start buttons.

Use the drafting tool to get an idea of how you’d like to do something, or to draw a simple guide for yourself to reference while working on your Flipnote!

Flipnote Studio provides you with much more than first meets the eye, and much of it is available under the Advanced Tools. Today we’ll show you how to turn on the Advanced Tools and become a pro Flipnote creator!

First, open Flipnote Studio and tap the symbol in the top right corner.

Go to the third page in the Settings and then tap “On” under Advanced Tools.

You’re all set! Now you can use the wide plethora of advanced tools available to you.
