u download them from vtech direct..

[Kalipo]

Eeer yeah we know.. but we want them free.. my son got his christmas day. he played the game that was on it.. most of the day, now he's bored of it.. not paying ?4 a day to keep him happy..

Begginging to think the park is better now lol

[Shady]

free? no chance.. not with vtech stuff.. have tried it with the storio and the mobigo.. no chance mate

i got the leapfrog leappad for my baba as its way better, i thought, but you can't get free stuff for that either.
amazing how kids stuff is better locked down than proper computers.
if you want more content for free then get a proper tablet or pack in moaning lol

The only thing ive found at the moment is, using my own music, and you can put movies on to.would need a decent size memory card though

found on net
I gave up on on Super, Avidemux and Prism. I know they should all work but the Innotab is very picky. I found on a Amazon forum a guy had luck with "Pocket DVD Wizard" so I tried the free version(only does first 5 minutes) It work for every movie I tried. The picture is not great so you could not use same file to watch on your laptop but is great for the Innotab. No decrypting first either...guess it screen captures? I purchased the full version after that - was about $15. For settings just use all the defaults but pick "compressed AVI" and choose wide screen and don't let it talk you out of wide screen as it will try. Takes over an hour to do a movie then copy onto your SD card...I am using 32 GB SDHC and works good. Movie becomes 500 to 700 MB. Copy it directly to the movies folder...do not use the LLN. The LLN may work for the files out of the Pocket DVD Wizard but I have not tested is and I found it flakey with other working files

thanks guys, i thought that with google not having anything on it, my frien was in at the barrowlands on christmas eve and the guys in there were offering 50 games for ?40, sounded a bit crazy to me but thought i would give it a bash, thanks for your help.

Would be a bit hard to control though..

Update:

I worked out how to use the Innotab's accelerometer, now you can play it by tilting the innotab :)
