Convert NDS to DSI

Can you convert NDS to DSI?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert NDS to DSI?
No - not a direct conversion.

.dsi denotes a DSi-enhanced/DSiWare dump - it's still a DS-family ROM, not a different format you 'convert' to. A standard DS .nds isn't a DSi title; you can't turn one into the other. melonDS runs both.
