Can Gba games work on DSi with an R4i?

I have an R4i for my Dsi and I was wondering if any GBA games would work on it.

 

Short explanation:
The NDS already has perfect HARDWARE emulation of GBA games (using Slot 2). Thus, there serves no need to make a flash cart (Slot 1) which uses SOFTWARE emulation of the GBA. Solution? Get yourself a GBA flashcart, should be pretty cheap nowadays.

 

I was asking the same question. I geuss its probaly inpossible for us to play the old GBA games

 

Without a Slot 2 (or a Hypervisor, but I won't get into that).

 

ahh here is where ur all wrong... GBA can be played on the r4i+dsi but not before someone works out how to get YSMenu onto it cuz YSMenu plays the gba roms

 

wat

R4s CAN have YSMenu on them.
YSMenu does NOT play GBA roms without a slot-2 flashcart.
The ONLY way to emulate GBA on a slot-1 flashcart is with the iPlayer, which, as you may have guessed, is NOT an R4.

 

i have the same question too, all the answers are: (what do you think?) no

 

To everyone-disregard.

For r4 to play gba games you need a slot 2 expansion/dedicated gba flash card (if latter then you don't need an r4 XD) and ys menu to get it going.

YS menu is just the software to get them running to the expansion card-the acekard/edge can do that as they are-r4 can't, thus it needs this extra software to run.

Do your research next time.

 

i heard you can play gba games on a dsi with iplayer

 

Yes you can apparently, but...

That's an iplayer-not many of us would have or use one.

 

I know that GBA games work with the R4, With gba emulator and rom
