    you need to update the cart on a non-updated DSi or a DS. updating involves running a rom file.

    you need to run an update rom, not a random game.

    The latest 1.44 cart FirmWare update is packaged with V1.56b Kernel update for your R4i-SDHC cart
    To unblock your cart you will need
    A spare / friends - DSi console prior to this 1.44 FW system update
    And a spare R4i-SDHC cart prior to 1.44 FW update

    1. You use DSi console / spare R4i-SDHC cart both = prior to 1.44 FW to get to the UPGRADE icon using v1.56b kernel
    2. Choose UPGRADE .... When it says hit A to upgrade .... switch over cart to the Blocked one ... then press A to continue

    Hey presto . . . your blocked cart will work again if you reach 100%

    Let me know if you have these resources . . . otherwise you must buy another cart . . . sorry

    None of my other friends have a dsi /: Only one of my other friends has a 3ds..and he has a regular r4..not an r4i..and I think he lost that..

    The 3DS will work for you / same as Dsi (as it allows hot swap cart changeover (tick)
    The R4 cart may be an issue ... but give it a go (if he can find it) buddy (nothing to lose eh ?)

    You may be surprised !?

    Experimentation is how we all learn !!!!

    The only other option is for you to send me your cart thru the mail system (to Australia) $$$ ???
    I can fix this problem ... but maybe cheaper to buy a new cart >?

    Your choice ?
