Probably a daft question re Dsi and flash cards

Hiya

My daughter had the card that allows me to download games from here for her DS Lite. I assumed that it would work for my son who has just bought a DSi. But says no game inserted.

Any ideas and if so, where do I purchased the items from, a work colleague purchased them for me and she is on maternity leave at the moment.

Many thanks

Not daft at all

What is the card your daughter is using?

(the brand-what label)

Is it the same as the son's?


And importantly-are they both dsi's or is one an older ds/ds lite?

 

I just re-read your post.

Your problem lie's in the 2 ds's-they are both different models.


The dsi cannot take standard flash cards unlike the ds/ds lite.


You will need a flash card brand with i in it's name.


Suggestions-acekard 2.i (not 2.1-that's not gonna work) r4i (I don't trust them much though) or dstti.


There are other types but I have little experience.

Also-do not update the dsi's firmware via wifi-which mean no using the dsi shop or that handy facebook add on nintendo put in.

It blocks it-some card may have work arounds but it will get blocked again by nintendo's firmware updates.

Hope I helped.

 

Bah! Shows what I know about them then.

 

Yours is a simpler version of what I said-minus the fact that dsi's can't take standard flash cards XD
