    Hi ya - I have a R4i-SDHC card and have had no problems until the last update - im not sure why its stopped working - DSi wifi is turned off and its running v1.44e. I've tried updating with suggested kernel 1.11d but just get: an error has occured please turn off the DS etc.

    The error message you are receiving is due to your DSi being updated and is now blocking flashcarts.

    So you need to go to the website of your cart and see if they have released an upgrade.

    If they haven't then you need to either wait to see if they will release an upgrade or purchase a new flashcart.

    Ethan is correct you will not be able to use the DSi you have recently updated, but you can use any DS that your flashcart will work on.

    ...thanks for this everyone; however I have downloaded the available update but when I insert into my other ds which hasnt been updated - it does play but I can't see anything under config where to
    activate the upgrade? Make sense?!

    The update/upgrade has to put into the root of the microSD and you select it and then run it on your DS/Lite

    At the moment there is nothing else on this card so I guess its likely to be in the correct place? thanks in advance; this is most definitely the most helpful site!

    If the upgrade is the only thing on your microSD then just select and run it.

    I've linked you to a good little budget card which will work fine on the DS or the DSi and the site i've linked you to is very trustworthy as i've made purchases there myself and

    they're pretty quick on the delivery http://www.zhuzhuchina.com/store/dsi_r4i_gold_slot-1_flashcard_type_d__www_r4ids_cn__3ds_1_4_4_compatible_wood_3ds.html
