Hi i have a ds lite and have r4's ive had them ages but my son is getting a DSI and i wondered if it was the same r4 to use?? Or do i need to get an R4 for DSI?? i dont mind if i can only get DSL games on it that will be fine so long as it works?? Any help welcome!! Cheers!!
The original R4 will not work on DSi. Regardless buying a new R4 is NOT recommended. You should get an Acekard 2i instead.
Take this advice. I would also recommend the Acekard 2i. http://shoptemp.com/products/Acekard-2i-Card-for-Nintendo-DS-DS-Lite-DSi-p-30.html
I also recommend this advice. The original R4 won't work, and anything that claims to be an R4 that works with the DSi is a fake. Get an Acekard 2i if you can. That's right. You use the same games from romulation, it's just a more reliable card made by a different manufacturer.
This is what you'll need for it when you get the card. Put his on your MicroSD card if you end up getting the AK2i.
