    Right, apparently the new NDSi can't read R4 is that true? Only Acekart can?

    Has anybody got an NDSi? lol, is it better than the DS Lite?

    Hehee.. I'm thinking of getting one hence my DS Lite was broken by my sis -madsign1

    I don't have a NDSi myself, but I know that the original R4 does not work. However, there is a new version of the R4 called the R4i which the solves the problem...

    NDS flash cards wont work with NDSi because nintendo prevented it from working (obviously to prevent profit loss etc.) NDSi will only read flashcards which end in i (so if youre getting the dsi youll need R4i, DSTTi, AceKard 2i) pretty sure itll work with new games since its all about the firmware for that. but you probably know some games need cracking themselves such as square enix games. and how do we know? its been tried by many people that is why theres the new flash crads =D

    There are some video in youtube that will teach you how to get your NDSi working with flashcard but as to what card to use, that you need to do some research.

    wonder why u would like play nds games on a ndsi.
    u already can play nds games on ur nds, ndslite
    there is no ndsi games available yet
    just keep ur money in ur pocket. wait a while till there is ndsi games. ( even nintendo didnt have a title out yet )
    and by that time they are available, there will be new flash cards available to hack it

    DSi games? the only possibly games that could be made for this "new system" os games that would use its camera.. other than that i think the DS and DSi is the same (excluding size, slots)

    i also heard the R4 team stopped but another company/team took over by using the R4 chipset. thats why the new r4s are named R4 "something" like evolution or whatever lolz

    and im using acekard 2 so +1 for that but friends sister uses cyclo and heard positive stuff about that one too

    I heard there were so many fake r4 chips out there. How can you tell if you have a real r4?

    Try holding it above a lighter, if it melts its fake.

    It really depends where you're purchasing them. Asian malls aren't exactly the best places to do so, but if you get it from reputable online sites you should be fine.
    Yes, extremely witty comment. If you feel the need to spam then do so in the bloopers/offtopic section. No need to plague the main forums with retarded remarks.

    Is it worth trading in a DS lite and a game to get a 100$ off a DSi at EB games?

    imo... not really... since all it has is a camera.... which is for certain games only...otherwise.. i dun see any diff...plus you need to get the new card.. unless u are a "legal" consumer...
