Yes, that is what the R4 is made to do.
An R4 is basically a mod chip for the Nintendo DS console. You can download games from the internet and put them on your R4 card and play the games on your Nintendo DS.
If you connect to the DSi Shop, you can filter by price for free software.
No, the DSi's anti-piracy functionality stops R4's being used.
R4 Gold is the newest type of r4. It works on nds, ndsi and ndsixl. you can download games, movies and music onto it. There are many r4 gold card in the market currently. Most of them can run games and medias on Nintendo 3DS,DSi and DS cosnole. Such as r4 gold 3ds card from r4ids.cn, r4 gold v2.0 from r4ids.com and so on!
It won't work because the technology is different. And IT IS LEGAL CAUSE U HAVE 2 BUY IT! There are many r4 dsi cards in the world. They support Nintendo DSi and DS console.
you have to download thatThe R4i SDHC Card for Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi & DSi XL is a device that allows you to launch games, run applications and play media that you downloaded from the Internet. Place up to 32 gigabytes of files on a microSD or SDHC memory card, insert the card in the R4 slot and turn your DS or DSi on! Playing downloaded games has never been easier. The R4i SDHC is a must-have for all Nintendo DS and DS Lite console owners.You Can purchase R4i SDHC from www.r4ishop.comWhy is it better than the regular R4 DS or the R4 SDHC? Because the R4i SDHC is compatible with the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL/LL - even consoles flashed with 1.4 firmwares, unlike the original R4 DS. Note that the card contains renewed hardware and thus uses different system files
Yes, definately. The new features on the DSi are more than worth it. You should buy your games legally anyway!
Your laptop is not a Nintendo DSi and the file formats are not compatible.
you need a R4i card
From what I hear it is compatible. I am not compielty sure if it compatible. There are many r4 cards in the market currently. The r4 ds card is only for ds and ds lite. but the r4i card can run on dsi. Well, the latest version is r4 3ds card. It can run on Nintendo 3DS,DSi and DS console. If you want to get a flash card with good compatibility, I suggest you to got a r4 3ds card.
An r4i can let you back up the games that you already have (please note an r4i only works on a dsi and dsi XL if you do not have a dsi or a dsi XL you will have to get a normal r4 but do not be sad a normal r4 cando everything an r4 can).
Only if you buy a R4i DS.If you have DSi Firmaware 1.4 , you will need to make sure the box says "v1.4!" Original R4 DS card can't work on DSi. There are many r4 dsi card in the world. which can run on Nintendo DSiXL, DSiLL, DSi, DS and DS lite.
