A R4 is a flash cartage for the Nintendo DS used to play games, movies, music, and homebrew on the DS.
It is not illegal but has been cracked down on in some countries including Japan. The problem with the R4 is that it's like selling blank CD's - it's legal to own, but some people use them only to pirate games and illegally play games they haven't yet bought.
If you buy an R4 and just back up games you already own (so you don't need to take so many cards on holiday for example) this is completely legal.
France takes R4 DS legal but UK illegal, and users need both R4 DS and Game ROMs. The problem is that Game Developers and R4 Manufactures need to find the right way to bring more for customers.
There is a kind of Wood R4 Firmware for R4 DS, which written by Yellow Wood Goblin. And R4 DS users can download.
An R4 adapter is an adapter for the Nintendo DS. It is the same shape as a Nintendo DS cartridge but it holds a micro SD memory card. The point of it is to save your games on the micro SD card. You can also watch movies, browse photos, read e-books and listen to music!

R4i cards is a R4 card's next generation, just like a father and a kid.
R4i cards is designed for the DSi console at the beginning, lately, while the DSi XL , 3DS console comes out.
R4i cards is upgraded to work on the DSi xl , and 3DS.
There are many kinds of r4i cards indeed. But before your buy, you need to pay attention to the kernel, for how long the kernel released. monthly, several months. I do not think that there is a r4i kernel released weekly according to my experiences.
Many online site sell r4i cards, but it is suggested to buy from the authorized reseller, since you can got a real warranty from them.
There are many site, such as,
www.priceminister.com
www.shoppingwiki.com
www.coolgadgetsgift.com
and so one, by the way, most sales are with free shipping. :)
of course, new r4i v1.6 kernel can work on all below version of r4i card, including r4i v1.4 kernel.
For r4i gold from r4ids.cn, the latest firmware is wood r4 V1.46; for r4i gold V2.0 from r4ids.com, it is the AKAIO V1.8.6 kernel; for r4i-gold card from r4i-gold.com, the latest software is r4i V1.71b.. Now it is already wood r4i v1.51b.
IF that is happening on your r4i there is something wrong with your r4i. It has nothing to do with the sd card its the r4i.
You can buy R4i cards online.
No. R4i and R4 are not illegal. R4i and R4 are only illegal if they have games on them.
r4i gold and r4i sdhc card are most popular in players. both of them can support 3ds, dsi and ds lite. but personally, I think the r4i gold card has better compatibility.
No, they don't sell R4i at Walmart but you can visit poshsystems.com to pick one up. They carry R4i-SDHC, R4i 3DS, R4i RTS and others. All of them work on the current firmware version of DS/DSi/3DS. R4i-SDHC or the RTS have the best interface in my opinion.
Yes pokesav works on r4i
it seems R4i has better capabilities than acekard 2i but alot of R4i's are fake.
The R4i Gold is a fake card released to try and take advantage of the R4i selling so well worldwide. R4i sdhc and r4i gold card are different flashcard. they are similar in functions. But different in package. they use difference kernel. Both of them are popular in Players currently.
the r4i v1.4 card is the old version, it can only work on dsi v1.4 and below console. No the latest r4 card for dsi is the r4i v1.4.5.
This is a very weird question.
