Currently have a R4I card which works perfectly in DS but have just bought a DSI as a present....will the R4i card work automatically in a DSi? If not, what should be my next step? Thanks...

are you sure its not an R4 card you have fot your DS
and you need an R4i card for a DSi
one type card for one model im afraaid ya can buy them here
the micro sd memory card is good
you just need an r4i card for your dsi
r4i card,r4 card,ttds,cheapset price,same day post in uk. -
if your dsi is new, then it will almost certainly be on 1.4.1 firmware.
if your r4i card is more than roughly 2 months old, then it will probably not work.
only way to find out for sure is to try it.
you do not need to change anything on the card.
if it doesnt work first time, then there is no fix.....Comment

Thanks for replies...My card definitely says www.r4i-sdhc.com. We have an old card that says r4 on it so am guessing this is an R4i. The card is about about 10 months old and the DSi we bought recently.
If it doesn't work should I look to buy an Acekard 2i... The Company I bought the R4i card from seem to have disappeared...
Would the current SDHC card work in the Acekard 2i...would it need new firmware? I have saved all the games so could easily transfer them over again.Comment

it probably wont work then.
the new dsi's are on firmware 1.4.1
this was brought out specifically to "brick" gamecarts.
acecard released a kernal update to overcome this, but there is no uipdate for older r4i cards (although new ones have been adapted).
i would defo go for the acecard, far better supported.
and yes your micro sd card will work in acecard.
you just need to change the firmware and you can even keep your existing games on it.
the acecard wont see your save files from the r4 card, but if you change the file extension from .sav to .nds.sav ( i think), then you can use them too....Comment

Thanks for that. The current files on the SDHC card are
Moonmemo
Moonshl2
R4i menu
Demon0.sys
R4.dat
swreset.sys
Plus the games folder.
do I take all of them off when I have bought an Acekard 2i. Then download new firmware?Comment

yep,
you can leave the moonshell on. that works with acecard...
delete the other files.
AKAIO.1.8.1.rar
download akiou 1.8.1
it is the latest firmware for acecard..
put the _aiou folder and akmenu.nds file on the sd card and thats it......
job done...

just leave your games on it and either delete or modify your .sav files....Last edited by barrowmanandrew; 19 November, 2010, 12:17.Comment

Lovely....thanks. Where would you recommend to buy an Acekard 2i. We have bought dodgy R4 cards (from Malaysia) before that have packed up within 3 months...lots of counterfeits on the market so worries me a bit. You have been really helpful - thanks.Comment

two good suppliers:
1: r4i gold
uk based supplier, expect delivery in 2/3 days.
2: price angels
company based in china,
a bit cheaper than the uk based company, but delivery takes best part of three weeks.Comment

Thanks again....will wait and see if it works on my daughters birthday....if not will order an Acekard...have printed the post to remind me of everything you said. Thank you again...Comment

Could you explain what the card does rather than the sdhc card...Comment
-
not sure what you mean?
the sdhc is the micro sd card that holds all the files.
hc just means high capacity (more memory).
the game cart loads the roms....Comment
