First I would suggest you never to accept any updates before finding out what they do. FW v 1.4 tried to disable flash cards, but failed with most of them. Cards like R4i SDHC v 1.4 , M3i ZERO , R4 Gold are now fully compatible with DSi version 1.4 U E and J. So before you buy – check if the card is 1.4+ compatible and upgradable, and don’t update if you don’t have to. (DS Lite and old NDS does not get any firmware updates from Nintendo so they are “safe” and all cards work on them like they should)

Buy a used ds lite, update your ak2, then return you used ds lite to the store
i want to purchase a DSi, are these cards reqiured to operate a DSi to play games, take photos, listen to musc, browse internet ect or will a card come with the DSi? i am a little confused
I have a R4i revolution card r4ids and foolishly updated my system to 1.4.1u is it possible to upgrade my card to be compatable
would this work on the nintendo DSi LL?
R4 DSi card is lagged now, the R4 3DS card centry is coming!
official r4 3ds webstei: r43ds.net



I just bought a DSi which has 1.4U firmware installed already. I bought an AK2, but keep getting error message, and the only way to solve the problem is to upgrade the AK2 on an old DSL, which unfortunately I do not have any friend that has a DSL to upgrade the flash card for me. Is there any card I can buy that can directly use on my new DSi.
