Here is a collection of some great questions from Nille and my answers to them. If you are new to DSi Flash Cards this should be interesting. If YOU have some Questions ask them here in Comments!

Q: if i by this card would i be able 2 get adobe flash player + can i go on uTube + can i go on aim
A > No – Nintendo NDS / DSi does not have enough processing power to run Adobe Flash so no YouToube for us.

Q: how much is it and where can i find it
A > Take a look at this store for details.

Q: is it only in JAP
A > No – DSi Flash Cards work on all USA, Japanese, European and UK consoles

Q: how do you know it really works
A > Because we are playing our roms (free DS Game Backups) with these cards

Q: u never said if it could go on aim
A: Yes – with a DSi Flash Card you can chat on AIM and ICQ using DSAIM software rom – download here http://www.ds-xtra.com/DSAIM

Q: so can it and is there anything i can get besides this to go on it
A: You have to have one of the DSi compatible flash cards – which one is up to you. No way to get FREE roms an and software on DSi without a DSi flash card adapter

Q: can i get processing power on this
A: not exactly sure what you mean by that. R4i or AK2i adds MEMORY – not processing power. It is not a CPU upgrade.

Q: what are roms and when you say cards do you actually meen cards
A: ROMs in general are DS Games or Programs. DSi roms can be backups of Nintendo games sold in stores or games and software made bby 3rd party programmers. With DS Flash Cards you can also play Games / Roms from other consoles like NES, Gameby, GBC, Sega, ZX Spectrum, Atari, SNES etc.
And when I say CARD I mean DS / DSi Flash Cartridge (with internal flash memory) OR DSi Flash Card Adapter (in the form of a DS Game Cartridge) that requires you to insert a microSD card inot the DS cartridge for it ot work. http://www.gameboy-advance.net/ds-lite/flash-cards.htm

Q: if i get this where do i put it in the dsi
A: You would put it in the DSi Game Card slot where you put DSi games. On NDS / DS Lite it is called SLOT-1. The flash card / memory adapter is the exact same shape and size as a DS GAME CARD so usually it is not too hard to figure out where to put it
