Hi I am trying to find a r4i for the DSi. I search on google and on top of the list is this link: + Show Spoiler +
http://www.priceangels.net/Video_Games_Nintendo_DS_Carts_t.html?childtypeid=12&gclid=CI7AgqKpqaQCFSFZiAodA2IX5A


Apparently there's the R4i SDHC, R4i DSi LL, and the R4i Gold. I don't know the difference between any of them and was hoping if anyone here on the forum has had experience on purchasing an R4i. My house was robbed recently and amongst the items that was stolen was my girlfriend DS and her R4. She's going to take a trip to Taiwan soon and I want to replace her DS with the DSi and the R4i. Any suggestion would help. I don't even know if the site that I link is legitimate. Can anyone help? Thank you.

-edit-
Any suggestion to where to purchase a used pink DSi would help also. Again, thank you guys in advance.

Isn't Nintendo cracking down pretty hard on these now?

Really? I don't know. I always updated games on my girlfriend's old R4 all the time but I don't know how it is now.

Yeah, Nintendo's cracking down on ROMs. I remember romulation stopped offering DS ROMs recently.

Does that mean the R4i is not going to work?

It will work, just finding certain ROMs may be harder now.

This should answer your question:

The difference between each of them is that they are clones of the original r4. Since these things are pretty much illegal, I don't think they are copyrighted, so a lot of different companies create clones. Clones are able to play most games, but their firmware is rarely updated so don't except them to work on any game that has anti-piracy. You need to get the real R4 to play games with anti-piracy. I would also recommend the TT. My friends and I have been using it and it's very reliable.

I'm still using the super old ancient R4. I'm hoping to be able to play Golden Sun on it soon.

Well, considering how posting links on how to download videogames (pirate) is against forum policy, I doubt this thread will stay open.
Regardless, its pretty hard to find these now a days.

I also think they'll be doing firmware update stuff to fuck with rom users.

The R4 is super outdated, it's not even supported by the original company anymore so its firmware will rarely get updated. If you're going to get one, google up another one.

r4i = for the DSi im assuming?

been playing my M3 Simply on regular DS for over 2 years now, its like the best thing ever. I probably play as much DS as SC2, but im running out of good games.. With Last Window and the new Professor Layton out though, im occupied for another week (Last window is beat, pretty good game but Hotel dusk was better imo)

I have an Acekard 2i and it works flawlessly. Every once in a while Nintendo releases a patch for the DSi that blocks flash cards but the developers for these cards release updates to override them.

www.gbatemp.net is a good resource for these kinds of things.
