You see, since the features like the built in camera, DS Ware, and the SD card support are on the DSi main menu, that means flashcarts like the R4 will not work with the DSi. I'm sorry to say this, but the only flashcart I know of that will work is the CycloDS. It does not automatically go into the main menu like the other flashcarts do. Plus the other flashcarts are getting outdated anyways. What's your response to this?

there are quite a few OFFICIAL ds cards that boot directly as well... (eg. ds download stations)
booting directly is an official feature, triggered by just a flag in the rom header...
so i don't see why this would make the difference for working/non-working

That's what I was wondering as well.

Maybe I'm just dense, but I really don't see a problem. What does cameras, DS Ware, and SD support have to do with flashcarts? DS/DSLite also has a menu with features that can only be used from the menu itself. Theres no difference from the DSi when it comes to having/lacking a menu.

Of course, I'm not saying that carts like the R4 will be usable, but saying that it won't work only because of the new features is pretty dumb in my opinion.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
