Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on. HOLD. ON.
With this thing, I could play NDS ROMs through my DSi's SD Slot using a MicroSD without actually needing a Flashcard, is that what you're saying?!
Not yet.
It's only Homebrew apps and Download Play demos which are supported now.
Full ROMs might be compatible down the road.

But he's asking if this would work on a DSi since the package says "DSi/3DS SD Card"
Only Download Play and Homebrew apps will work on both DSi and 3DS.
Full ROM's won't work on neither 3DS nor DSi until further notice, right now it's only Download Play and Homebrew apps.
And take into consideration that those HB apps must be compiled with the new libnds library to work if the apps use DLDI.

I know that.

I mean, he asked if this was possible on a Nintendo DSi. And the answer is NO, too, since he can't install CIAs in a Nintendo DSi. I think he asked about the scope for Nintendo DSi, not if he could load commercial ROMs right now.

WHAT. EVER. DUDE.
Just.. just.. I really need to scream a bit now because.. this feeling is just.. agh..
Play. DS ROMs. THROUGH THE USELESS-FOR-ME SD SLOT. FROM MY NINTENDO DSi.
The simple idea of that being possible is enough to make me believe that this world is a wonderful place.
I did fantasized about it a lot when I first got my DSi, but to think that it would be a thing.. it feels just way too good.
I'll come from time to time to check, please keep this glorious project up @Robz8, greetings from Uruguay <3

Oh that.
Yeah. :P I feel excited too, it's one step closer to achieving native support without the need of an external hardware.

And that's how my hopes and dreams died, oh welp, good luck with this anyways.

I think you'll still need a flashcard though, even if the ROM is on the SD card
What would be the point then tho?

I think nearly nobody has this. And the chance that anyone, that has it, is interested in this, is really low. ;D

I would use my old DSi for it. But I do not have Sudokuhax :(

This is for Nintendo 3DS mainly. It could be approached in a DSi by loading a homebrew that launched the game from SD card in a DSi with Sokuhax.

Do you by any chance, have sudokuhax on your DSi?
Nope. I think my DSi only had Flipnote and Photo Fighter on it.
I lost my flashcard long ago through some unnecesary-to-explain events so I thought this could be the way to bring the console back, but I guess it was just too good to be.

Metroid Prime Hunters Demo (with battle mode) - works (didn't test local multiplayer)
Zelda Preview Trailer (BETA) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - works
Mario Kart DS - White screen on boot

Is it a demo? This will only load demos and some homebrew right now.

Nah it was a normal game, as soon as I read "no need for flashcart" I instantly tried to do it, but alas it failed, then I spent the next 30 mins reading the thread and found out it only worked with demos and homebrew... and decided to add my useless input :P still, it was worth a try :yay: can't wait till this works tho it's gonna be BIG
