Hacking Nintendo DSI R4I Card update

[MrFixer]

I got myself an R4i card work perfect no problems but if their is a update for the DSI from Nintendo should i update ?

and if i did need to update is their a program i can use to update the DSI instead of updating from nintendo to make it safer ?

like for example with the Wii you shouldnt update from Nintendo so is it the same for DSI ?

No R4 clones (all R4i flashcarts are clones of the original R4) to my knowledge can update themselves, you must buy another flashcart if Nintendo updates the DSi. That being said you don't have to update. You can also just buy one of the more recommended flashcarts that get more updates and can update themselves to get around flashcart blocks.

At the moment there's nothing to suggest Nintendo are going to release another update. If they were going to release an update to block flashcarts, they probably would have by now. The last update was released July 30, 2009.

If they were going to release an update, logic says they would have released it with the DSi XL. If they release an update now, all it will do is stop people buying DSiWare as the update will be optional unless you want to but DSiWare or use the browser.

Well a lot of people update without knowing that it blocks flashcarts or because they want a DSiWare like flipnote studio.
