I want to be able to play the NES and SNES games I own on my DSi. Is there an easy way to do that? I have heard of R4i cards, wondering if that is still supported as i do not want to buy one and be out of luck. Thanks,
It's much better to do so on a 3DS, but there are NES/SNES/GBA emulators for R4.I want to be able to play the NES and SNES games I own on my DSi. Is there an easy way to do that? I have heard of R4i cards, wondering if that is still supported as i do not want to buy one and be out of luck. Thanks,

Get a flashcart, download the homebrew emulators. (i thin super card ds two has more processing power for GBA and SNES) download something like Gameyob or nesds and get some roms and play.I bet its a lot better on a 3DS but I don't plan on getting one, I have an old DSi, and looking to see if its pretty plug and play easy to do. Is the software still out there to make it work or is it going to be hard to do?
2DS?I bet its a lot better on a 3DS but I don't plan on getting one, I have an old DSi, and looking to see if its pretty plug and play easy to do. Is the software still out there to make it work or is it going to be hard to do?
2DS?
SnemulDS/lolDS for SNES, nesDS for NES, gbaemu4ds for GBA
I strongly suggest you get one.No, i have a DSi, before 3ds and 2ds
NES, SNES, and GBA emulators exist for DS flashcarts, but you're going to have variable success depending on the game.

Exactly the same. It's the same emulator.Thanks for sending, is this list about the same for DSi?
2DS can be gotten for a little over $50, can be hacked easily with A9LH, and has a lot of good games.I would but I am a casual gamer, I am 41 years old, just trying to see if I can make my NES and SNES and GBA games portable without doing a lot of work. Thats $200 I don't really want to spend. Just looking to see what is viable on a DSi thx though.
Interested... is that hack free or additional cost? And is the 2DS powerful enough to play all the GBA, SNES, NES, Metroid and Zelda games?Exactly the same. It's the same emulator.

Free if you're below 11.0 firmware, yes.Interested... is that hack free or additional cost? And is the 2DS powerful enough to play all the GBA, SNES, NES, Metroid and Zelda games?
You can forget about GBA emulation unless you get a SCDS2. The DSi doesn't have a GBA cart slot so old methods like an EZFlashIV don't work here.
The Supercard DS Two has an on-board processor and is the best you're gonna get with a DSi.
It should also include NES and SNES.
They CAN, just not well at all.Sorry, not quite following...m3i zero or r4i does not work? What is the Supercard DS2? Thanks for the help.
This guide tells you how to get it all set up for CFW, which allows installation of GBA/NES games. SNES is played using SNES9x for old 3DS.Ok, so how does it work for a 3DS, is it easy to do on a 3DS? Or do I have to buy additional hardware? It looks like I can get a used 3DS for around $100
This guide tells you how to get it all set up for CFW, which allows installation of GBA/NES games. SNES is played using SNES9x for old 3DS.
If the 3DS is below firmware 11, it is completely free.
Certain sites contain "CIA" game files for 3DS, NES, and GBA games. Google "that chaos site" or "that ISO site"
After you follow the guide, you can install those and play them.
Nope. There's an "old 3DS" (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS) or "new 3DS" (New 3DS, New 3DS XL)Thank you for your time... Clarity here..."SNES is played using SNEX9x for old 3DS" does that mean if I get the wrong 3DS I can't play SNES games on it?
