Hi All,
Welcome, and seasons greetings to you all!!!
I've not been around much, as I have no need personally... (as I dont own a DS) however you guys were awesome when you helped me solve my mums DS Lite issue a year or so ago, and thank you so much for that.... and so now comes a new problem, which I seek your vast knowledge.
As said, I dont have a DS, or dealings with, and so I am a noob to this (PCs, I am fine with). However my brother has bought his son a DSi (not sure model, but its not XL or 3DS) and I told him to get an R4 card. A lot has changed when I bought mums one, as back then there wasnt anything to do with versions, and firmware for cards/console?? and was told there wont be any firmware for consoles and so safe to do so.
Device: Nintendo DSi (with both camera's) not sure model?
Device OS/Software: 1.4.2 E
Flash Card: R4i-SDHC 3DS with WiFi Engine (the bigger box one: http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/images/bane_3ds.jpg)
Now, we are STUMPED what to do...?? We have tried to follow the website, guides and YouTube vids, but because it doesnt make proper sense, we are unsure what we are flashing??
What firmware do we need? (currently the Device is 1.4.2 E) as we seen reference to 1.4.3 from here: http://www.r43dsguides.com/2011/04/21/r4i-gold-3ds-card-r4i-gold-euinstallation-guide/
Can someone point us to the exact file, as it references the 3DS, even though we dont have a 3DS device, other than the R4i card has the 3DS label on it.
What exactly is being flashed? The DSi OS or the FlashCart ROM ?
- is it safe to do so, as I heard you cant downgrade? not that thats an issue as long as the card works?
Please be noob friendly, as we really have no idea, and its for his sons Xmas present. We tried to follow the guides, but dont want to brick anything...
Many thanks, know you guys can help... you were awesome last time!!
Thanks, Lister
