    Default DSi XL - Info needed -

    Daughter is buying grandson a DSi XL for his birthday and has asked me what I know about them and terms like game cards, ace cards, R4, flash cards, etc - the short answer is zip.

    I would greatly appreciate a PM from anyone who can bring me up to speed on these things.

    After all grandpa is supposed to know everything.

    The answer from what I have read is, if it works with the DSi, it works with the DSi XL, so thus any of the "i" based cards should work (R4i, M3izero, supercardONE etc)
    Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.

    I think my meaning has been missed .. I have had no exposure to any form of DS and am basicly looking for the newbies guide to DS and accessories ... you know DSi for dummies. Help appreciated.

    Basically the flash cards Roguefan is talking about are just a ds game cartridge with a slot to fit a micro sd card. The flash card enables you to download games and play them aswell as making the ds able to play movies music and pictures, how many depends on the size of the sd card.
    Stop being so stupid.. it’s my turn!!

    Normal R4 wont work.
    It needs to be a R4i with the latest update(1.4 compatible)
    R4 is a poor choice of card for the DSi systems, as you will need to buy a new one everytime there is a system update.

    You need to go to the web site listed on the card (they are clones so they all have different websites).

    You need to then download the operating system for the card and put it on the microSD.

    Then load up whatever content you want onto the microSD

    Put it in the DSi and away you go
