Got a nintendo dsi and I am going on my hols in a few days so dont want to take a load of games with me. Is there a backup device available for the dsi? I know there is for the ds and ds lite, but from what I have read these devices arent compatabile with the dsi?

Cheers

 

Yes, lots. EZflash Vi, AceKard 2i, TTDSi TT DSi & R4DSi to name a few.

Not looked much into them but last I read they won't load your DSi backups but DS ones are fine. May have changed now though.

 

cheers Dunk, only came across the Acekard 2i when searching but doesnt appear to be in stock anywhere

 

found a site now that does them all!

www.r4gift.com,cheapset price,same day post in uk.

 

i have an r4i from memorybits and it's spot on.

 

I thoroughly recommend Memory Bits: r4i.co.uk - R4 / R4i Card Zone - Nintendo DS / DS Lite / DSi Adapter

cheers guys, I actually ordered the r4i from microdirect should have it today, the other place above the delivery is quite slow apparently and there has been some negative reviews

 

R4 don't actually make their cards anymore, they discontinued them, so just be warned that all these "genuine" ones aren't as genuine as they say :P

Altho saying that, they still work fine, so just go with whichever you like best!

 

i have used Nintendo DS DSI Flash Cards, R4DS, R4SDHC, DSTT, EDGE, M3 DS REAL - NDS Cards in the past, think they were cheaper than the r4gift site.

 

What's the difference between R4DSI and AK2I?
Which one is better?
I used the R4 with my DS lite and it was perfect. No patch to apply, just load the roms.
Is it still the same?

 

dont know, I use the R4I and its a matter of putting some files on it from the manufacturers website, and then copy roms to it, and it works. Straight forward

 

Dont think the R4 is available anymore, I got my girls an equivalent of Amazon, cant remember the name now or find their ds's about £12 inc the memory card..

I heard that there was an update on the DSI to block the backup chiped cartridges?

 

I have the dsi and my r4i works perfectly with it, thats with the latest nintendo update as well

 

Ive got a Acekard 2i

Works perfect with our DSi !

 

Mine are TT cards, I know some have issue over copying etc...but look at it this way.......you have 3 kids, do you buy three games?

I believe you are legally allowed to make a back up of a game that you have bought, it saves arguments then cos all 3 can play the same game..pluss the issue of holidays, I would much rather the kids take a £12 TT card full of games on holiday, then take almost £500 worth of games in a seperate bag that runs the risk of getting lost....much safer bet..
