DS or DSI

[reesy1959]

the thing with the r4 card is they can`t be updated so newer games usally don`t play on them but if you can get a iedge card these can be updated and are the only card I know of that will play in both the ds and the dsi.
hope this helps and does`nt cause to much confusion

Thank you. Dont worry, my mate Davie and his Wife Anne will be with us to guide the way into the unknown world of game technology

Hi you can get a r4i card which will run on both Ds and Dsi, and is backward compatible, don't know about 3d ds. If possible try before you by, most ds cartridges can be software upgraded by going on the makers site and down loading it and reinstaling. We have both iedge and R4 running in a old silver ds and the newer 'pink' ds, sister in law has dsi.

I am just getting this for a friend, I wont have the DS with me to try anything. I am completely naive to all these games now, I still live in the world of spectrum 48 etc

Lol. The commadore Amiga was better, I passed the shop near hobnobs, and he had ds consoles, so he can show you it working.

The shop near Hobnobs, they are £10 or £20 depending on game choice, they are both the same card, and said to work on all three Ds consoles, he said that he would show you it working.

Thank you Steve.

Jeff - what would you like me to get for you, which one, or do you want both?

[stevew]

Reesy,
it is the same cartridge, just the games are different. The ds cart holds a micro sd card, like your htc phone, this is preloaded with games, he may do a deal, I cart 2 sd cards should then be cheaper than £30.

Reesy,

I am so sorry for causing you any grief,all we need is a chip to be used on a DSI, last year we bought chips for a ds and i think we paid about £20,but we need one for a DSI now progress (as if),if you have to pay anymore ,i will of course cover the cost when you get home .
