You’ve probably already heard, but just to clear it up, no…for the R4. In fact, the system does not even “see” the cartridge…or if it does, it’s ignoring it. And here’s something that might kill your hopes for a future device: the DSi does not even work with Nintendo’s own ROM cartridges, the ones that developers and press use to preview game copy. When inserted, the DSi gives this message: An error has occured. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the system off. Please see the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for help troubleshooting. As for the other questionable devices, we’ve heard that the Acekard 2i works in the DSi, but can’t confirm this yet.
