Ttds worked fine in ds but not in new dsi what can i do to get games back on

Hello,

The DSTT is not meant for DSi. There's no way to make it work I'm afraid. I can recommend that you upgrade to the Acekard 2i. It's a strong midrange card that gets great speed and very regular updates.

If you need to upgrade to a DSi v1.4 compatible card you can get a genuine cards here http://www.dscardworld.com. All their DSi compatible cards are clearly labeled, and they test every card on an updated DSi before shipping. I managed to find this site after I got burned at a few others. Loved having my emails responded to because I had loads of questions, and they were quick to ship it.

DSI console will not recornize the N5 card

the n5 i think only works on the DS not the DSI.
most other carts have made an updated version for the dsi.
and they were all hardware updates. so you might have to buy another one.

Does N5 work with new DSI?

Common N5 or other flashcarts existing before the launch of DSi wont work on that console.
You have to buy the new versions designed to work on DSi.

Can't play ds fireline (100 games in 1) in dsi

The DSi blocks all flashcards that were released before it. Your card is one of those blocked cards, so you can't do much except return that and buy a DSi-compatible cart online. As for the region, the DSi hasn't been hacked yet so region changing isn't possible at the moment.

N5 for nintendo dsi

DSi requires it's own compatible card. But make sure it's version 1.4 compatible otherwise it won't work either (the R4i Gold came out before the version 1.4 so it wont' work).

If you need to upgrade to a DSi compatible card you can get a genuine cards here www.dscardworld.com and all the DSi 1.4 cards are clearly labeled. I managed to find this site after I got burned at a few others. Loved having my emails responded to because I had loads of questions, and they were quick to ship it.



Best of luck!

Nintendo DSi. My R4(New) Revolution 8GB memory stick (with game installed)will not work when installed in the new Nintendo.Do I need new software to be installed on the R4 stick?

Yes you do need software on the r4 if you go to the R4 website you can retrive it from there

i still say the cheaper n5 is the more superior card put that just maybe personal preferance as i have both n5 and r4

R4Ds not working on NDS I

oh sorry didnt read your post right the first time, you have a new dsi? nintendo have been clever in not only makin the dsi region bound unlike the normal ds lite, meaning it will not play games from other regions where as the ds lite can but it does also made sure that the new dsi does not support any super card, be it the r4, dstt, n5. they are gits. the r4 ,dstt teams etc have promised to do cards that the dsi supports but dunno wen avalible yet and im guessin will cost more, sorry to let you in on this gimmick that nintendo have caused.hope this helps.

N5 NOT WORKING ON DS LITE

Try gently bending the N5 so that the pins contact more effectively. Be careful not to snap it!
