I donot know a website for downloading games for my dsi on my r4i

Could you state what exactly you have attempted?
For firmware updates, go to R4i's website and go to the "Download" tab. Download the latest firmware files, and put those on the root of your MicroSD card. Reattempt booting it up.
Another issue could be that the internals of your DSi have become dirty. Try cleaning the contacts of the game slot with a dry tissue, and attempt again.
Does your DSi load other games but not R4i? The R4i is probably broken. Check if you have any warranty and contact the R4 team. If the DSi doesn't load any games, attempt cleaning. If this still is the issue, the DSi is broken and you should contact Nintendo.

Depending on the version of your r4i card, download the latest firmware here (http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp) and install it over the existing files. This should allow you to run it on the newest dsi firmware. In the future, do not upgrade your dsi unless you are absolutely sure that your r4i will continue to function.

Make sure when you are installing the software to the R4i Card you format it first. If you don't format it to the correct format type then it can cause the following; Unable to start, Freezing, corrupt files.

Goto the R4i's Manufacturer's website and get the latest version and also look for a 'How-To'. Also make sure you card is compatible with DSi XL and not just DSi.

Do you have the R4i SDHC? It should have come in a red box. I bought my iEdge from dscardworld and on their download page they have the latest software for R4i SDHC.

Go to linfoxdomain, and check that you have the right software for the r4i gold, thats the only thing that can be wrong with r4i gold if you have loaded the games right, have you unzipped all the games, if you have done all that right it must be the card,

Go to R41 website and download the latest kernel upgrade they have if they have one and this would be the only fix. Never do any updates again unless you are sure it will not affect your card.

You must install the USB into the pc, format the micro SD card (if you have one) and get the latest kernel from the CD/website, now get the R4i into your dsi, and enyoy! (please be aware that some flashcards can work on V 1.03 or under, so don't upgrade to 1.04!)

According to the website for R4i SDHC the new system update for the DSI will not allow any cards to be used. R4i will only work on 1.3 version of the system software...To verify check the bottom right hand corner of the top screen in system settings...

The R4i will work just fine on a DS Lite, I don't know what you're talking about. As for the DSi, it depends on which R4i it is. f you have the R4i Gold, then I'm sorry to tell you, there's no workaround for DSi 1.4. If you have R4i SDHC (redbox) then you can get the latest firmware to make it work again.


There's a great tutorial to set it up on http://www.dscardworld.com with pictures and links to all the official software on their supportpage. And I noticed they made a video about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV4sNQf2uS4

The R4i does NOT work on UK (PAL) DSi consoles. I bought an R4i card last week and it will not work regardless of which software kernal is loaded onto it. The website I bought it from have offered to replace it with an Acekard 2i which DOES work with UK DSi's.
