Infamous piracy device definitely does not work with new DSi
Nintendo has confirmed to MCV that today's reports claiming that SD-card based piracy hardware the R4 will not work with the upcoming DSi are correct.
The platform holder was not able to confirm whether this is a deliberate feature of the newly redesigned handheld. However, judging by recent history it’s not unreasonable to presume this is the case.
As commentators on our earlier story reveal, the R4 is still easily available on Amazon.co.uk, despite calls from the trade to ban its sale in the UK.

Great News?
This is great news in as much as it will help the industry gain the sales for its products rather than them being stolen.
However, I am slightly nervous about the machine having a built in SD card port, how long until that is exploited?
Also, the success of DSi itself is not guaranteed, are people really convince its significantly different from a DS to justify consumers upgrading?
r4 ds
i think some of the ds success is due to the r4ds card. until then a ds never intrested me? and to be honest after one month of playin the ds, i no longer play it.
Re: r4 ds
It's already been hacked. Come on MCV, keep up.
Re: Re: r4 ds
lol thats a proof of concept it doesn't mean its been hacked.
the ps3 has had countless hello world apps but nothing else.
please get ur facts straight before shouting its been hacked to the world.
but to be honest its certainly not a good start.
Re: Re: Re: r4 ds
good, but its a bit too late nintendo, sales of new ds games is still shocking, we only make enougth on preowned
Re: Re: Re: Re: r4 ds
Cleaver move, maybe Nintendo came up with a new handheld just to stop the massive piracy with the R4?

R4 DSi
Ha! Wait a while, there will definitely be an R4DSi. I don't trust Harrison, no link provided :p
R4 DSi
Update your software, because the new DSi is diferent type of core software, because it is quicker the main processor.
But if you upgrade software it will work, at least on mine it did.
dsi
my son dsi has being stolen by some1 i know, but cant prove it, is there anythink i can do to block it
DSi & R4 revoluntion
If you are sucessfully using a dsi and an R4 chip then the newest download from nintendo will prevent the chip from working after the download is installed. I can presume that Nintendo are learning and learning fast!
R4i Gold
It looks like we may have been a bit too quick to dismiss the R4i Gold Edition team, I just bought an R4i Gold from ukadapters and it works perfectly.
