So What does this do?
The R4i is a Ds game shaped storage device for pirated games. They were a big Hit with the normal ds, and even though they were illegal, many children's parents bought them for their kids, as they didn't know they were illegal. Well Technically the device it's self is not illegal, it's the .nds games you download to your pc and put on the R4i That are.

Here is a video of it in action.




What other features does this have?

It can allow you to play Homebrew Games. Yes that's right, if your a good enough dev you can make your own games! It may also be possible for gamers to make there own 3D movies , as the R4i can take full advantage of all three working cameras.

Original Speech: PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 21, 2011 – You must login or register to view this content. released the New Card -- R4i SDHC 3DS Card on 20 March ,2011. The R4i 3DS Card support N3DS /NDSi XL / NDSi / NDSL /NDS . Please Notice : the former N3DS Card ([url]www.n3dscard.com[/url]) and R4i-SDHC 3DS Card are from r4i-sdh.com .

The R4i-SDHC 3DS card inherits all the features of the previous R4i SDHC and R4 SDHC. All the existing data and programmes used on the R4i SDHC and R4 SDHC can be directly copied and used on the R4i-SDHC 3DS card for the 3DS console.

Besides watching the 2D movies, playing musics, browsing pictures, playing homebrew games, surfing the internet & chatting online, the most attractive feature of the R4i-SDHC 3DS card or other similar 3DS flashcart is the possibility of making full use of the Nintendo 3DS' 3D graphics and features. Gamers all know that the 3DS console has three cameras, with two in the front. Not only that the 3DS console can play 3D games, it also opens up a possibility for gamers to make their own 3D movies! Making your own 3D movie and uploading the 3D movie to youtube may not be a distant possibility. The possibility will only become true with the help from gamers all around the world, i.e. via homebrew development. That will in turn require gamers to be able to run and execute the applications in 3DS mode. Flashcart would be able to open up the Pandora box of the 3DS console.

Speech II: Y’know, it’s always confused me why the R4 carts are abbreviated thus – then I realised that I was missing something very obvious. R4, R x 4; RRRR. Say it out loud as one word, go on – rrrr. You sound like a pirate, don’t you? And what sort of illegal activity is associated with these things? Exactly. Or perhaps it’s the four ‘r’s – reading, writing, arithmetic, and piracy. What? ‘Arithmetic’ doesn’t start with an ‘r’ either, so leave me alone.

Anyway, the excuse for the hilarious (ahem) jokes above is that a new R4 card has been developed and now released for the 3DS – the snappily titled R4i-SDHC 3DS Card. Peter has already reported that an R4 card has been filmed working on the 3DS, but this new one promises a little more. It apparently works on all versions of the normal DS, and “existing data and programmes” from previous versions of the card can be carried over. The R4i-SDHC 3DS Card (I really love that name) is advertised as a way into the inner workings of the 3DS, however.


Wouldn't it be ironic if this were to be the first 3DS game to be illegaly copied? Wouldn't it? Eh? Oh, please yourselves.

The iffily translated press release suggests that home-made 3D movies could now be possible: “Gamers all know that the 3DS console has three cameras, with two in the front. Not only that the 3DS console can play 3D games, it also opens up a possibility for gamers to make their own 3D movies! Making your own 3D movie and uploading the 3D movie to youtube may not be a distant possibility. The possibility will only become true with the help from gamers all around the world, i.e. via homebrew development.”

Ominously, it then goes on to say: “That will in turn require gamers to be able to run and execute the applications in 3DS mode. Flashcart would be able to open up the Pandora box of the 3DS console”. The implication of course goes beyond the grey area of homebrew games and applications, and into the realm of fully illegal reverse engineering of software.

Just in case you’re thinking of buying one of these things, it’s worth remembering that (a) they’re officially illegal in some areas of the world (including the UK), and (b) Nintendo have already threatened to brick 3DS systems that they detect are running software they don’t like the looks of.

Personally i myself am not getting a Ds as i find they get boring over time. And to be honest i just don't have the time or money at the moment. I am very shocked to see piracy even before the hand held console has been officially released (Nintendo Fail)
