Not compatible with DSi 1.4 Firmware
The R4i Ultra is the first and best R4 DSi flashcard for these new consoles, it was produced by the team that made the R4 Ultra, known as the best R4 card since the original. For those that don’t know, the original R4 team broke up early 2008, since then there have been many other cards made using the R4 name, but most have just been hacks of the original R4 firmware which is now getting extremely outdated and the compatibility is getting worse every day, this is why the original R4i Ultra is the best choice out of all the other R4i DSi flashcard on the market is because they actually are making firmware updates for their card and are not just trying to cash in on the R4i name and never make any future updates for their cards, when buying any card these day’s with the R4i name you really need to be careful that the team that has made them have already made firmware updates and look like they will continue to be making firmware updates, or the card you buy could end up close to useless 6-months to a year after you have bought it, this is why when looking for an R4i DSi flashcard to stock we went with the original and first to be released R4i from the Ultra team, so far they have already made 5 firmware updates since their card was released and we are sure there will be more to come.
The R4i Ultra is your gateway to homebrew games and applications on your DSi console, there are thousands of homebrew games and apps which can do anything from enhance the overall features of the DSi to totally transform the way you use the console. The most popular homebrew app would be the Moonshell media player which allows you to play your mp3 music and also movies in dpg format, moonshell has a set of tools that will allow you to easily convert your videos from mp4 or Avi to dpg. There is also some other really good looking MP3 player homebrew apps that are a little more stylish than Moonshell and have some great features. One of the most popular homebrew apps would be the DS organizer software, it allows you to organize your days or weeks just like a PDA organizer software would, there are also great little apps like the Rpaint painting software and there is even a music making program where you can play the drums. That’s just an example of some of the popular apps, there are tons of great homebrew games as well.
