Can Gba games work on DSi with an R4i?

yes, i mean that the R4 can't find any compatible .nds files.

thats because its not compatible with flashcarts.

you can't unless you have a slot-2 flash-cart like the EZ 3 in 1 expansion pack

DSi does not have a slot 2.

iPlayer sucks anyways... it can only play homebrew or small games, so he bought the AceKard courtesy of me ;D.

I've heard rumors of nintendo making a wireless GBA slot,which would allow slot-2's to work,i guess. But then again,rumors are indeed rumors.Does Mario Paint work with well with most SNES emus for flashcarts?

wont happen, wireless is incapable of providing the required datarate

cool! i love wireless things! but can it play on dsl then ??? (i think if it is released, its meant for dsi... but i dont think the gba`s do it on the best... lol :D and others it been on nintendo-website but there is standing nothing...

The dsi's RAM far exceeds the capabilities for running GBAs. It can easily load a GBA game to its RAM, with plenty of space to spare. I don't see why it wouldn't be able to load GBAs wirelessly.Pokewalker is wireless and shares data with the ds,so why not?

you evidently have no idea of how much data is involved. Pokewalker data will be mere bytes.

I don't know. I heard it'll be tied to a downloadable application,but again..My source is unreliable.Pojo.com is full of idiots.

Really? I figured a loaded GBA game used no more than 16 MB,but I could be wrong.I also was under the impression that the DSi had roughly 256 MBs of RAM.But again,I could be wrong.

That's internal flash memory, 240MB main, 16MB reserved. The actual main RAM is only 16MB.

Impossible, you even can't get into DSi memory! how can you install software if you cant get into? SD-card maybe, but i don't think Nintendo makes something like that...

i would think not because it dosent have a gba slot and generally you cant play gba on slot 1 carts.
that was the info i was given when i bought my r4 for 'normal' ds

no slot 1 carts can play GBA roms. There is a slot 1 device called the iplayer, which can, but its technically not a flashcart.
