Old R4 not reading on DSi.
For starters, I'm completely new when it comes to this sort of thing. I've already done some research and reformatted the (2gb) micro SD card in the R4. This is a v1.4 R4 cartridge with the R4i-SDHC.com label from probably a decade ago at this point.
So far my deduction is that this cartridge had worked for the DS Lite series of devices which I do not own anymore. Something about the SD card of the dsi and the R4 cartridge makes reading it fail?
So here's my question. Should I buy a new R4 cartridge or do I have to homebrew my DSi for this to work? What are my options?
