Now available from R4i.co.uk, the next generation of R4i cards is operable under v1.4 of the Nintendo DSi Firmware.
Quite why people upgraded their Nintendo DSi from an earlier firmware to v1.4 mystifies us here and it rendered earlier R4i Adapter Cards unusable in anything but a DSi up to v1.3.
We are still determining whether earlier cards can be brought to life on a v1.4, but we are doubtful given that the focus has been on developing a new card (with ‘v1.4′ Star emblazoned on the label to show v1.4 DSi compatibility).
At this time, we believe that the best (pragmatic?) solution will be to buy a new entry level R4i Adapter and re-use your micro-SD card … after all, it already contains your personal games, tools and multimedia.
The motto …. don’t upgrade your Nintendo DSi Firmware unless the updates are important enough for you to accept that you may break the functionality of your R4i card.
At a minimum. wait a week or two and research what effect a DSi Firmware upgrade has had for others before you commit.
