Wow!!
I missed this change with the latest December R4i DSi Adapter Firmware upgrades.
For R4i cards (v1.4) or for R4 cards manufactured since November, they now have the capability to search for and download games backups on the move via Wireless hotspots and have them playable on your DS.
There is a glitch at present that means that you need to do this via either an un-secured network (e.g. Wireless hotspot) or a network using WEP protection. Furthermore we also note that it will not connect to a Network using the N standard, however we expect all this to be fixed in a further firmware upgrade.
We have tried it out ourselves and it works beautifully.
A (free) license identifier on your DS and on Windows PC Downloadable software identifies your download queue and this means that the DS games can be downloaded to your DSI AND your PC.
So, in future if you forget to load your favourite game, then provided you have access to a hotspot you can download it directly to your DSi card wherever you are in the world.
Remember that this will only work with official R4i DSi Adapter cards. R4i.co.uk whom we exclusively recommend here have always supplied us with official cards when we have purchased them (and this is now uniquely verifiable through ‘truth inquiry’ labels that can be checked at http://www.r4i-sdhc.com)
Important: We must repeat that although games can be downloaded freely using the information available at http://www.r4i-sdhc.com and installing cards supplied via the preferred merchant listeds here, it is a violation of copyright to play a game which you have not purchased.
