The R4i allows you to take a fairly specialized device as it originally was and transform it into a device with which you can do almost everything.
Imagine being able to carry a single device that would replace many devices at the same time. Well, with the R4i you can do exactly that; it will revolutionize the way you use your console and allow you to fully enjoy all the benefits that a DSi console owner can experience.
With the R4i, you no longer need to be limited to one type of game on your DS console; thanks to the R4i, you can now play what are known as "homebrew" games. These homebrew games can be found online and are specifically designed for the Nintendo DS console series. Usually available for free download, these games, as the name suggests, have been created by someone with computer knowledge at home and often offer great entertainment.
Not only will you be able to play homebrew games, but also any other media file you can imagine: the latest movies, photos, and songs on your console, not to mention the latest bestsellers, which can be played on the wonderful screen that the DSi console features. Currently, the R4i is compatible with the latest Nintendo DSi, DSi XL, DS, and DS Lite consoles, along with the latest firmware versions for these. This is due to continuous updates from the R4i team, which ensure that your R4i will continue to work flawlessly in the future.
