Just a few things I would like to confirm before i buy the r4i gold 3ds card for my 3ds xl, just for a peace of mind (while youre there): - It works with any DS or 3DS ROM out there? - I just need to download all those ROMs into a Micro SD and stick it in to the flash card and it should work like magic? - StreetPass access will still work with the game ROMs? - I read in some of the articles that theres a chance that my 3DS XL might be bricked if something goes wrong with playing from a Flash card, is this true?
r4i gold 3ds can just support nds rom, at present only gateway can work on 3ds rom . yeah, you still need buy a micro sd card to install kernel firmware, games and so on and streetpass access will still work with the game roms.If you need, this store provided preflashed r4i gold 3ds for N3DSXL : http://www.modchipfactory.com/wood-r4i-gold-3ds-flash-cart-for-3ds-xl-3ds-dsi-and-ds-lite-p-1.html
only gateway 3ds support play 3ds roms, so if you want to play 3ds games, get the gateway 3ds. and gateway 3ds cannot use directly, you need flash it, the gateway official has User manuals. gateway 3ds only support 3ds xl v4.5 version, so if your console is update to the latest v6.3, you cannot use it. confirm your console first.
