This is not a simple answer... let me explain:
If you have updated your DSi to version 4.0 then you CANNOT because this update will have blocked cards such as R4 etc.
If you HAVE NOT updated your DSi to version 4.0 then there are two explanations.
The R4 card will not work because they only work on NDS/NDSLs.
However, you can use cards built for DSi like the AceCard and the DSTTI card.

No, the R4 for the DS will not work on the DSi
It won't work because the technology is different. And IT IS LEGAL CAUSE U HAVE 2 BUY IT! There are many r4 dsi cards in the world. They support Nintendo DSi and DS console.
you can't. It just won't work with the newdsi the problem is that the dsi blocks anything that tries to bypass the main menu like an action replay, r4, m3 , tt and others (all don't work) the only way to make an r4 work on the dsi is to somehow flash the r4 and rewrite the boot function, which is what they did with the r4dsi and other dsi flash carts. P.S. i wouldn't buy a new "dsi flash cart" until i knew that it would work with dsiware, dsi-enhanced and dsi-exclusive games. happy hacking!
R4 has released a firmware update. So just put the newer one on your r4 card and it will work.
Only if you buy a R4i DS.If you have DSi Firmaware 1.4 , you will need to make sure the box says "v1.4!" Original R4 DS card can't work on DSi. There are many r4 dsi card in the world. which can run on Nintendo DSiXL, DSiLL, DSi, DS and DS lite.
