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!

No, the DSi's anti-piracy functionality stops R4's being used.
No, the R4 for the DS will not work on the DSi
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.
you can use a r4 for ds lites but with dsi's there is a different type of r4 sorry i dont know the name of it
An r4i can let you back up the games that you already have (please note an r4i only works on a dsi and dsi XL if you do not have a dsi or a dsi XL you will have to get a normal r4 but do not be sad a normal r4 cando everything an r4 can).
