Color White

  • Plays Nintendo DS ROMs on all DS and 3DS family consoles
  • Supports 3DS firmware versions 1.0 through 11.6
  • Requires microSD card up to 32 GB formatted FAT32
  • Connects via USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 interfaces
  • Official kernel download available from 2014 release page

Compatibility Range

This adapter works with DS, DSi, 2DS, 3DS and New 3DS consoles running firmware from 1.0 to 11.6. It is intended for owners of those handhelds who want to run Nintendo DS ROMs from a single cartridge slot.

Setup Requirements

You need a microSD card no larger than 32 GB formatted as FAT32 with a Class 4 to 10 speed rating. The kernel must be downloaded from the maker's site and its four files placed in the card's root directory before first use.

Upgrade Scope

The card replaces original DS game cartridges for ROM playback only; it cannot run 3DS ROMs. The jump is worthwhile if you want a multi-game library on one cartridge and your console firmware falls within the supported range.

Questions about this item

Does the R4I SDHC Dual Core adapter come with a microSD card or do I need to buy one separately?

A microSD card is not included. You must supply your own card up to 32 GB, formatted FAT32, preferably Class 4–10 speed.

The title mentions DS, DSi, 2DS, 3DS and New 3DS — will this white adapter work on all of them?

Yes, it supports every DS-family console running firmware 1.0 through 11.6, including DSi, 2DS, 3DS and New 3DS models.

The kernel download link references 2014 — what does that mean for real-world use today?

The 2014 kernel enables NDS ROM playback on supported consoles up to firmware 11.6; 3DS ROMs are not supported.
