Nice find! The DS with an R4i card still holds up surprisingly well for old-school fun. I’ve seen people record DS gameplay and make awesome montages using CapCut — it’s a great way to mix nostalgia with modern editing tools Capcut (https://thecupcut.com/).

That’s a great discovery! Playing retro games on your DS again is such a throwback. If you ever record gameplay or show off your setup, you can use CapCut to edit short clips — it’s perfect for adding music, transitions, and effects to your retro gaming videos.

Wow, version 1.4.2 — that’s old school! You might not get RetroArch working directly, but you can definitely emulate old systems using dedicated apps. It’s all about using lightweight emulators that fit the DS’s limits.

Nice throwback! If your R4i-3DS is still working, that’s gold. You can load up some DS homebrew or light emulators like GameYob for GB/GBC or nesDS for NES titles. It’s amazing how much these little systems can still do!

That’s awesome! It’s always nostalgic finding an old DS that still works — especially with an R4i-3DS card! As for RetroArch, it’s mostly supported on the 3DS rather than the original DS due to hardware limitations. The classic DS doesn’t have enough power or homebrew support for full RetroArch functionality. However, you can still run emulators and homebrew apps directly through your R4i card — just look for DS-specific emulators like Lameboy (Game Boy), NESDS, or SNEmulDS. They work surprisingly well for retro gaming!
