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 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!
