Btw. I've never heard you could do that with 3DS games. I don't even think it's possible because the DSi doesn't have enough power in it to run games like Revelations. Also the screen resolution might become a problem.

I talked to a guy who runs a retro game store near where I live. He was telling me that the DSi has no problems running 3DS games. If you look at a 3DS game cartridge you will notice a little nob at the top, a little piece of plastic. Apparently the entire reason why that nob is there is to force people to buy a 3DS so they can't just play the games on their other DS systems. The cartridge just won't fit with that nob there so you just cut it off, there are no important components there. I haven't tried any of this yet, but I trust his judgement, and knowledge of game systems. He also said he has a friend that does that with a bunch of 3DS games.

Perhaps I'll buy a cheap $5.00CDN game and try it out. That way I can let you guys know.
