Do all SD flashcards work for the DSi?

No. I've heard of people having problems with some SD cards.

I think you might have to format the card first. I can't remeber which format though. D:

I think all cards made by ScanDisk work.

What is the largest capacity 2gig, 4 gig, or 8 gig. And which of the 2 work the best, SDHC or just the SD card.

Any size will work but you can only have 2GB of data in any folder. SDHC cards are any SD card that can hold more than 2GB.

Mines a 2GB Kingston SD strait from my camera and it works perfectly fine. I heard all SD cards under 4GB work...

Then why can up to 32GB (who would pay for one like that anyway) work? I think all cards work if they're in the right format, which most are defaultly set to.

Yeah, any size works. I'm using a 2GB Dane-Elec SD card. To tell you the truth, I'm kind of disappointed by the functionality of the SD card for the DSi. Since you can only use it to play music, store photos, and store games. You can't actually play games off the SD card, and that completely defeats the purpose for me... Though Nintendo does indeed stretch out the internal 256MB.

They'll probably do it when necessary. I doubt there's even enough stuff availableto fill up system memory.

You're probably right, since the downloads so far are only a couple megabytes. Although if they do release a VC or something along the lines of that, it may be smart to implement that feature via software update.
