Can You Use a PSP Memory Stick in a Nintendo DSi? No — They're Incompatible

No. They are physically and electrically incompatible.

Comparison

FeaturePSP Memory Stick (Pro Duo)Nintendo DSi (SD Card Slot)
Form Factor31.0 x 20.0 x 1.6 mm (Pro Duo)SD / SDHC (32 x 24 x 2.1 mm)
Pinout / ProtocolSony Serial / Parallel (Memory Stick)SD Bus (SPI / 1-bit / 4-bit SD)
Voltage3.3V / 1.8V (Pro Duo)3.3V / 1.8V (SDHC)
KeyingSingle notch (corner)Two notches (asymmetric)

The DSi only accepts standard SD (≤2GB) and SDHC (4GB–32GB) cards. It does not support Memory Stick, microSD (without adapter), or xD-Picture Card.

Solution: Buy an SD/SDHC card (Class 4 or 10 recommended) for DSi. For PSP, use Memory Stick Pro Duo (Mark 2 / Pro-HG for speed). Adapters (MS-to-SD) exist but are unreliable and not recommended for save data.
