[DSi] Can you use an original 3ds cart reader to replace a faulty dsi cart reader?

As the title says - I have a dsi with a broken cart reader (it looks like one of the pins is completely gone). There are no cheap dsi cart reader replacements available online, however, there are plenty of cheap original 3ds cart readers available. They also have 17 pins plus 2 on the side. Has anyone tried using a 3ds cart reader on a dsi and what was the outcome? Thanks
