OP
I ordered an AceKard 2i mainly for ntrboot, but then I found out that it will work on my Original DS while ntrboot is flashed, so I went ahead and downloaded the firmware (AKAIO 1.8.3). I really would like to go ahead and run the flashcard software and configure it on my CFW 3DS, as the flashcard will take a couple months to arrive. I tried using TWiLight Menu++, but it didn't work (Error 1: nds-bootstrap not found) even though I have nds-bootstrap... I would assume that I need software that comes on the flashcard itself, so how do I get this or run the flashcard firmware some other way?

my experince in using the AK2i for NTRBoot and trying to fix it for Normal functionality after when we still delt w/ A9LH, is depending on how often it was updated (you had it since day one and updated the card every single step of the way,) it generally did not restore properly.. At all. using Decrypt9 didnt help much. (it may still work but you could see wrong cart icons, not launching properly, not being detected, etc)

If you want normal flashcart functionality, a usally good card will be the R4i 3DS (the ones w/ teh gold label ) tend to be cheap. otherwise if your OG DS is actually a DSi, look into HiyaCFW & Twilight Menu++

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
