I've been having a bit of trouble finding out how to handle this for my particular setup. I have an O3dsXL with Arm9LoaderHax running the latest version of Luma CFW, and an AceKard 2i (labeled as 3DS compatible) with a totally fresh Micro SD card for it. I want to get the AceKard working on my system. I've seen threads about things like FlashCardTimeWarp and other similar methods, but I'm unsure about the best way of going about doing this with A9LH/Luma, especially with regard to where I want to be installing stuff (ReiNand/SysNand/EmuNand distinctions confuse me) If anyone can please give me instructions for how to proceed or link me to the appropriate resources I would appreciate it.
As long as the Acekard 2i has had its bootloader updated once (which it should since it has the 3DS label on it), it should work on any 3DS with the latest Luma, regardless of being on A9LH or menuhax. Download the latest system software for it, dump it on your Acekard SD card along with your roms and you should be good to go: http://www.akaio.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1080&f=8&sid=2688581d50c7d7121b9f849a02b6f35b

It isn't an issue because Luma automatically patches the TWL firm (the software that plays DS games and blocks flashcards) to allow all 3DS compatible flashcards to be able to be played. If you have a flashcard that worked on ANY revision of the 3DS, it will work with Luma enabled. There are also ways to get non-3DS compatible DS flashcards played on the 3DS but that is beyond the scope of this thread.
Pretty odd it isn't working for you since I have the same exact card and it works flawlessly with luma and a9hl.
Sorry to jump in but was an original R4 Ds card supported at one time on the 3DS? I just found my old R4 that has the Wood firmware installed but it won't work on my a9lh/luma Jp n3ds. I get a black screen, which basically tells me to power of the system. Any ideas why?
same issues randomly works shows up as normal game now and againMy acekard2i, only works with TWL Slot-1 Launcher
The original R4 never supported the 3DS, so you will need this to use it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/r4-stage2-twl-flashcart-launcher-and-perhaps-other-cards-soon™.416434/
If your card was bricked because of updating console before updating Acekard 2i you might want to check this out: http://gbatemp.net/threads/unbricking-acekard-2i-w-3ds-and-a9lh-cfw.421745/
I know your card is not bricked because it works with that app. Maybe this helps you using acekard 2i without needing TWL Slot 1 launcher.
I have 2 Acekard 2i cards and both cards work without the need of that program.

Mine didn't work by default either, also on Luma. Not sure why. Maybe because it was a "new" 3DSXL? I'm on the newest Luma.
Either way, I fixed it by using the 2 cia files from Gateway, the blue card fix and the other one. It worked after that. Maybe try that?

Had this issue myself on N3DS/A9LH and solved it by following this guide - http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Updating_the_AK2i_Bootloader
The bootloader is separate from AKAIO, so make sure both are on the latest version

This fixed it for me, was driving me crazy, rapidly popped it in and out several times and it showed up. Thank you!
