Hi, I'm new to both 3ds and the forum, so I hope I haven't done anything terribly wrong.
I just got a 3ds from amazon, which has firmware 2.1.0-3, and an acekard 2i from chipspain.com, which I had read was reliable (I'm in Europe). I've placed the bootloader updater (ak2ifw_update_3ds30_DSi143_onDSi_and_DSXL_and3DS.nds from acekard.com) in the root of the sd card, and then also latest akaio (from akaio.net) - i.e. the __aio folder and akmenu4.nds files.
So, I fired up the 3ds, clicked on the Dorasu icon, selected "SD card" and then the bootloader updater. I got the blue screen, pressed start but the Progress remained hanged on 0%. After a while, like 10 minutes, I clicked home, closed the program. Now I don't see any icon where I saw the Dorasu one, it's like if no card were inserted. I tried reformatting the sd card and reputting the files on it, but still the Acekard card is not seen.
Have I done something wrong or is my Acerkard a clone/fake? On top of the blue screen it said this of the card: chip id: 0fc2 hw:8181. I've read mixed opinions of this id online, some say it's actually an R4 masked as an Acerkard and were able to flash R4 firmware on it, others say it's genuine Acerkard...
Anyway, can I do something about my card? I only possess this card and the 3ds....
