Let me guess

Acekard team: We are going to wait after next nintendo update(the one who fix the ride racer problem) and we will release the hw44 fix, its has been tested and working!

After next update: A new update is released for HW44!

Users: Still not working...

Of course not. They want you to buy a new card. You bought yours too long ago.

it's a 12 dollar card with no advertised upgradable feature.

let me repeat that for you complaining HW44 people:

THE FACT YOU CAN FLASH THIS CARTRIDGE TO MAKE IT KEEP WORKING ON NEW FIRMWARES IS NOT EVEN ADVERTISED AS A FEATURE FOR THE ACEKARD

i love it, i'm glad they came through on their "waiting until the 3DS update to make sure what we've done for 1.4.2 and 3DS will still work" method. worth the wait.

HWID 81 here.

I had the auto-cancel issue, so I just blew into the card and MicroSD slot and it worked.

I like the new icon, and the "oh noez japanese icon in mah logs" people can stop worrying now. Chess is a game people will play for hours at a time.

Only got a DSi here, but since my DSTwo, R4i Gold, and AK2i are all now updated I might as well update to 1.4.2.

Every time I try to run the update on my DSi it loads saying the update was cancelled.

Sounds like the same issue you had Rydian, but I've tried blowing in the slots a couple times and nothing has changed for me.

acekard.com

"Acekard 2i---Perfect Flash Cart For 3DS and DSi!"
"Supports 3DS, DSi, DSl and DSXL!"

Then ask them to change that for:

"Acekard 2i---Perfect Flash Cart For 3DS and DSi! EXCEPT HW44"
"Supports 3DS, DSi, DSl and DSXL! EXCEPT HW44"

And of course, its also advertised HW44 work with last update when its false.

Make sure you're not holding ANY buttons at all (nor the D-pad) after you press A to run the update file from within AKAIO.

If that still doesn't do it, back up your MicroSD, format it, and install a clean copy of AKAIO 1.8.7 and the update file, nothing else.

Fortunately a family member has a DSL so I was able to use that to update without any problems. It's a workaround, but it works. Thanks for the help regardless.

It happens the same to me!

Do I really need a DSL? :S

Try putting the update file in a folder, not in the root folder.

I updated from my 3DS using the DSi file and it updated successfully

I put the update file inside my games folder and it didn't work.

I then tried to copy the update file to a different folder and root and both ways worked!

Thanks

I've made the acekard flash, on my 3DS, despite the "update was cancelled" bug.

First, there is a minor bug where, once the dsi version updater launches, it immediately thinks you clicked a button other than start, causing it to cancel the update.

All you have to do to make it work is continuously press start while the updater is launching.

I accidentally selected the "update another flashcart" option and then panicked and turned it off. I know Im an idiot and it's my fault, the Acekard2i wont even show anything anymore on the boot screen of DS lite or 3ds. It lets me select it, but it just boots to a white screen.

Is it screwed?

re-apply the update to your acekard with another working card

How are you guys updating the acekard "from" your 3DS? My acekard won't boot on my 3DS so I can't run any update files from it
