This is AK2i。

This is the first type of AK2 and AK2i. It has a window in the shell.

Please notice the banner of the chip which AK2 and AK2i used. It called "Actel".


This is the second type of AK2 and AK2i. There's no window in the shell anymore.


Chip inside:

We're selling this type of no window now.

The chip on PCB of two types of the AK2 and AK2i.


This is another side of PCB.


AK2 and AK2i both use the chip of "SST" and it's 48 pins. Some batches of AK2 used other banners of 48 pins chips. But all AK2i use this "SST" 48 pins chip.

Conclusion: 1. The chip on the back of the PCB is "Actel" or little black glue circle. This is very important.

2. The chip on another side of PCB is a 48 pins chip of "SST". Some batches of AK2 used other banners of 48 pins chips. But they're all 48 pins.

3. Please refer to the 2 items above as the main symbol of real AK2 and AK2i because the package of retail had changed many times.

You can find the update file at www.acekard.com/download.php#ak2.

As you know we're working on the issue of AK2i can't run on EUR DSi if the language of DSi is not set to English. We've made some progress on it. Now we can update Ak2i fits for all languages of DSi.
The update file is going to update the firmware and hardware.There may be some issues that we do not found. So we'd like to ask some volunteers, about 10 volunteers, to help us for testing the update file.
But for now the update file can be only used on Ak2i with "HWID 81". You can find the HWID at start menu->help. Those cards are all started to sell before 1st April. We've another HWID of "44". We're working on it and the update file for HWID 44 will be released soon.

If you're interesting in it please send us a Email to acekard#gmail.com with the title "Ak2i update file request" and please attach a picture of your AK2i. We'll send back the update file to the first 10 person. Please make sure you've a AK2i with HWID "81" before you send the email.

In theory the update file won't be any harmful if you do not shut down your DSi when updating. But we still will replace the carts for volunteers if the cart is broken. Thank you.

This is a lab work, it works ONLY in LAB. Even though we can go this far, it is almost impossible to make a commercial product.
There is a major problem that can't be resolved, at least for now.It seems DSi did many sanity checks to make sure there is no more fcards.
we will keep researching and good luck to all.

btw: we assume there are more than one modes on DSi, we still haven't found any way to access the SD card slot in origin DS mode.
