Hacking Acekard 2i for 3DS

[Proloser]

Hey guys! I've got a problem with my Acekard when I try to update it with the 3DS fix.

It says it completes succesfully, but when I run it theres a black screen, then it flashes 'loading' on the screen and goes black again. I can un-brick it by using Mum's DS Lite to wipe the Acekard's flash memory (right terms?). It goes like this every time (done it 3 times now). I'm using the official update off Acekard.com, so I'm starting to think my Acekard is a fake one (although it worked when I did the DSi fix). It's a HW8181 or whatever, not the HW4444 which I read doesn't work with the fix (I'm probably wrong).

Any help would be great

What's the firmware version of your 3DS?

What's the firmware version of your 3DS?

My firmware is 4.3.0-10E. FYI, it does the same flashy trick on my DSi, and Mum's DS Lite.

Format your micro sd card and you should get a NDSL and another flashcard(such as : ak2i ,dstwo,r4i sdhc or any one card ,here i called “A”), which works properly on NDSL.

1.Download the latest A card firmware ,and unzip them,open the folder and copy the root files into your micro sd card.
2.download ak2i updated patch and unzip it,open the folder , you will get following files _akaio files ,ak2ifw_update_3ds30_dsi144_onDSi_DSXL_3DS.nds , as well as ak2ifw_update_3ds30_dsi144_onDSL.nds.
3.Just copy ak2ifw_update_3ds30_dsi144_onDSL.nds to your Micro SD card;
4.Just power your NDSL on and boot up ak2ifw_update_3ds30_dsi144_onDSL.nds. with “A” card;
5.Take “A” card out of the NDSL;
6.Reinsert your broken ak2i into the NDSL;
7.Press KEY_A and the updating process will begin;
8.You should keep your NDSL powered on during the updating process;
9.IF the result shows SUCCESS, it means you have updated your acekard 2i 3ds successfully and this card can work on

I got it working! I hadn't bricked my Acekard, all that was wrong was the AKIO firmware I had was too old to run on my 3DS. I formatted my card and put the new AKIO on it and it's all working now

Thanks again for the help, guys
