Hi,

i got 1x New Nintendo 3DS (fw 10.28)
1x New Nintendo 3DS XL (fw 9.5)
1x Nintendo 2DS (fw 8.x)

I try moving the latest files from ace3ds website but i only get this error message (look at picture)

What am I doing wrong?

Is that a NDS flashcard? If so it will either need to be updated assuming there is an update for it or you have to do some hacking to replace the whitelist to get it booting again, or get a better flashcard like the DSTwo

Yes,

Its a NDS flashcard... From official website it states it works up to latest 10.3x FW.

I cant see any updates/hacks to make it work...

If someone have knowledge of howto i would appreciate it alot..

Did Nintendo block Ace3ds in some FW?

Never heard of Ace3ds, I'd guess it was yet another generic r4 clone.

Nintendo haven't blocked DS flashcarts since 8.x I believe.

Post a screenshot of both the SD card root directory and the contents of the Ace3ds download. Perhaps it's something "obvious".

It was actually a relevant card back a few years ago because of how cheap it is. But yeah you need to update the card and then it will work with the 3ds.

Golden rule: Upgrade flashcard first, upgrade console afterwards

When you say "upgrade flashcard" you mean put the latest FW files on the flashcard?

Iv done just that. The flashcard shows a "game" Its called: "Ales Rider Stormbreaker (THQ)". Its when i atemt stor start this to get into flashcard menu i get the above mentioned error as seen on the picture.

I would appreciate on "how" i can upgrade the card?

If you know someone who owns a DS or DS Lite (DSi maybe), you can borrow it and use it to upgrade the card, so that it works with your 3DS.

I think i got a DS somewhere or if i cant find it i know a dude who still have it. So is it only possible to upgrade from DS, DS Lite, DSi?

Im sorry if i seem like a retard =) Iv been doing this since way back. So normaly this is a piece of a cake never had problems with a flashcard neither custom CFW but my New 3ds and N3DS XL are to high fw to do CFW.

i don't know about this card in particular. but i remember with my acekard i had to put the files on the card and then update the card using the files on a 3ds (obviously one with a lower firmware that doesnt give the error) an old DS works too. and that changed what game was shown as the card.

Hi, ok. The thing is on their official website it says it works from the box up to latest FW.

Ill send them an email and maybe they will give instructions how to do it?

Oh, i forgett to mention that?

Its Ace3ds Plus.
you didn't forget to mention it, just wanted to make sure. from their faq

Q: How to update Ace3DS PLUS flashcart ?
A: Currently Ace3DS PLUS can work on the 3DS V9.5.0-22 and DSi V1.45, you don't need to update it when you receive it. If there is a new 3DS or DSi system releases in future, we will release the update patch as soon as possible.

since the latest version is 10.3 or something like that sounds to me like their website is way outdated. their downloads are 2 years out of date. that's around the same time that my acekard stopped getting updates IIRC. i think you can't get it working. except for MAYBE the new 3ds with 9.5 FW

edit: but then another section says

  • Work perfectly on 3DS V10.3.0-28 and DSi V1.45.
so now i don't know what to think. their site is shit.

one thing you can do is try and update it properly. i found this video which shows the general procedure.



you'l need a normal DS for it as i said earlier. it'l probably make it work on the 9.5fw and under ones. perhaps all of them even.

On the guide u sent me it looks like he is only using his 3ds...

But on this other guide he is using a normal DS.

he's using a 3ds because that 3ds's FW is low enough. it's the same procedure whether its done on a 3ds or a DS

it depends.. i had an acecardplus too in the past.
The old revision is NOT(!!!!) compatible with the newer 3ds FW!
There is no Upgrade to make it work!

So if you got an old revision of the card you are in bad luck i guess.
Thats the word the support gave me too back then.
old card works up to 7.X i guess - not quite sure anymore
i gave it away to a friend with a dsi.
