    Gaming Firmware Update Compilation thread / List of Flashcards working on 3DS

    Well I went and bought a DS Phat on ebay, but the update patch still won't work :-( Can you explain (in detail - sorry I'm quite new to all this) how you updated using an NDS Phat? This is what I did: - 1. Used an old R4 card to run the "R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSL.nds" patch using my...

    Gaming Firmware Update Compilation thread / List of Flashcards working on 3DS

    I'm struggling to update my r4ids.cn R4i Gold 3DS card with the new patch. I have a DS Lite and a 3DS that's currently version 4.2.0-9E. I've tried everything, both files (R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSi.nds and R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSL.nds) using both consoles. But no luck. Every time...

    Hacking AKAIO 1.9.0 + New Loaders

    Ahhhh! I think the penny's finally dropped! lol I wasn't properly ditinguishing between the firmware on the Micro SD card and the firmware on the Acekard itself. I didn't realise that once you updated the bootloader on the Acekard, the firmware on the card is forever changed. So no matter what...

    Hacking AKAIO 1.9.0 + New Loaders

    Thanks for the link, it's a great post. I think I'm starting to get it all :blink: So my Acekard2i (which is hardware version 81) must have come with a bootloader that was compatible with my 3DS when I bought it (version 1.0.0-0, I think?), otherwise surely it wouldn't have worked with just...

    Hacking AKAIO 1.9.0 + New Loaders

    Ok, I'll make sure she knows never to update her system (and I'll try to remember not to update mine too!) But still, do you know what the highest version of a DSi and 3DS it is that works using AKAIO 1.9.0 without a bootloader update? I know for example that AKAIO 1.8.9 worked on my 3DS...

    Hacking AKAIO 1.9.0 + New Loaders

    Random question... with the new AKAIO 1.9.0 firmware, what is the highest version of DSi and 3DS it will work on without needing an Acekard bootloader update file? AKAIO released it July 5th so does that mean any DSi 1.4.4 or lower and any 3DS 4.0.0-7 or lower? Because Acekard released a...

    Can you elaborate on this for me? I don't know what you mean by "swap outside the systems menu". Sorry for being a noob

    Hacking Acekard 2i 1.4.4 Update Available Now

    ok, i suppose that makes sense... once updated the card will work on any console, but the update file needs to be slightly different depending on the type of console you install it on. but why is it then that the AKAIO firmware is one file fits all whereas the update needs different files...
