    Hacking Help please - Acekard 2i ntrboot via NDS lite

    Halle-***ing-lujah! :yay3ds: It was definitely the contact! The contacts on the acekard were too low down in the plastic cartridge. i tried to shim under the PCB to raise them as suggested in the guide but that just raised the middle contacts, without raising the edges. In the end I (bear...

    Hacking Help please - Acekard 2i ntrboot via NDS lite

    Right, so it should definitely show on the home menu?? Even if on v11.6? What does it show as, and acekard symbol or what? I think this might be the problem, I don't think the 3ds if reading the card. I was looking at this page https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Solving_Acekard_2i_Contact_Issues...

    Hacking Help please - Acekard 2i ntrboot via NDS lite

    well i'm totally stumped then. I read on another thread that sometimes it's hard to make contact with the n3sxl and the acekard - I tried putting a paper shim behind it but no difference. If you look side on between the acekard and a regular game cart the contacts do look a bit higher up on...

    Hacking Help please - Acekard 2i ntrboot via NDS lite

    actually i did try to flash it again. The acekard still keeps working in the NDS after flashing - or so I understand? Mine still works fine using Akaio on the NDS so I tried to reflash with ntrboot - same result as last time, seems to be successful, but still no luck when trying to boot it in...

    Hacking Help please - Acekard 2i ntrboot via NDS lite

    Well not 100% sure - is there a way to verify? The flash process on the ds lite went fine I think.. selected inject ntrboothax, took a minute or so to get to 100% and then I hit ok and ejected it. When I put the flashcart into the 3ds should it show up on the home menu? Because I get nothing...

    Hi, I'm trying to do the ntrboot hack on my n3dsxl running v11.6. I have an Acekard 2i and a DS Lite so I'm following the guide for "flashing-ntrboot-(nds)". The Acekard 2i is HW81 (confirmed via the Akaio help menu). I've followed all the instructions, flashed the flashcard, put the files...
