I did both but the card worked after i upgraded it to 1.7. upgrading the DSi is what messed things up. i think i found a solution. a site said to download ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds file. i am trying it now.
I upgraded to the latest firmware on my DSi and now my Acekard with AKAIO 1.7 firmware no longer works. Any solutions for a the stupid test that I tried on a working system.
Thanks!
