    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I have a New 3DS XL with the latest firmware. I don't care about flashing 3DS games at this point, but I would like to play DS games on it using a flashcard. I still have my old Acekard 2, although I lost my DS Lite. I could presumably just buy a used DSL and go on with my life, but I suppose...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    Another World: Sliding paper underneath the PCB worked for almost half a day before it finally blanked out in the middle of a game. I thought about sliding a fourth sliver of paper in there, but ultimately decided against it in light of your comments about the 2.1's reliability. I will try and...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    Franky, I was a little leery of sliding things under the ak2i's contacts, as I read that too much can possibly cause the contacts in the DS to bend and stop reading retail games. I get sentimental about that thing. Still, recklessly I decided to give it a go as my ticket at RHS is probably going...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    I would be satisfied with the paper trick if it showed some consistency in my particular case. Sometimes the paper works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it works with a square window cut, sometimes it works without one. I got it to function at one point with the paper trick, but then it stopped...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    Yes, the latest AKAIO. Unfortunately, I'm throwing in the towel here. I have been playing it on and off periodically through the day. For a while, I felt confident. Then it stopped mid-game during the last session. I did what I could, including testing out a slightly thicker and slightly...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    Hakoda: It shows up as "Chessmaster" on mine. I read up on the subject and there are three such games that the Ak2i shows up as. Something to do with bootstrap and different updates... I only skimmed it to make sure nothing was wrong with mine. Tiggerlator: I read your post over and never...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    I appreciate your help, Lacius, but after reading through that I think I have had enough. I'm not about to insert paper and plastic into my faithful DS Light I don't know if it's the ak2i or the msd, but either way what I ordered is defective in some part, and I think that's fair grounds for...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    Lacius: I was doing quick formats, but followed your suggestion. I tried the Panasonic's Full Format Overwrite (it would not allow me to to do Full Format Flash Erase if that means anything). Unfortunately, I got a "DS card not inserted message" Then I used Windows full format. Same result...

    Hacking Acekard2i - Constantly corrupting SD card?

    I recently brought a Acekard 2i from RealHotStuff along with a 2GB microSD. The package showed up today and I managed to get the latest AKAIO and some games in. I inserted it into my DS Lite and selected the ChessMaster logo. The Acekard booted up and I played one game. I then used the AKAIO...
