I will be receiving one of these in a few days, so I'll tell you more then.

I doubt it mate, they don't even know how it will look like then. They don't care if the AK2i won't work on US/EU devices because they will just make another card and sell even more. The only reason why a few teams care a bit more about their users and that is because that they buy stuff from them, nothing else. Sadly it's not about being friendly.

Narin said:Just a heads up, its very unlikely a flashcart will be able to load DSiWare and DSi only games due to the way they are handled. The games and DSiWare are encrypted and signed, meaning that the flashcart can not access the data, retrieve the headers or patch the games as they get loaded into memory to run the game.
So all in all, a flashcart on the DSi will let you play only DS games. So in the end, you'll just have a DS with no GBA slot x.x
At any rate, I hope to hear further news on all this. If somehow the flashcart makers can over come these problems (The encryption and firmware updates) then I'll buy a DSi. Until then, I'll wait until the battle between Nintendo and the pirates are over and see who will come out the victor before I waste any money on this.

Narin said:People have already dumped the firmware. You can even download it from the Nintendo servers if you are technically inclined enough to do so. The problem is, its all futile. The firmware, the DSiWare files and just about everything else is encrypted and digitally signed. Meaning its impossible to edit the firmware or read it in anyway unless the encryption is broken which I don't see happening any time soon. Nintendo is using government grade encryption and signing similar to what sites use to manage secure connections.playallday said:Wait!!! Now someone can dump the firmware!
Hey, that's not a bad idea! It should be really easy to implement; just booting a cartridge shouldn't be too hard.Vague Rant said:Are there any plans for the Acekard 2i to include the card swapping functionality seen in this video of the iPas?
The card basically boots another (non-DSi) flash card, so older generation flash cards can be used. I don't really have any plans to get a DSi, but the ability to use the Acekard 2i for general use and swap to another card for specialist stuff (real-time save, in-game guide, etc.) would instantly improve the AK2i's featureset.
