Im having a problem with this update

I updated it thru a DS and used the DSi.nds
After it was done updating, I put it on my dsi and the dannyphanton icon was there and It booted perfectly

Ahh finally it bypassed 1.4. but when it comes time to load a game, I click the game and it just gets stuck on the loading icon, Is anyone expierencing this problem or know a solution, thanks appreciate it.

UPDATE: It turns out that it was the AKAIO, im using v1.4.1, I tried the regular official Acekard RPG v4.18, and the games are loading again

I like AKAIO however, does a different version need to be used?

I think u used the wrong file! If you want to update using your DSi (It has to be v1.3x or lower) use the File DSi.nds. But if you want to update using your DS Lite or DS Phat, use the file DSL.nds . hope that helped

Edit- OH No! he already made it work! Oh well... there was no point of making this comment then...

I'm tired of all the "WHO CARES ABOUT THE ICON????" posts.

I'll tell you who cares, I do. And many other people, probably.
So much so, in fact, that I'd rather stay on firmware 1.3 and keep the icon.

I don't want to turn my DSi on, and I don't want others to use my DSi, and be greeted with a Danny Phantom icon... Any Nintendo game would have been fine... Why THQ?

Does a freaking icon that YOU'LL SEE FOR 10 BLOODY SECONDS really matter THAT FREAKING MUCH that you're willing to NOT update, and instead stay on 1.3X!? It's a damn icon, dude! I wouldn't have complained if it was for Petz: Horsez or something. AT LEAST THE DAMN THING WORKS, RIGHT? RIGHT!? You don't make the firmware, nor the loads, nor the kernal, nor anything else on the Acekard. All you do is use it, and maybe make homebrew for it. You have absolutely no right to complain.

And why not a Nintendo game? Because Nintendo is much, much more likely to sue them for copyright infringement then THQ is. Now do we really want that? No. So stop freaking complaining about something you see for 10 motherflipping seconds. Either that, or go make your own update for it, with a superdeduper supersecretlyspecial icon that you can fangasm all over when you see it.

And still Nothing, Nada,Niente, Gar nichts, ?? ??, Ekkert, Sweet Frick all! and Nowt yet from the ZERO TEAM the creators of the first fully updatable without another console card!!!

You meant "The first after Supercard". They released Supercard DS One i before.

About the used icons (AK2i & EZVi):
Maybe they bought the rights of this cheap games. Then it would be legal to use the icon and the game code.
But that's just what I am thinking.

I'm really, really sorry for asking such a stupid question.

But it's the first time I've hard to update a flash card.

Is this going to work if I follow these directions for my AceKard2i. I have a 1.2E DSi.

1) Download the file (should contain 2 files within).
2) Copy the "ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds" file to the AceKard2i
3) Boot it on my 1.3u DSi (In My Case - 1.2E)
4) Run the AceKart, then execute the "ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds" file
5) Read the warning about the possible bricking of your kart (standard stuff there), and press start to confirm.
6) Reboot after it tells you to.. after which.. you will find the Danny Phantom icon
7) Update the DSi (1.3u) to 1.4u (In My Case 1.2E to 1.4E)

Will that work fine?

I'm guessing so, but after sifting through the first few pages of this topic I haven't seen any instructions.

nikochanr3 · Aug 18, 2009

Yes, it will. It is what i did (execpt from 1.3, not 1.2)

Chill out, stop inflicting your opinion on everybody.

I understand that this is the only available option currently, and I am grateful to the AK team and anybody else involved in making this possible, and I am NOT complaining.
I am just saying, that for now, I would rather keep 1.3x firmware, as facebook uploads are not so important to me, and I would rather keep the Acekard icon.

Obviously, the Danny icon many not bother you at all, but for some people, it does bother them. I know that it would just annoy me seeing it all the time, and whenever my friends
used my DSi, they would be like "..what?" - I'd just rather not have it on my DSi menu.

Please respect the opinions of others, and don't shout them down. I wasn't complaining about the icon, I was complaining about the people who are inflicting their opinion of "THE ICON DOESN'T MATTER!!1112" on other people, because for some people, it really does matter.

I shal wait a while, and see if there is any other solution, that allows keeping the current icon.

One very important reason for upgrading to Nintendy Firmware 1.4 is to be able to get Flipnote Studio, whey hey

Deeje · Aug 18, 2009

Thank god for the update, I was starting to worry for just a sec there. Now I can play around with flipnote too, and stare at good ol' Danny

If you think about it... it is kinda funny that the cards boasting that they were the safest etc because they can definately update using a pc both havn't released anything yet...
I was about to get a zero too... Don't need one now, woot!

Don't thank something that's fake. Thank the Acekard team for making the update. They did the work, after all.

PS: @Poliwrath: It's not an opinion, it's a fact. An icon is an icon, nothing more. IT doesn't affect how the card runs, or what it does. You're just being nitpicky about something you have no control over. But oh well, your loss, not mine.

Is there any problem buying a AK2i off DX DOT COM ?

No, it's not a fact that the icon doesn't matter.

The icon doesn't matter in the way that it affects game play and use of the card etc,
but it does matter aesthetically, and it will bother many people that pay attention to detail, such as myself.

FluffyLunamoth · Aug 18, 2009

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You're telling that to someone with major OCD who hates anything out of order. Now either you go pay them money to make it a different game icon, or stop complaining.

Done with this convo, by the way.

WeakNiZ · Aug 18, 2009

An Icon is just an icon, if you don't like it so much, then put a sticker over it

Do anyone know if it's okay to buy an AceKard2i off DealExteme?

Don't wana waste post space - (So I just edit)
Thank you
elixirdream
For responding and giving an example on how to look for the right card!

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

i don't think so, not now for sure.
unless you have another DS to flash the fix
otherwise, you should only get it when you see such phrase on the product description

from DX @ EZViNew Update(2009-8-13): ***This product supports the newest NDSi version V1.4 now ***

You can buy an Acekard 2i as long as your DSi isn't already at 1.4X. Otherwise you have to wait.

All right, I'm tired of this:

WHO CARES IF THE ICON IS DANNY PHANTOM?! YOU CAN PLAY YOUR ACEKARD AND YOUR GAMES, RIGHT? RIGHT? YOU CAN? IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM? THEN STOP BITCHING!

GOD! I'm sick of the complaining over the icon! Yes, Danny Phantom sucks, but WHO CARES? You can play your games. BE HAPPY, GODDAMMIT!

yeah i agree, i have the R41-SDHC, at least u can have a working cart now. i wouldnt care if the icon said hannah montanna, as long as it worked lol

had I known the 1.4U update would cripple my R4i, I wouldn't have done the update. but since I did the update before I saw online what it does to flashcarts, i was SOL
now I have to wait, or buy another cart

mullenlegend · Aug 18, 2009

I got owned >.> My Acekard got bricked.

I updated it then I did the reboot and now nothing shows up. It is just blank. I didn't update my DSi yet. I did use the DSi Update too.

I guess I will have to buy a new one off of Dealextreme.
