    Hacking Regarding Fake Acekard 2i issue

    I think the point that was trying to be made here by tk_saturn was that these "malfunctioning/fake" Acekards that are apparently "preloaded" to work with 1.4 will most likely be screwed in the event that Nintendo's newer firmwares block them out. This is really important information for anyone...

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    This is an interesting turn. It seems that what I have is at the very least NOT an Acekard 2i. EDIT - I'll elaborate: When I insert my card into my DS phat, it reads "Acekard 2" rather than 2i.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    For both an A2ki and A2.1? Also what is the description for both? Meaning, would the DS menu say just "Acekard 2", or "Acekard 2.1" and "Acekard 2i"

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    But if your Acekard 2.1 doesn't have the Actel chip, wouldn't that mean that mine is still a clone (at least according to Acekard themselves)? EDIT: For the record... what does the icon for an Acekard 2i and Acekard 2.1 say when shown on a DS/lite screen?

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Update: I'd be very careful when purchasing from Real Hot Stuff for a little bit. When I informed them of this, they seemed very surprised and unaware. Meaning there's probably more clones floating around in their warehouse.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Thank you, I actually just sent an email to the place I got it from (Real Hot Stuff). They seem to be pretty keen on refunds and exchanges according to their FAQ on their site, so I'll hopefully be able to get one of those.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Possibly, although I got it from a site that acekard claims is reliable. The only real way to know is to find out what HWIDs acekard 2s have and if 80 is among them. EDIT: After looking up what kind of cards have HWID 80, it seems that there are a few people with Acekard 2.1's with this HWID...

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    If you read through the topic you'll notice that the two of us experiencing this problem both have HW(ID):8080. All signs point to the fact that it is a real card, such has AKAIO working on it and it actually playing games on other systems, however the bootloader update file doesn't work on it...

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Wouldn't really have helped, since I'm still in the dark about how to make this work. I've been researching it thoroughly as possible on the internet and can only find about 4 other instances in which people have the same HWID and problems, but none of them are in English or have a solution. I...

    Hacking Connot update cartridge?

    Does it say that specifically or are you paraphrasing? I have a feeling people will want more details in order to help.

    Hacking Acekard 2i update whit R4 update 1.4!!!

    You're sort of right. 4444 and 8181 are real cards, as far as all utilities (including the bootloader updates) are concerned. They are probably just repeating the numbers because of a weird line of code. If you look on youtube for videos of people upgrading the bootloader, you'll see that like...

    Hacking Acekard 2i update whit R4 update 1.4!!!

    Why would you if you updated it correctly? I don't know about legit Acekards, but apparently if your card is a type of clone, the R4i update works with it.

    I'll try that, thank you, but were they getting the same kind of error that I am?

    I've seen you link to that in other threads. I tried it. I get the same exact error.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    I just reformatted my card before I put it on it. And I understand what it means but it's the fact that it's those digits that are stopping the update file from working. This is obviously a normal, real card besides that one number, so there must be something that can be done about it.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Thank you for the reply! I thought I was getting ignored. I put AKAIO on it and it starts up, although a little slow. Anymore ideas, since it's not fake? Isn't there a way to change my HW? It's the only thing stopping me from upgrading.

    Hacking Acekard 2i Update with DS Phat Help!

    Hey, really sorry if there are a hundred threads like this but the board wasn't letting me search. I got my Acekard 2i recently in the mail, and knowing that I already updated my DSi to 1.4, I realized I'd have to use another DS to update the card. So the only other DS I have is my old fat DS. I...
