quick question - when it shows up on DSi select screen - what icon does it show

is it "AK" or "Danny Phantom" ?

If it shows "AK" then the Ak2i has not been updated to bypass the Nintendo 1.4 firmware upgrade, & to fix this you'll need either a DSLite or DSPhat to do so, since it seems your DSi has 1.4 firmware installed

There's a post somewhere here that tell how to do it - you'll have to search for it though

 

OK that means it needs updating to bypass the Nintendo Firmware update

I've looked & it seems you can download the update from this thread and there's a sort of guide in this post (although this post is really for 'fixing' an update because the wrong file was used)

There's also several videos on youtube that show how to update (one which is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_HfVAKMxfY...eature=related)

 

Just making sure, it's 2i and not "2.1", right?

 

Thanks guys.



Problem solved. I had some more DSi cards at home, and put the Micro SD card in another, and it worked first time.
It seems that it is indeed incorrectly labelled.


Will let DX know, and get a replacement.
