As long as your flashcart (the ak2i) still runs on that 3ds, you'll be able to update without problem. In other words, if your ak2i supports 2.1.0-4, you can update your ak2i to work on 3.0.0

Ok so when I use the correct firmware when it tells me to press start, nothing happens

It'd be easier to identify your problem if you could tell us (1) what system (ds/dsl/dsi/3ds) you are using, and (2) which updater you are trying to use.

can i directly update the version of my acekard 2i using 3ds? i will first update my acekard 2i before i update to 3.0.0? is that correct?
can you make a guide pls in updating to 3.0.0.. sorry i only got my 3ds last month so i dont know much. thank you

Will updating the firmware have any effect other than changing the icon and a fix for that one game (which I don't want to play) on a DS Lite? I am using the firmware that's two versions old I think (Dorasu) from around August.

Could someone link to a picture of the new icon please?

If your 3DS can currently run your Acekard, yes, you can update it.

Besides, your question already got answered. Sheesh.

The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian

There's no merit for ds lite/phat users.

I bricked one of my AK2i's yesterday by trying to run it on 3.0.0-5 before updating the card to Narnia. I don't know if Nintendo is trying to brick flashcards but it was working perfectly before. It didn't have any contact issues.

I don't know why I did that.

I tried using my acekard 2i on my 3DS 3.0.0-5, before using this update, it did not brick my AK2i. I used my DSlite to update the AK2i and all is well.


I also had a problem using the DSi/DSiXL/3DS file to update, it don't work!!!

Huuummm...

I have a Acekard 2i HW 81 with AKAIO 1.8.9, when I do this update for my 3DS on 3.0.0.5-E, Everything went well.
I have performed the firmware update for my Acekard by my blue NDS Tank.

100% done, no problem during the flash, BUT (because there is a but) when I launch my Acekard 2i (With Narnia icon on the dash) I have 2 white screens on my blue NDS Tank and on my 3DS I have 2 black screens with an error message...

My Acekard is dead? Is there a way to fix it or should I go through the box purchase...

Thank you for your reply

PS: I'm sorry for my poor english but I'm French

Make sure it's not a contact issue or micro sd card failure. Format your micro sd card using the panasonic sd formatter to try and fix it (Note: make sure you back everything in your msd up before formatting).

If neither of those work, you can attempt on reflashing your ak2i by swapping. You can only do this if you have another working flashcart, though. I assume your 'Tank' is an original, phat ds, so any flashcart will be fine.

Thanks a lot for you'r reply! IT'S WORKING!!! You'r Trick working very fine I re-flash my Acekard 2i endomaged by the flash, with a Acekard 2i that works. And my Acekard 2i work again
I launch the flash with the Acekard that work, and when the program tell me: "eject the card" I eject the card and I insert the Acekard 2i endomaged with the same Micro-SD card and the flash run.

Thanks again

will it not brick your 3ds if you update it to 3.0.0
is it true that nintendo can brick your 3ds if you use pirated flashcards when you update?

do i have to system format my 3ds before updating to 3.0.0?

do i have to remove the acekard 2i before updating to 3.0.0?

Hello, all. I have a question. I recently updated my AK2i to support the new 3DS update. However, I had a problem with a file, and had to reformat my card today. Do I need to update my AK2i again using the DSL? I'm asking because when I put my card in my DSL it still showed the Chronicles icon, which is what happened after I updated it. So, am I right to assume that I don't have to update my card again, and I can just put it in my 3DS and all will be well?

 

[jimmyemunoz]

No update needed "again." Your good to go.

YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR
YOU FLASHED THE FIRMWARE OF THE CARD, AND THAT DOES NOT CHANGE
ENJOY PLAYING AND DO THE NEEDFUL

Hi all,
So I recently got a 3DS so wanted to do this update. I also have DSL so I am using that to update my Acekard2i (HW: 8181).

Here's my steps...
First I updated to the latest AKAIO 1.8.9. I put the file "ak2ifw_update_3ds30_DSi143_onDSL.nds" onto the root of the microSD card, inserted and booted into AKAIO 1.8.9.

Ran the file "ak2ifw_update_3ds30_DSi143_onDSL.nds" on the DSL, saw the message to reinsert the card so I did. Pressed START to continue and it says "Updating, DO NOT turn off DS".

It has been stuck at "Progress 35%..." for the last 15 minutes... What's going on?? Should I just turn it off and start over? Is that going to brick my Acekard2i?

I'm thinking the update has failed but hope it's just my microSD that needs to be wiped out first before I try again. Thoughts, recommendations please.

Thanks!
