My updater keeps saying Update is canceled, reboot DS. immediately when it loads up... never gives me a chance to say yes. im using the 3ds update file for the 2.2 3ds. my card is a HW:8181, so it should be supported.

Hmm, has anyone tried this on HW:44 Acekards? I ask because the last two releases didnt work on the good old Acekard with the bump like I have and I wont get access to a DSLite until Friday or Sunday to try and update my HW:44. I am hopeful since this firmware release doesnt say NO_44 in the file name or description on their website. ^.~

Nope doesn't work on HWID44. The ak team confirmed it.

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'm pretty sure you can easily recover your ak2i if you swap the cart and reflash. If you have another working flashcart and system, anyways.

I tried that -- it just freezes the updater or resets the system.

I tried swapping the memory cards and using different systems, nothing works -- just a blank icon or 'no card inserted'.

Wow, that's news. O:
I wonder if it also permanently bricks other carts as well... btw, can anybody else confirm about the 'permanent brick'? I guess the ak team should be noted to see if they're aware of it, and see if they can work on an unbricker.

I am having the same issue, with the 2.1.0.4-U 3DS.

Edit: Fixed it by doing a full SD format.

i want to update my 3ds to version 3.0.0 but i use acekard 2i.
is it true that when you update your version nintendo can block your flashcard and you cannot use it again?
i saw in the acekard [color=#009900 !important]website[/color] that they have release a [color=#009900 !important]new version[/color] compatible to version 3.0.0
can i update my acekard 2i using my 3ds only or do i need a ds?

help pls :)

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
