Hacking Acekard 2 Help Needed

[Zwnd]

Hi, i recently bought a acekard 2 for my ds and none of the new firmware works on it.
I don't think it is a clone because it starts up with the new firmware but when i try to start a game no game ever works...
ATM i am using Akaio 1.4. I really want to play SS n HG but it not possible because of the problem i am having.
Thanks.

Well for 1 thing you should be on AKAIO 1.6 RC2. Are you sure you've put all the files on correctly?

Use AKAIO 1.6rc2?


This is an acekard 2i right?

 

[Zwnd]

Is there a bulge in the middle of the cart?

 

[Zwnd]

no its not fatter than it should be.

Erm, what's the HWID o-o.
How about you take of the sticker and tell us what you see while you're at it o-o;
(Oh and the paper trick is to make it fit more flush.)

 

[Zwnd]

sorry for the noobiness but i dunno what HWID is....

Start>Help
It'll tell you.

Start up AKAIO, hit the start button, and then go to "Help". You should see yout HW number after the AKAIO version.

 

[Zwnd]

well there is nothing under the sticker...
akaio v1.2 HW: 80

That's correct for an Acekard 2.1. It's more than likely to be an issue from the 'bad batch'. You'll just have to wait for AKAIO 1.6RC3, there's nothing else you can do.

 

[Zwnd]

ok guys thanks alot.

Please verify the AKAIO version you're using. Is it 1.2, 1.4 or something else? What steps did you use to update your firmware?
