Hacking Acekard 2 on a NDSi?

[robochrono09]

I have a acekard 2 it's the exact one from this review

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=79368

with the custom AKAIO firmware will it work on a NDSi?

No, you need an AK2i.

NO. THE DSI READS GAMES DIFFERENTLY THAN A REGULAR DS. IF YOU WANT TO USE A REGULAR ACEKARD THEN USE IT ON A REGULAR DS.

It says 2.1 on it if it's a 2.1.

it's just a regular one then thank you

how is the compatiability on it? 100 percent? is there a compatability list somewhere?

with an ak2 i would worry about the FAT error more than compatibility. but with akaio you are talking close to 98%+ right now. things that don't work and get reported are fixed within days.

what is the FAT error?

 

[Another World]

the later lot of ak2s had a File Allocation Table error. the error comes down to a poor solder job on certain kits. i can't pull an exact date anymore but i think it started around june/july of last summer. the kits do a bunch of things from freezing on boot up with the text "FAT ERROR", to flashing, to glitches, to other problems. all of the issues cause the card to not work. acekard does have a 1yr warranty and it is well known that this problem exists. this doesn't mean you have this problem. i know people with the early batch who still use them all the time. the fat error was later *fixed* and rebranded as the ak2.1. this one has a green pcb and the small chip just under the sticker. the pcb was later redesigned and released as the 2.1 black pcb and then a run in a forest green color. the newest version is the ak2.1 with a blue pcb.

awesome thank you!

like i said, don't let what i just typed scare or worry you. put on akaio, use your ak2 and enjoy the hell out of it. if indeed you do have the FAT error that kills the kit for you, your retailer should exchange it for a period of up to 1 yr. if not there are other ways to get it replaced from the team.

cheers.
