Try deleting stuff off the microSD like in this post:

I foud a way to make it work:

-dl ak2ifw_update_3ds_v1.nds
-put it on the micro sd
- used my phat to launch the file and update (had no error: 100% and powered off the phat)

after that the flashcard wasn't working anymore. The icon had become the japanese weird thing and when trying to launch it i just got a black screen.

So i erased everything from the micro sd (only firmware related, not the games, including the ak2ifw_update_3ds_v1.nds) and installed the new akaio firmware.

Now it's working on my 3DS smile.gif

It's a blank cartridge icon.
Tried it and nothing.
Tried it in a DSL and it boots up a lovely white screen on each screen.

Broke?

http://gbatemp.net/t281327-blank-acekard-icon-on-dsi matches what's happened in this thread.
Does that updating from 1 card and then putting in the broke/bricked card work?
Ah super, it does work!
DOSARU! woo. I guess my DSi just failed hard...
All updated.

Works perfectly..now I just gotta get hold of a 3DS..which I will be purchasing very shortly..I have the DSi XL, I put in the update file, the card shows up in japanese though so I dont know if that will be the case when I put it in my US 3DS..but even if it does who cares its a minor issue and not a big deal at all

works fine on my end just used my empty 2gb micro sd with only _aio folder akmenu4.nds and the dsi version of the update to avoid any problems and then stuck my 4gb main card back in boots and plays games just fine on my DSLite.
\will test it on my 3DS when i get it later today.
EDIT: working fine on 3DS

My Acekard has been stuck at 0% for like 10 mins now, shoudl i just turn my DSi XL off?

It failed, when it works the progress % starts right after confirming. It takes about 30 secs to update.

Is this Acekard 3 fake? I saw a article in forums.qj.net, saying the acekard 3 is a fake card.

Of course it is. The box says, 'acekard.cc'. Acekard.com wrote an article a while ago saying that they have only one website.

I wonder if I should update the 3DS to the latest 1.0.1E firmware version or leave it on 1.0

Update it, stability becomes better (I had a few crashes on my Jap 3DS before I updated it :eek: )

It doesn't block flashcards

The thing I don't like about this is it uses a Japanese game for a USA system, and in the activity log a bunch of people playing a JAPANESE game for MANY hours really singles you out, how many people in America import?
