sorry if this is stupid but does this mean now that the DSi reads the AceKard as a proper game its future update proof, or can nintendo easily work around this?

It can read Acekard 2i on your Nintendo DSi but it's in wrong icon (Danny Phatom: Urban Jungle). Just run it and it will show you the Acekard 2i firmware.

oh oh. so. like next update, it MIGHT change back?

Yes, it may work.

If its 1.4u.

U can't use the FIx on that DSi..

U HAVE TO HAVE A DSL for that Situation.

This update works on

1. DS Lite to update to for DSi usage on 1.4
2. DSi's on firmware not higher than 1.3
3. some R4 Clones

Will NOT WORK on DSi that's already 1.4

u will need to update your acekard2i on a DSL. Then once the acekard 2i has been updated on the DSi...then try it on your DSi

theres 2 files when you download the file at page 1 (very top page for idiots who didn't know).the file named ak2ifw_update_14_DSL.nds FOR the DSL. if you use ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds on the DSL, you got a 50% chance it works.
mine worked (phew!).
ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds = For a DSi that was updated to 1.4U
ak2ifw_update_14_DSL.nds = For DSL usage. use this file and update it on the DSL and then transfer flash card to dsi
it all works but wiht a messed up f****** icon. its a icon of Danny Phantom.
really i was glad i still hadn't sold my broken DSL when i updated. or then i was screwed "-.- (my DSL had a broken hinge, screen goes blur when i flip the screen too far, touch screen failure, and has many lost pieces and cracks xD)

How can I change this ugly menu icon and flash card name

should i wait until acekard team's fix?

This is their fix. The game icon and name had to be changed to make the card work on firmware 1.4, you're stuck with Danny Phantom if you want to run your Acekard on firmware 1.4.

err guys what if...

I have a dsi right, its version 1.4. And i downloaded the update for 1.4. I Try to run the Acekard update, then it ssaidi the error. THen i received an email saying "If you've updated your DSi to 1.4 already then you have to find one DSi under 1.4 to run it.
If you've not updated your DSi then you can run ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds first then update your DSi to 1.4.
Thanks." And i know no-one else with a dsi who has 1.3 or under. So will it work if i update it on a Nintendo Ds Lite ? And if it does, which update will i use? The Dsi one or the NDSL one. Thanks

I will say it again.

Use the DSi version even if you update it on a DS lite

if you have multiple acekard 2i, use the DSL version on a DS Lite to flash all your Acekard 2i without installing it on each microSD cards on each Acekard 2i. The DSL version will be in the DS LIte's RAM and just insert the rest of tthe acekard 2i you have for easy access on the update.

I hope i understood what Normatt said on his post.

The DSL version is used to unbrick the bricked acekard 2i when you used the DSi version. you must have another acekard 2i for it to be unbricked.

Do you need an internet connection to do the update on the ak2i? If yes, will it work on a WPA2-PSK protected network since ak2i only runs in DS-mode?

So no possible chance of someone just uploading the updated files for us people who only own a DSi since we traded in our DS Lite to use those to place onto our Micro SD Card's and run it? :'(

No, you don't need internet connection when updating an Ak2i.
But u need to have wi-fi connection in order to update DSi firmware to 1.4..
But you MUST update the Ak2i first before upgrading to 1.4 firmware if you only have one DSi with you..

My advice is that find someone that owns a DSLite/DSPhat/DSi (with 1.3 firmware or below) and borrow them to update your Ak2i..
It's really simple..

Like posted in the other topic, the update works fine on the R4i (clone) from www.r4ipro.com

BUT

It says:
CHIP ID: 0fc2
HW: 4444

Update 100% done

After the update:
- No icon or TXT change and doesn't work (error) on 1.4e DSi
- does still work on the dlite and 1.3e DSi

[UPDATE]

THIS UPDATE Does also work on:

- R4i-Ultra (http://www.r4ultra.com/)


It says:
CHIP ID: 0fc2
HW: 4444

Update 100% and working!

(YouTube clip is comming)
