Hacking Acekard 2i Firmware Update for 3DS V4.0.0.7

[BrianEE93]

I just got my Acekard 2i. Unfortunately my son updated the 3DS to V4.0.0.7 already. I just wanted to make sure I'm clear on a couple of things.

1. I will not be able to upgrade the Acekard 2i with my 3DS already at V4.0.0.7?

2. Assuming I have to upgrade on my daughters DSL, do I just put the update NDS file on the root of a clean micro SD and run it with the DSL?

Yes and yes

EDIT: you are right on both accounts

That correct get the firmware from acekard .com and put in the DS lite and put in the root of a a clean micro sd card and run the update when it tell you it done stick it in the 3DS and you will get sword icon on the 3ds and your acekard card should work with the new firmware v.4.0.0.7 for the 3ds.

Says System File is Missing

You still need to put the acekard 2i system files in the microSD so you can navigate your way to the update file.

this question is so common and it seems no one searches gbatemp for the answer. i've been linking to the guide for over a year.
