Hey I just got my 3ds yesterday and I have a ds lite and acekard 2i. I have an 8gb micro ad I want to use with my lite since it has gba compatability and a 4gb to use temporarily with the 3ds for some ds games. Now what I am wondering if inset up one micro ad card for the 3ds can I swap it out for the other one and use it in ds lite? Or does it update the actual acekard itself and make it only work in the 3ds.

Thanks for your help

you can put akaio on 100 cards with 1,000 different files and swap the msd cards into your ak2i at will.

the bootloader update has nothing to do with the msd card. it flashes a section of the ak2i so that you can boot that ak2i on the dsi and 3ds. you will still be able to use a full updated ak2i on the phat and lite.

is that what you were asking?

there is nothing to worry about with that. the ak2i will not cause any harm to your ds lite. you will be able to play gba roms using a slot-2 flash kit or actual gba games. you can keep a gba game or slot-2 flash kit in the ds lite while you are actively gaming from slot-1. they won't mix or interfere with each other at all, unless you want them to (ie: 3in1 support and passme).

    I have a feeling big N has a extra trick up they sleeve to prevent piracy this time w Switch 2. (Lotus 4 maybe) So the new games can't be dumped, even w a dump tool. (Mig dumper)

    It would have to be extra security measures in the Switch 2 gamecarts that will be different from the OG Switch carts. So, for example, Switch 2 gamecarts will not work with the Switch, because it has a different ASIC. Game partitions and layout to a Switch ROM will be the same, but has extra flags in the ROM header info that only the Switch 2 will recognise.

    When I owned my pizza place many years ago, we didn't have a cash register at all, every employee was given a "bank" of small bills at start of shift. Then everyone pocketed the money and made change, and I'd cash everyone out at end of shift. One time we had a gunman come in to rob me and wanted to know where's the cash register. I told him we don't take cash, only credit, and he left with nothing. Cops caught him even.

    My wifeys aunt gave her some gold coins in her will when she passed last year, and the tax man was gonna tax her a gift tax on it, but our accountant said if she sells the gold and put that money into a 5 year CD, it will be untaxable. So she did, and now IRS saying they want a income tax on the gold coin sale. Damn taxman always greedy.
