Hacking AceKard 2i Question!

[Undiscovered.Lin]

From http://www.xpertron.co.uk/genuine-acekard-...13_815#ak2_body I am going to get this and use the Akaio 1.8.1 Firmware is this all okay or is there a better Firmware I should get?

 

[tiggerlator]

Well the newest is 1.8.7, also why not a acekard 2i?

Hmm I didn't see any of them on the site... I will recheck and the Firmware I noted is the first and the both do the same thing don't they?

Here is the new card I want sorry I went offline after I asked this topic... and forgot to repost so here it is http://www.nds-gear.com/dsi-3ds-cards/acekard-2i but which firmware should I use?

1.8.7 should be fine. If you are using it on a dsi make sure you update the kernel to support dsi 1.4.3E before you update your dsi, it doe's not come with the newer kernel on it.

lameboy is a gb/gbc emulator. it does not play gba games. every homebrew i've ever tried works on akaio, including operation libra which fails on every other kit i've tried it on.

when a flash kit can only run on a ds lite then it doesn't have a bootloader. when this happens the firmware usually refers to the "operating system" which, in this case, would be akaio. however, calling it a kernel would also be correct.

when a flash kit can run on the dsi then it requires a bootloader to fake the dsi security checks. the bootloader would be the firmware for the flash kit in this example, which makes the "operating system" (ie: akaio) the kernel.

when you start to call the "operating system" a firmware many users of dsi flash kits get confused and think you are talking about the part they can flash to make the card dsi compatible. i've actually been asked if how to flash akaio to make the flash kit dsi compatible. i can tell that you understand what you were saying but others will read it differently. it will save you time in the fiture if you refer to each thing in the correct way.
