Sorry if this is in the wrong place guys but i noticed something strange, may sound silly but a possible exploit also in the Nintendo DSi handheld.

Every so often when i boot up with the Acekard 2i inserted it will show the AK2i Logo and not Dannt Phantom, of course this results in me getting a "Sorry, a system error occured." message.

But i was wondering, is this an exploit in 1.4 DSi Firmware? Or is the Acekard not seeing my 1.4 Firmware sometimes?

Any suggestions guys?

Dont understand you man,

just search for fix for AK2i - it fixes compatibility with DSi FW 1.4 (which dont allow any kind of flashcard - not only ak2i).

OR DID YOU MAKE THE FIX ALREADY AND STILL NOTHING?

I have patched it and stuff, IT WORKS. But every so often, the Acekard 2i logo pops up instead of danny phantom logo, and if i press it i get the whole "Sorry, a system error occured" message, but when i reset, the danny phantom logo appears and acekard works. I have determined my Acekard to be genuine so i know its not fake.

Im ruling it down to the Acekard sometimes not recognising the firmware as 1.4 so it doesnt initialize the nessecary patch or whatever it does to fool the 1.4 firmware.

That shouldn't be the case though, I'm 99% sure when you flash it with the 1.4 update that it shows up as Danny Phantom on all DS', someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

No, on a normal DS or DSL, it shows the AK2i icon, not Danny Phantom.

Well im not blind when i see the AK2i icon on my DSi screen. I would video it but when i check the firmware and go back to DSi menu, the Danny phantom icon reappears.

Nah, he's not talking about a problem. He's talking about a possible exploit.

I faced this "thing" once in a while too.

Same here - only 1 or twice though
I've read somewhere (although not 100% where) that on switch on the acekard 'passes' info across to DSi to fool it into thinking it's a real card (i.e Danny Phantom) - but occasionally on switch on, the acekard doesn't pass the correct info across (perhaps it doesn't get enough voltage from Dsi at just the right time, or perhaps there's a timing issue) hence the Ak2 icon appears

Because the AK hasn't fooled the DSi - that's why you get the message of 'switch off & try again'

It's not really 'an exploit in 1.4 DSi Firmware' Or 'the Acekard not seeing 1.4 Firmware sometimes?' more like the 'acekard doesn't work quick enough to fool the DSi'

Ahhh, that so. I knew it wasn't an exploit, just an error at Acekard's fault. Because if it isn't, then I'm sure the game icon would pop something else (Like maybe light green box or something).

Moreover, if you flash the AK, the logo information is...... placed away. It doesn't detect a firmware.

The DSI queries game cartridges in a slightly different way than the DS / DSL. The Acekards originally just sent their normal header with the AK logo etc, but the firmware upgrade for the 2i sets it so that if it sees the DSI type query, then instead of returning it's own header info it sends the danny phantom info instead.

I've seen mine revert back to the AK logo etc. on a few occasions. Typically after a crash or a reboot, or when the cart isn't seated properly.

It's not really any kind of exploit and I doubt it means the Acekard is having problems, it's just a little glitch that can crop up now and then. Just cycle the power or remove / replace the cart and everything should be fine.

That's weird... As chance you could post a picture of it as proof ??
I was always under the impression that the Danny Phantom only appears on DSi's
