Acekard not working?

[ShadowSoldier]

So, I received my Acekard 2i. It works flawlessly. And my friend ordered his from Shoptemp as well. I followed this guide:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=154624

And it works perfectly for me. I set up his card for him, and it doesn't work. No games are working. He's getting the same roms as me from the same places. And they work fine on my card. Even ones with no anti-piracy.

Followed that guide to the bone. No go. Reformatted his card, still a no go. We both updated using DSL.

Is it possible he got a faulty card, or that "slim chance of it breaking during update" caused it to malfunction?

What do we do?

 

[omgpwn666]

Have you tried his cart on your DS?

 

[ShadowSoldier]

No. I didn't think that would make a difference seeing as me and him got a DSi XL at the same time. And mine works on my DS....

I guess it's worth a shot.

 

[RupeeClock]

Ah, DSi XL is a factor.

It seems that the Acekard 2i may have some contact issues when in a DSiXL.

Slip a bit of card inbetween the AK2i and the Slot, and see if that helps.

Have a read through my guide instead http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=218103 it really needs to be stickied in place of the other one.

If you follow the unbricking section http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=218103#unbrick you will be able to reflash your friends Acekard using your Acekard.

Have you tried your MicroSD card in his Acekard? have you tried his Acekard in your DSi XL?

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I'm going to try it tomorrow.

I can't see the card not fitting being a factor, because his acekard loads up. Like he gets to the menu's and shit. But when a game is being loaded, it stops.

Yeah that sounds like what happens to my old AK2i in a DSi XL.
After slipping a piece of card in, no problem.

You can also slide the card underneath the actual contacts like so.

You like ripping people's images don't you? Just like you ripped my images from my icon thread on here for your Wiki page on vsrecommendedgames.

You're a [removed, OTT]

 

[Mages4ever]

Lol what.

You're a Prick.

Dude, DUDE.
If you had a problem with that, you could've just contacted me.
I thought you made those for sharing.

I credited you in the discussion for that wiki article but must've forgotten to credit you in the article itself, I'm sorry.

And fuck me for saving a helpful image to try and help someone else, geez.

 

[tk_saturn]

I simply don't see why someone would download an image from thread, upload them to another server then post a link to that in another thread.

What's wrong with the original hosted image? or a link to thread itself? http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=218103#contacts

As for the Icons, there's around 50 of them and together they took a fair bit of time to do. If you upload an image to wiki, you are meant to credit the author on the upload page.

It's what I always do. http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Imageiratshot.png.

If you want to use the icons then use them, but you should give the credit to the author which is what it actually says on the wiki site you uploaded them.

It's easy and better to either link to the original damm image, or to the thread itself http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=218103#contacts

My mistake, I'm not familiar with how Wiki's work.
But you really flew off the handle there...

Edit: To be honest I really don't want to use them now, because you just rub off as really ungrateful.

 

[_Chaz_]

This argument doesn't seem to be helping...
And I'm pretty sure that RupeeClock posted a good solution.

 

[RupeeClock]

Is it just me or is this thread not updating on the thread list? Nevermind.

Yeah, no ill will intended at all, but tk_saturn has got me feeling really rotten now over a mistake...

I didn't even realise that paper contact trick was in his guide, I saw it posted in another thread entirely, and decided to save it.

 

[omgpwn666]

I would agree, Ive seen you linking this helpful guide all over, and so many people need it.

 

[tk_saturn]

Edit: To be honest I really don't want to use them now, because you just rub off as really ungrateful.

ungrateful for what? lol.

If I use someone else's images on here, I always say who's those images are. Most people do, it's forum etiquette.

Are you seriously saying if you took some photos it wouldn't bother you if someone downloaded them and reuploaded to another server then started posting that image in threads? to most people it would appear that were the other persons photos.

I've wasted a lot of time on that guide, and not for my benefit.

You called me a prick who likes to steal peoples images.
Obviously I liked your images enough to use them elsewhere to try and make a helpful guide for people, but rather than try and resolve the matter of credit civilly, you immediately flame me.
You didn't seem happy at all that people liked your icons.

I would've been happy to oblige, it was an error to not credit you.

I usually credit people too, but I'm not familiar with using Wikis and the etiquette escaped me.
I didn't even realise that image was in your guide (I've no reason to read it), I saw it posted elsewhere in the Acekard forum.

You never said you liked them, before this you've never posted any post towards me. If you had, then it wouldn't have bothered me. That thread will slip down the pages to obilivion soon enough.

but this is off topic, so should end, and yes i'm an arse but that's who I am.

It must've outright slipped my mind to say thanks, I'm sorry.

Seriously though, don't you think it's obvious that I must've liked them if I chose to use them? Come on...

But yeah, this is really off topic, I'm done. I won't bother using your icons for that wiki article any more.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Hey guys? Stop being tools? Mmmkay pumpkins? Thanks.

Now, back to the THREAD DISCUSSION.

Just tried that card trick. It works better, but not the greatest yet. It still goofs up.

He just told me, that under his sticker, there are bumps. And there noticeable by eye. And I look at mine, and you can't see anything. Could he have gotten a messed up card or something?

EDIT: We think it's the card. Whenever he puts the card in his XL, it will last for like a minute, then stop working.
I will edit again when he tries it in his lite.... it might very well be his XL...
