Hacking Acekard working on 3DS 4.4.0-10

[Sinsa234]

If you have the Action Replay Dsi that has the 3ds update, if you insert the Acekard into the action replay, boot it up, and go to the codes menu, you'll get a game id. Register the acekard under any name, and start it. It worked for me, suprisingly. I'm using AKAIO 1.9.0, and the latest acekard update.

It should also work for Non DSi/3DS compatible flashcarts on both DSi and 3DS as long as they show an icon (auto booting flashcarts like the R4 don't work).

If you have an Action Replay that's a good solution, otherwise it's better to just buy another cart

Yeah an AR costs more than another cart anyways, and carts that stop getting firmware updates tend to stop getting game updates too.

Not need to creat and add code to start AK2i trough an Action replay, just push start

This is a great tip, thanks! Went up and picked an Action Replay.

That maybe true, but it's not like there are going to any new NDS rom dumps any time soon. Or if there are any, they will most likely be shovelware that was originally pasted over.
I think now is pretty much a perfect time to stop updating their kernels because there really is no need for it anymore.

Eh... What is Action Replay? My brother updated his DSi to 1.4.5. His Acekard is for 1.4.4 and 3DS 3.3.0. Will it work? If yes, what should I do? Please, write step by step instructions.

There is no update for the AK2i, so even if the AR would allow you to apply an update, you can't apply an update that doesn't exist.

You could buy an AR and just use that to run the AK2i all the time, but it's big (it's a dual-cart-attachment thing), and it costs more than just getting a new cart.

Im sorry for bumping this thread but, does this mean if I have a 4.5.0-10U 3DS, I can use an action replay to make it work?

You can not use acekard card for 4.5.0-10U 3DS, since its kernel is only compatible for 4.4.0-10 as Rydian said. Currently, as I know and I replied in last thread, the Red R4i 3DS Card keeps updating kernels for Dsi and 3DS. You can search R4i SDHC 3DS Card for Nintendo for DSIXL in Google. There is lots of sellers there. Please note, in Red box.

It'll work as long as the ARDSi has the latest update.

Yeah thanks, I was confused by what kudeals said... when Rydian said it worked, just wanted to double check. Thanks!

There is no update for AK2i now. Even AR allow your to update, but, there is no update, correct?

No, that's not a recommended cart.

It will technically run, but only when the ARDSi is between the AK2i and the base unit... and an ARDSi is more expensive than a new flash cart.

Yes. The AK2i has no update for 4.5.x, and I seriously doubt there will ever be an update for the existing models since the AK2i ran out of space.

I really wouldn't go suggesting an R4 Clone like that. I suggest sticking to any cards on this thread

Yes I know, the R4i Gold is an R4 Clone, but it's far better than the rest out there.

I wouldn't have thought of this, this is like going back to the days of the PassMe.

On the topic of an ARDSi being more expensive than a flash cart, yes, this is (generally) true. However, it's worth keeping in mind that an ARDSi will be accessible to more people than a new flash cart (example being some kid who has a way to get around to <insert retail store here> and has the $20 for a ARDSi, but not a credit card or a parent willing to use theirs to order from <insert potentially shady Chinese site here>) It's by no means an optimal solution, but it's absolutely a viable one.
