I bought my Acekard2i a few months ago. I don't remember what day, but it was around July. I used it for my DSi. Then around August, I updated my DSi because I wanted to see what games were out. I wasn't aware that the update would block my acekard, so I updated it and it wouldn't play anymore. Then I decided to give my DSi to my niece cause I'd rather buy a new DS than a bunch of DS games. So I bought a DSL off of ebay. It was the Diamond and Pearl edition. And now I got my DSL today and then I tried using my acekard2i on it, it didn't work. It doesn't show the icon for the Acekard. I tried updating it, but that didn't work either.

Can anyone help me please? I really need to find out what's wrong with it since I promised my niece that I'd give her my DSi.

you do realize that there's a fix for the AK2i?
just give the DSL to your niece and keep the DSi

...which is why you never trust ebay.

But anyway, try to coax the card's contacts together with the DSL's. A slip of paper should do the trick.

Well the thing is, that the ak shows up on the dsi menu but not on the dsl. And I tried putting a card of a yugioh card on the acekard where the sticker is placed, but it still doesn't show up. I'm gonna update the acekard for the DSi, but I'm wondering now if I can update the acekard using a friends dsl since i don't know anyone with a dsi.

Ummmm......... That's.... Smart? Okay... Don't you really think that someone could have obviously come up with changing the sticker if it worked

? Which Update did you use. The DSi labeled one or the DS lite labeled one? You're supposed to use the DSi labeled one.

what? lol no i didn't change the sitcker lol i just put the yugioh card there so when i put the cartridge in, the contacts are closer. but it still doesnt work. and I wanna use the dsi labeled one cause its safer for me to do that since the acekard already appears on the screen lol. but i'm wondering if i can update it with the dsi labeled thingy on another ds lite (that I don't own)
