Hacking Ackard2i questions

[damon66]

Ok thinking about getting a dsi today, and i have a SCDS1, which i know will NOT work for it, so i was thinking of maybe buying an acekard2i. just had some questions, like are there any games that dont work on it? are there any functions of the dsi that dont work with acekard, and does anyone know if nintendo will release some sort of future patch for dsi that will stop flashcarts forever? thanks

If you have a DSlite I suggest just waiting until a better flashcart comes out. I only bought a AK2i because I had an old DS Phat and upraded to a DSi. As far as I know everything that works on a lite flash-cart-wise works on the DSi except playing GBA games. It is unknown whether or not Nintendo can block it from firmware updates.

what will future flashcarts be capable of that the acekard isnt? the acekard is only 20 dollars at least.

As long as you remember than all of these 'i' cards are really just DS cards that are more compatible than the older ones. Absolutely none if the DSi's features can be used by coders/hackers yet.

Check first before you ask...
People supposedly have had problems with the AKi bricking after using Prof. Layton and Pokemon Platinum but that could be an issue with non-US region users. Others have gotten all games to work on US DSi.
You should be fine otherwise
