So i have the dsi 1.4u and and download the firmware upgrade which file do i put in to ak2i the"ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds" or "ak2ifw_update_14_DSL.nds" into it and then into my DS Lite to upgrade it.
Please could anyone tell me?

Use "ak2ifw_update_14_DSL.nds" and put it on your SD card (anywhere you want) and then use your DS Lite to upgrade your Ak2i.. (Just run the file) and follow instructions!

First of all, I'm new to the whole DS scene so I apologize if this is a dumb question.

I got a DS recently and accidently updated to the 1.4 firmware. I'm thinking about getting a AK2i. Could I just get a AK2i and apply this update or do I need to update the card on another DS with pre 1.4 firmware to get it to work on my DS?

Sorry again if this is a stupid question.

you need to run it on another ds such as a PHAT or LITE!

You will not be able to load the AK2i on a DSi with 1.4 firmware to try apply this update!

A DSlite or DSPHAT is recommended!

Hey I just found out about this DSi update 1.4. My lil girl's DSi has the updated version on her DSi but my son hasn't yet. I downloaded the file for the necessary update on their AceKards. When I extract the file, I don't get the two different versions for updating ( You know, the one for the DSi and the other for the DSLite) All I get is a one folder that is titles "_ak2", a release note file, and another file that is titled akmenu4.nds.

Am I downloading the right update for my kids DSi? Please help me if you can?

This may sound like a stupid ass question, and I am new to this, but where can I find the Opiums thread? Is it possible for someone to post a link to it?

Thanks!

Am I supposed to edit any lettering from this file "ak2ifw_update_14.rar" cause it seems to look like the firmware that I have been downloading for the past 4 hours. I thought there would be 2 files: One for the DSi and the DSLite?

I added the file to my micro sd card and connected it to the DSi and I can't see it in the main menu of the AceKard screen? Am I doing something wrong or is it still the firmware that I am downloading?

Again, I am new to this!!

@captain Charisma: update on a ds lite/ phat
use the dsi file
@jakub95: u will only c the danny phantom icon on the dsi

Hi. I have a few questions, just to be sure.

1.) I have an DSi (1.3E) AND a DSlite(E). Which way should I update? Through the DSlite or the DSi?
2.) If you use the dsi.nds if you update with the DSlite, what is the DSlite.nds for?
3.) If I update with the DSi, I also use the DSi.nds, right?
4.) Is there some chance to brick my DSlite or DSi or can I just brick the Acekard2i?

thx.

PS: For some of these questions I found different answers so I dunno which is right :/

1.) Either, doesn't matter which.
2.) Dunno myself, I've heard the DSL one is for multiple Acekard 2i's. Why they'd name it DSL, iunno.
3.) Yes.
4.) Just the Acekard can be brick'd.

if there is a game card there with no lable try updating angain and download a new file
if that doesnt work then its mostlikely bricked

if it works on a dsl then its not bricked

It means you bricked your Acekard. Go get another Acekard.
