Just updated and everything is working perfectly. Flipbook is a pretty cool little game

I have a 1.3J DSi.
Can I use it to update my Acekard2i or I must use a DSlite/phat??

Same question here. I have a 1.3U DSi. Can I run the update from it? THEN update the DSi to 1.4U?

 

[Quanno]

I did it like this:

-download the fix
-used the dsi version on a ds lite (so a ds phat works too)
-after it was ready, put it back in the DSi and it works.
-?????
-profit!

I used the DSi fix file on my DSi no problems.
I then updated my DSi to 1.4 rebooted and ran the acekard/phantomkard

I have a question.. is there any other possibility to update your acekard other than using a ds phat/ds lite?

Because I have a 1.4EU DSi which I can't run the update from and I also don't have a ds lite/phat to update my acekard.

 

[Drigz]

You have to use lite/phat/dsi 1.3x and below, otherwise it won't work.

Interesting. I am waiting for Supercard's update as well (despite not having a DSi lol ).

I used rom dumper to dump the rom of the Supercard so currently the Supcard's internal name (and icon) is "Fish Tycoon". But I find it odd that it doesn't show up like that in the menu. I guess the 1.4 update made the naming system more strict for game carts so they had to use the name that was used in the internal rom. Though I can't see how it is they got the first version to work on the pre 1.4 DSi in the first place.

I'm gussing pre DSi flashkarts (aka all the karts that got blocked by the original DSi were a little lax in making them appear as retail karts due to the DSLite not giving a dam beyond that of perhaps the boot code encyption....

If all they did was change the game ID and icon, then this is a big EPIC FAIL for Nintendo.......Makes me wonder that had they made the internal rom updatable on pre DSi carts, that perhaps they would have made them work as well....

Anyone with any decent hex editing knowladge should open up the original Supercard Firmware file, and find it's game ID and icon and replace it to match that of it's internal name or replace both it's menu name and internal name to something else and see if that is enough to fool the DSi. Big cookie goes to whoever does this before the official Supercard team does.!

I'm gonna edit my post as soon as I get the photo.

EDIT: done:

Looks like THQ loves to leave holes on their games

What holes, they just copied the Title and Icon.

I bet nobody has asked this before or tried it before.

Does this update work on AK2i Clones?
Anyone tested this?

It's just a question, i like to see answered

(in the mean time i'll update my AK2i

)

I have a 1.3J DSi.
Can I use it to update my Acekard2i or I must use a DSlite/phat??

Yes I think should first download the files, then load it in your Acekard menu, and then update the DSi. (I haven't done jet)

Ok, to answer my own question: i'll took a R4i clone and tested it

R4 Clone: R4i from www.r4ipro.com

CHIP ID: 0fc2 / HW: 4444
Update went fine and gone to 100%

After the update it still worked on the DSLite and a 1.3e DSi but not on the 1.4e DSi

- The icon still shows the original R4DSi icon and the txt: R4DSi
- After entering you get the "An error occurred? ..."

So, no it didn't work on this AK2i clone.

Suggestions for the next icon/title to rip:

you could use your DSi as long it is not 1.4

i just updated it on my DSi 1.1U
