AK2i Update for DSi 1.4

[JSHidaka]

This isn't the official Fix right? Because in acekard page it's still "As all you known please do not update your DSi to 1.4. We're working on it and please be patient. Thanks."

For the one's who tried it, how's it's stability?

Im not upgrading until it's stable

THEY will not release it "OFFICIAL" Till they find a way to put their icon and name back. If they say its official they can get legals problems coz the icons/name

What happens if they can't find a way (aka impossible with current firmware)? They'll just faithfully refuse to name it after a official cart? It's not like their business is based on sound legal law in the firstplace? It's borderline illegal as it is so I would think they wouldn't be as concerned about trademark issues....

Is there a way to use a different icon and game ID?

Perhaps I'm being too picky, but I'm not complaining, I just really would rather not have a Danny Phantom logo permanently on my DSi menu.
I'd rather have no facebook uploads.

Wait why use a cheap game that almost no one's going to have? You'd think they'd choose a big game so Nintendo wouldn't be tempted to just outright block it (which is still a very slim chance even if it is shovelware).

I took at look at the updateen.bin file for the v1.0 firmware. It appears to be in some form of compressed format or encryption maybe (compressed is more likely). It contains no text strings and contains nothing that a hex editor would be useful for.

Seeing that the rom from the Supercard that was dumped is 16mb and this is only 4mb, my best guess is that the firmware file is in some form of compressed format...

Someone needs to figure out how to decompress it and edit it and (and then re compress it back) so that we can work to defeat Nintendo's firmware updates much quicker as we all know Supercard is a bit slow in terms of releasing updates. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being the LAST flashcart to update the firmware. For god's sake they haven't even updated the menu system beyond that of moonshell 1.4 since 2006 I believe!

The thing about the Supercard that beats the competition in my opinion that is you can't brick it! The USB flasher that comes with it doesn't need to boot it or anything and a DS/DSi isn't required to update it. As you all know you have to be able to boot the other cards in order to update them...Not true for the Supercard!

By the way, has anyone tried using the supercard firmware updater on other flashcarts? Like the original supercard DSone? If the compression format can be figured out, perhaps the USB flasher could be used on other flashcarts! Like the Acekard in this case.

I don't yet own DSi but I updated just to be ready, I used the DSL update since I have DSL, and when I enter ds boot menu or whatever it's called it shows acekard 2i not danny phantom!! But I updated it, is this ok or? I have AKAIO and my ak2i is hw81.

EDIT: I now update with the DSi update and still no dany phantom icon on my DSL!

 

[Quilkja]

i had the same problem as you but i updated on my dsi on 1.3u

 

[afro193]

Worked on 1.3U DSi. Now have a DannyKard 2i and Flipnote Studio. Also, they made the camera a LOT faster (not ass slideshow like, much smoother).

Now I'm just waiting for the Supercard team to release their update with the new Spongebob Icon.

I was already LMFAO & ROFL when I saw this thread with the Danny phantom icon and the I watched the Youtube video and heard the guy's expression when he saw the icon. Then when I saw this post, I think I got a crampp. Hilarious.

You won't get that icon change until you place your Acekard 2i into your DSi. It's just how the DSi interprets the flashcart. It thinks its a Danny Phantom game. If you watch the youtube video, you'll see the guy doesn't get his "HOLY CRAP WTH!! DANNY PHANTOM?!?!?" tantrum until after he puts it into his DSi.

Well, That's Acekard for you. or DannyKard 2i in this case like most Tempers have nicknamed it.

The guys at [email protected] sent me an e-mail mentioning this topic/update.

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

They sent an email to EVERYONE, is my guess. Now just need Consolesource to hurry up and cancel my order...

By the way, it's been confirmed to work, right? (not taking any chances)

 

[JohnnyBlaze1986]

It's official. The Acekard team sent me an email reply(FINALLY), redirecting me to this page.

It fizucking sucks because I just got rid of my Acekard to buy an EZ Flash. Well, I guess I'll have to buy it again!

 

[steve007]

why is this update not on the site and i dont know how to put it in i still need to update my dsi can you show the order to put the update in so i dont mess up

please thank you step by step so i dnt mess it up than you

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

JohnnyBlaze, that's sad if you're going to buy it again. And yes, I know, just want to make 100% sure. I don't have another DS to use if this doesn't work.

 

[Sachka]
