AK2i Update for DSi 1.4

Isn't it funny how the WHOLE ENTIRE NDS homebrew comunity relies on these flashcarts: if a future update were, to say, block these for good, imagine what the world would be like then.

We know that'll never happen. It's a crapload of hackers against one company. The World > Nintendo.

Crap, I only have an original DS and a 1.4 DSi. What do I do?

This has been asked for many times now, Use your original DS (I am assuming its a DSL/DSP) to patch/upgrade your Ak2i...
I haven't upgraded my ak2i.. i just know..

I updated it then I did the reboot and now nothing shows up. It is just blank. I didn't update my DSi yet. I did use the DSi Update too.

I guess I will have to buy a new one off of Dealextreme.

Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. AFAIK I did everything right, but it still died. Guess I'll wait to buy a replacement so I can buy one pre-fixed.

Did you guys tried to fix it? I think there is a way to fix them in a thread somewhere using DSLites.. I am not sure though..
Guess you guys should look around..

I found this: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=174822
Although I am sure there quite few threads around about these kind of stuffs..

I did the update on my 1.3U DSi and everything worked out fine

No need to use a DS Phat or DS Lite XD

Darn. That looks like it'd fix it, but my only spare is an Acekard 2, and I'm guessing the DSL multi-card update only works on 2i.
At least that means that I could fix my old card when I buy a replacement, so I'll have a working spare 2i.

There is a need if you already updated... like me...

I downloaded the fix and used a ds lite to run the firmware. it appeared to update successfully but now neither a ds lite or dsi recognise rhe acekard . Any ideas??

It probably bricked...

 

[rose_petal]

[Dimensional]

can u unbrick it?????

Unbricking would require having another AK2i to run the updater from.

Brick=broke

Sorry, double post.

I downloaded the AK 2i 1.4 upload, and I downloaded only 1 file, not two? What happened?

What I downloaded was "a2ifw_update_14.rar" no dsi or dsl at the end!

Also, im new to flashcarts, do I just drag and drop the rar file to the micro SD? along with all the games + the loader? and it should work?

Thanks!

Download Winrar and extract the .rar first.

First, unzip the .rar file. If you have a DSi (1.3), put the .dsi file on your micro SD card. If you have a DS Lite, put the .dsl on your micro SD card. Then run it.

The DSi version is for the normal DS' too (Use the DSi version (in most cases). The DSL version is only if you want to update multiple cards.

Did you use the DSi version of Acekard 1.4 firmware fix? Just simply drag and drop to the microSD (TF) card.

It works fine for me.

THANKS! that was a big help! Also, for the flash cart to work, what files do i need besides the games? ( Im new to AceKard ) i need the loader, and the new update + the games, and it should work?

OK! USe DSL.nds if u want to update using ur dslite or DS Phat! U canalso use if u have multiple acekards! USe the DSi.NDS if u want to update using ur dsi!( UR DSi has to be Version 1.3 or under)

 

[nadine7]
