I have 2 updated acekard2i. I'm having problem running those 2 acekards on my JP unit 3DS. Its not even showing on the main menu. But they are running fine on my DSlite, DSi, and US 3DS. Can't find an answer anywhere.

contact issue?

have you tried sliding a thin bit of card behind the circuit board contacts to raise them?

it is one of the soloutions to the problem and or putting the card in and without pressing down to get it out, try pulling up on it as if you were trying to pull it out.

Is it safe to do this update my AK2i with my DS Lite? I've got a 3ds (aqua blue) coming next week but have no idea which firmware it will have.

Yeah, I updated my AK2i with my DS Lite and it still runs fine on the DS Lite. I then ran the update through my wireless on the 3DS XL to 4.3.10-U and plugged my AK2i into my 3DS and it works just fine.

Ok, this is bad news... users report that the new 3DS update (4.4.0-10) blocks this beta firmware. So maybe another month of waiting? >_>

JP 3DS might be blocking the US DS cart that it detects. I have no idea if JP 3DS blocks every non-JP DS cart you plug in it, but it may be blocking that specific one. I know there's no region-lock on DS games, only on DSi-enabled games, but this might be on the JP 3DS side.

Rather far-fetched assumption on my part though.

Hey guys, I sold my DSi XL back in February but I kept my Acekard. I just recently ordered a 3DS XL from Amazon and want to be able to use my Acekard with it. Am I screwed here since I won't be able to update the card on the 3DS XL?

No, prob not because it'll ship with < 4.4.0-10. The acekard currently runs with up to 4.3.0-10.
If its used, you may be hosed if the owner updated.

If you haven't updated the acekards bootloader in a while you may be hosed anyway. You would probably need the Deep Labyrinth icon at least.
Gonna have to borrow a dslite. :D

Yeah that sucks. I don't know anyone with a DS. I did order the 3DS XL new, though.

I believe the icon when I last used it was Dorasu.

What would you recommend? Buy a new card?

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
