Hacking Can't get the Acekard 2i to work

[jweb]

I've just bought an Acekard 2i but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm using a dsi running 1.4.3E firmware and when I insert the card in to my dsi I see a chessmaster icon but when I try to launch it I just get an error message. I've googled everywhere and read lots of tutorials but all of them say the same thing which I have done. I've tried doing a full format using Windows and the Panasonic software but neither helped. I'm using an 8GB Micro SD card

The error message I get:

"An error has occurred.
Press and hold the power button to turn the system off.
Please refer to the Nintendo DSi operations manual for details"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

You must update your Acekard with a DS Lite or a DSi with 1.4.2 firmware. The Chessmaster icon means the AceKard works up to 1.4.2 firmware.

i think you may need to update your acekard to support the 1.4.3 dsi. You can get the file from acekard.com, you will need a dslite to use though to update your acekard. The file is called ak2ifw_update_3ds21_DSi143_onDSi_NO44 or similar, place it on your card in the root and run the acekard on the dslite and press a on the update that shows up when you boot the card. when its done, the card should work in the dsi.

Does it matter what firmware the DS Lite is on?

 

[tiggerlator]

The firmware on the ds lite is not update-able, so no it does not matter. I went into a shop and borrowed a ds lite to do mine

 

[jweb]

Ok thanks

time to buy a ds lite.

 

[tiggerlator]

Cant you borrow one, i went in a shop and did mine.

Don't you know anyone with a DS or a DSi lower than 1.4.3 firmware?

 

[jweb]

Everyone I know has their dsi updated. I'll just buy a cheap ds lite on ebay.

I'd buy it from a store that way you can walk back in and return it.

I've already bought one, it had a broken hinge so it was cheap

If you happened to live near either New York (currently visiting my parents) or Arizona (going back there for college in about 4 days), I could have helped you out, my DSi is 1.4.1 still running the Danny Phantom card. Everything's been running properly, so I never updated...

so I have a DSiXL with 1.4.2U firmware but it still is coming up with the black screen the OP is talking about, any help? I am trying to update but it won't let me in to do it.

When i try to load the update file on my DSL i get a message that says

"AK2i FIRMWARE UPDATE(3DSV3)
Chip ID:0fc2 HW:4444
This cartridge can't be updated."


The card works on the DSL but won't let me update the card.
