GBATemp AceKard 2 ReviewQUOTE said:Unlike most slot-1 cards, the acekard 2 does not override your auto-boot/DS menu setting. If you have it set to go to the console's menu, it will go to the menu. Booting takes approximately 2 seconds once you've clicked 'A' on the health screen.

When it prompts you to press A to turn it off, use the power switch instead. Insert your flashcard.
you will lose access to pictochat and download play until you complete initial setup (undoing this softmod), though. The process is fully reversible by booting into the firmware menu and redoing the settings.
Wouldn't that also mean your clock doesn't track time (or the correct time), which would throw off some games?VatoLoco said:I personally like going to the DS menu first, but if anyone is interested, here's the non-flash way to boot straight to your Acekard menu (thanks to FatD for sharing the method).
