Hacking Got a great deal on Acekard 2i - New & need help.

[jamielee321]

Recently purchased a Acekard 2i, just arrived.

Bought it at usbextremeshop.com Came with free shipping

What needs to be done to get it up, up to date, and running?

Just threw out an old DSTT.

So Happy, great decision

Read http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=154624 and u should be good.

 

[jamielee321]

Are there any other firmwares available than AKAIO?

 

[Wulfgar]

You could use the outdated offical one, or ysmenu or w/e it's called but it could brick your card so I wouldn't try it.

Ignore Wulfgar, he obviously only read the DSTT part of the post.

Ha, I have an M3/R4, similar to the DSTT, and am hoping to get rid of it for an AceKard 2 soon

You shouldn't really need to use anything other than AKAIO, it's the ideal firmware for standard users.
Just make sure you grab the latest firmware and the latest loaders, it can be a little confusing to set up at first though.

 

[jamielee321]

Where can I grab the newest version of AKAIO... and what is the latest version... 1.4?

 

[Bear831]

Actually its 1.5, grab it on the main page.

 

[jamielee321]

Ok Ill grab AKAIO 1.5.

Where can I download some skins?

 

[Wulfgar]

Get skins at http://www.acekard.com/skin.php and http://www.ndsthemes.com/themes/title/ak2

 

[jamielee321]

Cool selection of skins.

Is there any way to create your own?

I don't feel like explaining anything directly, but here's the wiki for AKAIO.

LOL they got the R4i SDHC "(Original)" on there.

 

[jamielee321]

Meh I don't care about the price, I rather pay a couple extra dollars for peace of mind that I am getting an orginal card, from a seller that I trust. I don't want the risk of getting scammed with a clone card from a seller I don't know.

Plus I got free shipping.

Well worth the money.

 

[PokemonV]

But, DealExtreme is just so awesome.

 

[jamielee321]

Meh, I prefer UsbExtremeShop

 

[jamielee321]

Getting back to my question.... Is there any way to create your own skins?

 

[Knarf]

I got mine for $6 from DX as a replacement because the person was nice.
