I just bought an Acekard 2i to use on my 3DS from http://realhotstuff....ping-p-321.html which is listed as an official reseller but when I peeled off the sticker to get the code well this is how it looks now

I emailed Real Hot Stuff about this but should I actually be concerned at all? they are an authorized reseller after all so seems unlikely it's a counterfeit card and you don't get anything for verifying your card do you?

edit: sorry just realized the title got cut off... lack of sleep does that to a person >_

it could be a fake sticker, designed not to have the code. i haven't heard of those yet, but it is entirely possible. see if you can seperate the two parts to get to the number. also try updating the bootloader. if you can get the bootloader updated (regardless of what is flashed there now), and akaio runs, then just enjoy it.

I wish I hadn't taken my sticker off at all, it was shiny.

don't let resellers tell you that crap. they know exactly where they are buying them from and if they are legit or not. they just use that excuse so you don't go filing a paypal complaint, as paypal has been freezing accounts thanks to recent emails from nintendo. they will do anything to to raise attention to their illegal flash kit web sites.

no. they are going after resellers who have thousands of dollars in their accounts. i know a few sites that received orders to stop selling, some switched to new paypal accounts. but that trick only works for a few weeks. eventually paypal caught up with them and froze their accounts, with lots and lots of money sitting in them. guess who got to keep all that money?

if your personal account was frozen then you should contact paypal and ask why.

They said there was a bug in their system.
I don't trust PayPal anymore.

Yeah, if it works fine and you can play every single (or almost) game out there w/ no issues whatsoever, just use it, sometimes the less you know the better, I mean if you know you got a fake one you would be all "annoyed," "irritated" and just wish you hadn't wasted time and money on so-and-so site and you start looking at your AK2i differently and bent on getting an original cart and .... that's probably just me but I've learned that "don't fix what is not broken."

Lol.

    I don't agree that Switch has a poor library as you said tho. There are tons of good games.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'll never forgive microsoft for making Halo target a T rating instead of M now
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Compared to other consoles it kind of is switch just has like 6 main IPs worth any while and it makes them their money so
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    They still have 1000's of ports in they library, they still count.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think we can all agree PC will always be worth it to dump more money into
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I want to buy a console because I can't get it on others and get value of it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Game consoles do hold more value tho compared to old pc parts, so not sure what you trying to say.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Didn't say they didn't I said they had a shit library just because it has 12,000 titles doesn't mean the games are any good
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The main IPs in Nintendo library are the only good titles I always hear about
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Superman and Astrobot the only games I hear about on PS4/5, but that does not mean that is the only good games on PS.

    You could probably name more on Xbox because you play Xbox more
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    40. Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2 lol top reason to buy switch
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea prob, n I own a Switch also, not just pirate the "good" games n play on a emulator. So I played lots of good games on actual Switch over the years, been a good console, esp for such dated hardware.

    It's an itchi io situation imo it has a few handful of good games thousands on the site but most are shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I never was a fan of Bayonetta games, but it has a big following of fans for some reason. They may be shit to you, but good to others.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'd love it if the switch 2 became my main future device but most just have shit titles that don't make it worth it when I could drop money on other titles that get my interest

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Switch 2 will be your most powerful handheld (most likely) but Nintendo has always been a generation behind Sony/ Xbox, so doubt it will get the newest of games, n if it does, will be a watered down version, like Switch 1 got
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Most powerful hardly series x specs will still crap on it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most powerful handheld I said. I imagine it won't last long tho, ROG or Steamdeck 2 will prob overpower it. I will prob buy a switch2 tho, gotta have that Mariokart 9.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I kinda doubt that also Asus will keep releasing or if Xbox doesn't come out with some handheld by then
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Og switch was kind of the first most powerful option for it's portability time
