Hacking Help with updating version

[SirChick]

Hi guys,

I just downloaded the update to get the version to work on DSi XL 1.4.2 the file is named: "ak2ifw_update_3ds_v2_DSi"

I placed it in root - then loaded up my DS and loaded the file, upon loading it says "failed please restart". So i tried a different DSi XL which was on 1.4. Same thing.

Then i tried a different acekard encase it was broken, and the same issue happened.

This is how i placed the file on the SD:

Any one got any ideas on the issue?

I had this same problem. I temporarily replaced AKAIO with the old Acekard firmware and then used the latest update file. The update file worked then. After I was sure the update succeeded, I deleted the old Acekard firmware and put the latest version of AKAIO back on.

I see so it might be some kind of conflicting bug ?

I have no idea what the problem is. In fact, I only had to do this for the first 3DS update. I was able to update to the latest version for versions 2.0/2.1 of the 3DS without having to replace AKAIO. Go figure. Anyway, let me know if what I suggested allows you to update successfully.

Bare in mind im using NDSi XL not a 3DS - but i hope it does work for me like it did for you.
