Hacking How to Buy An AceKard 2i From DealExtreme

[Glisern]

Ordered mine last night (14 hours ago aprox) and on the order page, the status for the order is listed as "Expedited Order Received - in stock"

On another order, the shipping time was a SHOCKING 3 days. from hong kong to Norway. shipped 14, came today.

Just ordered mine too, it says "waiting for supplier". Hope it'll work out.

Mine said "Waiting for supplier" for about 10 days before it went to "packaging" so you probably
just have to wait..

I got freaked out by the stories of the bad batches and ordered mine elsewhere, probably turned out wrong and there ok lol.

Are they fake? I'm planning to buy one for my friend.

Bad batches refers to the Acekard 2.1, and you will probably get a 2.1 cart from the bad batch regardless of where you purchase it from.

Thanks OP! Just ordered mine...

Finally, status is Shipped. For those who bought from there, do they provide a tracking number for the free shipping?

 

[computarman]

Dx doesn't give you a tracking number on free shipping if the order is less than $15 according to their faq. I think they said to contact them if you don't receive the order within 14 days after the order says shipped. I've order a few times from DX without any problems. It just takes patience. Their AK2I is about half what a lot of places are charging. As long as I know I will eventually get my order or they will make it right, I am willing to be very patient to save money.

 

[inter4ever]

Thanks for the quick reply, computarman. Yes their price is very good. Hopefully after I receive my order I will order more from them in the future.

I'm asking because I'm planning on getting the DSi Xl in the US. I used to have a DS lite and an original R4 (sold them a long time ago) so I'm quite outdated in terms of info about these cards and the firmware.

1) Do the cards from DX work with 1.4 FW right out of the box?
2) So from my understanding, if the card is not preloaded with 1.4 FW, I have to flash this with a non-dsi?
3) Does the DSi series have new firmware now (compared to DS lite)? Does the card work with the latest official DSi firmware (specially in the US)?
4) Is there any chance this card may not work with the DSi XL (US region) that is coming out at the end of March?

my friend bought an ak2i from dx after it stopped showing them in the search

took him about 7 weeks to finally get it, but it works

just be patient

Looks like the workaround doesn't work anymore, bummer DX is my favourite site

It worked for me a two days ago.

Follow the instructions in the first post.... it seriously doesn't get any easier than that.

Well it's not working anymore. You try what the first post says and the shopping cart says this:
"Shopping cart is empty. Apologies but the product you have chosen is unavailable for ordering due to supply or quality issues.
ETA of its availability will be posted once it is known."

Ah... it's out of stock.
Not really surprising since R4/M3Simp/DSTT/R4Clone/DSTTClone card owners are pretty much forced to buy new cards now.

So it's not that the work-around doesn't work... it's that they have no stock.
And rather than selling you a product they don't have, they've pulled it.

 

[cookie15]

Wow I literally ordered this a few hours ago. I got the email confirmation and everything but still waiting on suppliers. Hope this doesn't get rejected.

 

[Sumea]

Yeah...

Seems like they've pulled all of flashcarts from the inventory as well - I tried clicking few links from the DX buy link thread, and they all say the same thing, not adding the product.

well... It was fun.
