Where can I get the old bootloader update files? I am using an old DSlite with it and I would really like it to make it show up as AK2i in the DS firmware again, also it was way faster. I would really like it to go back to the standard loader. Your help is much apreciated.

the original bootloader with the ak2i icon was never released.

Hey everyone i have a problem i have a Acekard 2i and im trying to update the card to version 1.4.4 and i got all the files from their website and when i try to flash it says "UPDATE CANCELLED, REBOOT DS". I'm trying to update it on a DSI with 1.4.3U for a DSI XL with 1.4.4U. I dunno what im doing wrong i followed instructions im just at a stand still right now. there is an option within the menu that says WIFI Update or something like that does anyone think that will work?

flash the bootloader using the official acekard firmware, not akaio.

is there an official website? cause im using the Acekard.com site download that has the Akaio one.

Edit: Is it where it says OLD Official Firmware 4.23? then i just add the update and try to update again?

you are posting in a thread dedicated to the discussion of a guide for doing exactly what you are trying to do. have you bothered to read the guide? it has all of the information you need, including a link to the official acekard firmware.
