Hacking Is this Hardware legit?

[SgtThom]

The HW says HW:8181 and the Chip ID is 0fc2 On 28 Jan, Normatt located an updated fix for the AK2i: http://www.mediafire.com/?n4nm0i5dmtm

Should that fail, try the R4i Update fix (I had the same readings from my recently purchased AK2i and same problem running the update).
All I did was run the following R4i Update fix on my DSL and everything went as it should: http://www.r4ds-ds.com/Kernel/d/r4ifw_update_14_DSi.zip

HWID 8888, aka 88 is legit.

I'm not convinced you are accurate with your 'information'. You keep posting your definitive reply as to which HWIDs are fake, but AK Team don't go to that extent of defining which ones are real or fake. Where have you sourced this from? If its not based on proven facts, then you are simply scaremongering.

The new fix work!Than god mines not a clone.

Sgt, has your AK2i got a protruding chip under the sticker?

I haven't check yet.But wasn't there a thread stating that hardware 81 are the non-Actel ones?


Any ways it does work with the DSi but it show up like the danny phantom Icon.

I have 4 0fc2 8181 cards, all received within the last 2-3 weeks. 1 from DealExtreme, 1 from FocalPrice and 2 from 7Dayshop in the UK/ Guernsey. All are non Actel, and instead of the windows have a small dimple from the blob chip underneath.

All 4 are identical, and on 7Dayshop's website they explicitly list them as genuine. They are a fairly well known retailer in the UK and have been in business since 1998, although it was the first time I have ordered from them.

The first card from DX had the same issue as SgtThom's but worked with the Normatts updated firmware. I've no idea about the other 3, as Normatts updated FW was the first one I ran on them. I thought it safest to run the latest version.
