Dialexio said:The HW ID *should* be two digits (i.e.- 44 or 81), so I'm thinking it's fake.
Try running AKAIO on it. If AKAIO doesn't work, it's fake.

It's legitimate. There are no fake Acekard 2i's. HW8181 probably just means HW81. Nothing special.
bach3609 said:Yeah, I have just discovered that. AKAIO is limited to 16 bits so it is only 2 digits. However the updating program is 32 bits. (I think) Therefore it is 8181 instead of 81. And for HWID 44 it is 4444.

My 1.3u DSI see's the cart in the menu. When I try to load it gives me the "error,power off dsi, check manual etc". I tried 4.21/akaio 1.5 firmwares and none of them work. The cart does work with my DSL though fine. I do have a real one according to the "Cloned AK2i, Official Announcement" thread linked above.

You have things confused. AKAIO is 8bits and the updater is 16bits

So you dont have dsi 1.3 but have dsi fw 1.4 - just fix it and will be working
Or use the paper trick...
Err... Yes there are.Revolutionize said:There are no fake Acekard 2i's.
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.SgtThom said: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.
It would be interesting to find out if this new Firmware upgrade posted by Normatt also works on the AK2i 0fc2 8181 cards that previously required the R4i Ultra firmware update.Dark^'^Knight said:I'm not convinced you are accurate with your 'information'.
