Hacking Mario Kart, Acekart 2i and DSI XL.

[bentbob]

Hi there,

I am a little confused here. I set up the DSI XL to access the internet due
to the security on the router I had to use the advance options and it set up
the connection as connection 4.

When I try to play Mario Kart, it wants me to set up my connection however
it tells me that its not compatible. Is the only way to get the game to work is
to change the security on my router? or am I missing something quiet easy here?

Oh one last OT question... the DSI XL is new as my old DS Lite the top screen started
to shake, is that an easy fix?

Thanks

DS games can only use None or WEP encryption, even on a DSi.

And what do you mean by the screen shakes? It's wobbly in the case?

Hi Mate,

I'm guessing you are trying to use your OLD savegames on the new DSiXL? I went from a DSL with an AceKard2, and migrated to a DSiXL with an AceKard 2.1i. All my savegames work fine, and can access all my friend codes as previous.

Have you transerred your WFC settings from the old one to the new console? I did this on mine as soon as I received my new kit and works fine. My old DSLite worked ONLY on WEP, whereas the DSiXL will work with WPA, but as you have mentioned will connect via the Advanced options. You could try going back to WEP, incase of incompatabilities between your router and console.

* If there is an existing configuration on the new DS, tap "Ok" to confirm that you wish to overwrite the existing configuration.
* Once the transfer begins, it will take about half a minute.

All of the Friend Codes you had given or received on the previous Nintendo DS system will now work in the Nintendo DS system you transferred the ID to.
