Im helping a friend mod an o2ds on 11.6.0-39u. I need to use ntrboot to do so according to 3dshacks.guide, although the only flashcart I bought so long ago i was young and dumb and tore the label off. the case is white and the pcb is red. i do have a sky3ds and it might have come with that? the readme in the software says to go to the acekard website for updates. anyone have any idea what type it could be? it could very well be a clone but I at least need to figure out the category.

It's probably an AceKard 2i since that's the only flashcart they made that's firmware upgradable. Unless it's an old AK2, which isn't ntrboot compatible (non upgradable firmware)

I don't think it would be a modern Acekard. The Acekard 2i for example comes in a grey case. He probably has an original Acekard or Acekard+ which did come in a white case. So like you said too old, cannot be used for ntrboot.

To OP, I suggest you update the system to the latest firmware and use the seedminer method. Before you update, check and see if you can get the 3DS's friend code. If yes, great, go ahead and update then follow the seedminer method instead of ntrboot.

Hmm, you are right. I have never seen anyone with an original AK or AK+, they did not seem very popular.
Judging by pictures it's not an original AK, the design on that is different (MicroSD slot is closer to the edge for one)
Having trouble finding pictures of the AK+ so it very well may be that. It's certainly not an AKRPG. Could be an AK2/2i clone though.
