Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

[ChuckBartowski]

Yes. Or these are maybe too unpopular / unknown cards to block them. They blocked the good ones, they know what they're doing.

OK. I got to page 12 of this thread and couldn't bare to read anymore w/o commenting on some of this. Sorry for repeating what's been said before.

I think the answer is pretty obvious. The EZFlash does not have dual icons, you get a Tak icon whether it is in a DSi or Lite (I could swear at one point it did though), the blocked carts show up as an AKi or SCDS2 in a Lite and Danny Phantom (or whatever) in the DSi, do they not? It's not rocket science to figure that this is the problem or at least a part of it. The more a flash cart tries to brand it self and not look like a retail cart the easier it is going to be for someone to detect it. The unblocked carts just look more like a real cart to the DSi, this is NOT a targeted attack on the "good ones". 1 year later Nintendo figured out a way to do this for dual header carts, the DS(i) will be in it's grave courtesy of the 3DS by the time they figure out how to stop the EZFlash/et al. method. Don't worry, they'll be copying the EZFLash method in a few days.

You argument is invalid for M3i. It shows as Danny Phantom no matter what.

Nothin

should I buy a supercard dstwo? I have an m3i zero I bought 2 weeks ago and I thought it was the greatest thing on earth until almost everyone on here seems to think they aren't so great and I get the impression it could be several months until m3i fixes it for 1.4.1 where as supercard dstwo seems to really be on the ball. Would it be wise to A) wait for m3i to release update? B) just get a supercard dstwo?

ok so i have a Acekard 2i running AKAIO firmware, when will they bring out a different firmware to combat Nintendos, and is there any way to access the DSIWARE store without having to do the update?

the dstwo is great..it's really up to you if you want to invest in a new cart..if you do, the DSTWO is the one to get

I say get it

We aren't psychics (though Google seems to be getting closer to that level), so we have no idea when the Acekard team is going to update the firmware. There actually hasn't been very much from the Acekard team lately though (the Acekard team, not AKAIO team) so it might take a while, or they may catch wind of it and fix it up tomorrow. Truthfully, nobody has a set answer for that except for the people in the Acekard team.

As for the DSiWare store, I get the feeling you could have just checked yourself...I mean, it's not like Nintendo secretly does the update. They explicitly ask you if you want to update or not and supposing you see that, I'm guessing you will take the smart choice and say no.

just one question about it though. how do I upgrade it's firmware like the m3i zero? it doesnt have that nifty thing that you can flash the card so that you never need to buy a new one everytime they come out with a new firmware.

It updates in a similar fashion as the M3iZero, but it uses power from the DSi. So you just have to put the new firmware stuff in, plug it in and turn on your DSi, wait for 20+ seconds, and then use like normal.

oh wow that's amazing then, it's like it does the same thing but without the fancy cable also meaning you never need to buy another card everytime a new firmware comes out for the dsi xl

I think for the fun of it and as a second one in case soemthing did happen to my m3i zero I will get a supercard dstwo as well

this makes me happy as I miss all my games already

Got Acecard but haven't even updated to 1.4 yet

Yeah the trouble is when i goto the DSI Shop the update comes up then takes me to the system settings, i then select NO go back to the DSI Shop and the same thing happens all over again, so it looks like im unable to access the shop without accepting the update.

i knew this would happen one day but not so soon and sucks for the people who are fans of Pokemon B/W they won't be able to play not like anyone can play there will be a huge ap on that and i think some one will find a way around the 1.4.1 firmware

 

[giratina16]

I like Nintendo's thinking though. Kill the flashcards just before the month of gaming begins (Month of gaming meaning the month where the best games come out e.g. Black and White, etc.).

I'm going to be buying a DSi XL along with the SupercardDSTWO. Does this mean that my SCDS2 won't work?

It will work if a) The DSi XL doesn't come with the firmware pre-installed, and b) If you don't update.

There's no way of checking the firmware before purchase unless it's preowned, though...


Glad I have a DS Lite, to be honest.

Thanks for the reply.

I saw like two posters saying the SCDS2 works with 1.4.1 now. Am I missing something or does it really work now?

They just updated a file in it to make it work with the latest DSi update

It works, there is a thread for it somewhere where there are more people saying it works.
