Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

[higart]

How unlucky is this?

My daughter did something to her DSi at the weekend and asked me to fix it. Didn't have time and only got around to it tonight.

Couldn't solve the problem so updated the firmware.

good news- problem solved... bad news, R4i no longer runs!

Get on the PC and first search of the problem reveals this thread!

Sick as a parrott. If only I had been a good father and done this at the weekend

I updated then came on here too

totally gutted, only had my DSI XL for 2 weeks :s

Do i wait for a fix for my Acekard 2i or buy a new one?

 

[higart]

I think it's called learning the hard way xLaraCroftx

I do know not to do my other daughters now though...

Is it worth buying an EZ-Flash Vi ,iSmart DS or a Hyper R4i or hope they can fix the acekard 2i? i have 9 days before Last Window The Secret of Cape West comes out!

It's exactly the same situation as with the Firmware 1.4 update. If your DSi is on FW 1.4.1, then you will need to use a DS Lite or a DSi with an earlier firmware.

I'm not so sure about that. The iEdge is updatable in the DSi as well - as far as I know (I don't have one).

Let's send good vibrations too those guys who made the last AK2i-Update. Very good thoughts.

The iEdge uses a completely different method of updating it's firmware. Just because the iEdge can be updated in a DSi doesn't mean the Acekard can.

We know it was Acekard who did the last Acekard 2i firmware update, but they were more active back then. Don't assume there will be one for 1.4.1, as there's no guarentee there will be one.

The same goes for all these R4i xxx carts, don't assume there will be an update for them. The Supercard Team are fairly active, so I imagine there's a good chance of the DSTWO being patched within a few weeks.

Thanks a lot for that info. I didn't know that. I thought it came from Team Akaio.

Acekard team was sending those "Danny Phantom" fixes unofficially, but first it came from one of the users.

Er, it's Normmatt (AKAIO team) that posted it (and claims he found it on a chinese forum) and the official team links to his post on their site.

We don't even know how Nintendo detected flashcarts apart from real games this time. So asking when it is going to be fix is pointless.

Nintendo DSi Menu Ver 1.4.1U

+ This update provides behind-the-scenes improvements to system performance.

"Behind-the-scenes" = Cannot be experienced = Is not needed = Is not included = Update made solely to fuck with flashcarts.

r4i and m3i zero don't work on the update

 

[nomercy]

anyone know where to buy a cheap ds lite?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! not forever

I doubt it will be forever, especially for the DSTWO, but some of the other, more outdated carts could never get fixed. You may find buying a new cart is the only solution.

I also wouldn't advise rushing to Shoptemp to buy a new cart as next week, Nintendo could release 1.4.2 and block the remaining carts.

Sorry to sound pessimistic, just being a bit realistic.
