Hacking Quick question on AK2i update for DSi 1.4

[ToneEQ]

Trying to update my 4th AK2i cart on a DS Lite, when i remove and re-insert the cart, the DS reboots. This didn't happen on my first 3 carts and they all flashed fine and work on a DSi. Does it mean this cart has already been updated? I don't have a DSi around at the moment to test it out.

I would try putting the update .nds on the cart you're having trouble with and try that.

Update this cart alone with the "DSi" labelled file.

Update this cart alone with the "DSi" labelled file.

Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks.

I didn't think of that as it just contradicts this guide:
Setting up your Acekard 2.1/Acekard 2i, How to set your acekard up.

somerandomguyO_ODepending on what console you will be using, choose the dsi file if your updating the acekard on a dsi, or the dsl file if you have a ds light to update on

Yep this guide is kind of outdated...
You can find a better one here.

The DSi does not allow you to eject the cart beyond the DSi Menu, while the DS Lite does. That's why the two firmware update files are named the way they are, both are identical except the DSL one allows you to eject the cart so you can unbrick another.

In the Guide Jak has already linked to, I took all the 'blue screen' photos of the both updates in progress using a DS Lite.

While both will run on a DS Lite, there's simply less chance of anything going wrong if you use the DSi file.

As for your other question, no it doesn't already mean it's been updated. I've updated mine many times and it still goes to 100% progress and doesn't reboot.

1st try using the DSi file. If that doesn't work, initiate the DSL update on one of your other Acekards then switch the carts as in the guide. Failing that it could be a clone.
