first thing you need to do is check the anti-counterfeit code.

if your card is reported as being real then you should read up on the contact issue. unfortunately it is a flaw with the ak2i design that causes issues for pretty much everyone.

Yeah, i checked if it was a counterfeit, and it wasn't. I read stuff about the "paper trick", but that only got my Acekard stuck in the Cartridge, and i just spent 15 minutes taking it out. I tried tha paper trick underneath the PCB Contacts, the one where you put it on the sticker side, and both combined, but nothing happened. Please help

if the ds isn't detecting it then it isn't making contact. you'll need to try a different thicknesses of paper until you find what works best for your situation.

I tried so thick, it got stuck in the ds (I know, that's what she said)

you want to go thin and then build it up. going really thick at first can cause the cart to put pressure on the pins, potentially bending one.

OK, I started really thin too, but I'll see how it goes. BTW, I used my NSMB cart as a reference to compare to the Acekard, and noticed the contacts are really low comparing to the NSMB cart. I tried using paper just below that but it's not working and some paper got stuck (which I basically had to pry open the Acekard to get it out), even when very thin.

Wait.... Where are you putting the paper...?

Ok, I do it a bit differently, use like envelope paper thickess paper but dont cut it just to go under the pins, make it cover the back of the card and fold over under the pins; Get what I mean?

[Ericthegreat]

I've tried that, didnt work, just got more stuck. btw, I don't have a 2i, I have a 2.1 for my DS Lite.

 

[Another World]

i've never heard of a 2.1 having a contact issue. check that you don't have a bent pin in your ds lite slot.

you don't see it on the nds firmware as a bootable cart? or you boot it and other things happen?

I just don't see it at all, and my nds boots any other commercial game just fine. idk :/ should I send it back and ask them to fix it?

 

[Another World]

as i said, i haven't heard of a 2.1 having a contact issue. i suppose that it isn't out of the question, i just don't think it would happen out of the box. i would suggest you contact your reseller and ask for a replacement. it is obvious that something is wrong with the card, as you stated that commercial games are working just fine.

[vaibzzz123]
