Hi,

I just dusted off my old DSi and insterted the acekard 2i. I was going to update its firmware, however it somehow got stuck for almost an hour (at 5%) so i pressed reset. I apparently shouldnt have done that since now the acekard shows up as a blank icon with no text whatsover (in the ds menu). When i press the "run game/cartridge button" it goes black and tells me "An error has occured".

Is there anyway to fix this or is it broken?
Can i reset the firmware of the acekard 2i by using a DSlite, if i manage to get my hands on one?
Can i force the cartridge to run the firmware update or something like that?
Am I screwed and have to buy a new acekard?

Thanks
Regards LL

You should try and run it on a DS lite and update from it.
If that doesnt work, run the update file from another Ak2 and when it tells you to take out the cartridge and put it back, put back your broken one and update it :)

No problem. Upgrading it using another flashcart should definetely work.
