Hacking Something that REALLY bothers me about the AK2i and 3DS

[xakota]

Okay so i picked up my 3DS today and, even though I was scared, I decided to bite the bullet and update my AK2i. It worked fine (After being bricked initially which scared the crap out of me), but something REALLY bothered me. When I booted up the card in my 3DS, the blue LED light flashed. This indicates that Wifi was being used. It only happened the first time, it won't do it anymore. I'm REALLY scared now. I feel like I just sent a message to Nintendo to mark me for to get bricked in the next update. Did this happen to anyone else? Does it mean anything?

No it does not mean anything. If you're worried, then return your 3DS and get a replacement.

No it does not mean anything.

Then why did it happen?

No your safe. The system sends a lot of information at first launch but It's not related to your card. Don't worry about It anymore.

Thank you but it'd help if you could be a little more specific please... like I played Face Raiders and ARGames for a while before I played my AK2i. So it's not "First launch", I don't think so anyway. What kind of info is being sent out anyway?

Read this thread as I think this is what is going on when you seen that light flash. http://gbatemp.net/t285655-3ds-update-process-analyzed

It is very likely your ds will report back that you're playing that Japanese game, if that bothers you then stop.

Spotpass is telling you about DS Game compatibility.
You didn't load a DS game before the flashcart.
It's nothing about wifi use, it's notification of notifications.

Yes, your 3DS is doomed, thanks to piracy.

Another one bites the dust!

This answer makes sense. I did have a notification after that. I feel better now, thanks.

Your 3DS sent a message to your local police station. Expect the SWAT team to break down your door any minute now.

Okay, so I was stupid and as soon as I got my 3DS booted up Acekard 2i without the 3DS update and now forever has a log of "Acekard 2i" in the system. NOw it's all updated and I have the Japanese symbol and activity log thing but AK2i is still there. Reckon anything bad will happen? I know they won't brick it due to legality but wondering if there's anything they could do ;-;

 

[Squeeks]

I hope not, it's good you can be one of the few to keep everyone updated on the matter, though!

Not sure if this will do anything but try formatting the system memory

The punchline came too soon.
