hi everyone, hoping someone can help, we haven't used the 3ds for ages and im now realising its because my son updated the firmware and it won't work anymore - An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER button etc so we are unable to play any games using this card. I haven't had to play around with this for ages either so I have absolutely no idea how to fix it and am out of practice. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated as his dsiXL has stopped working and he wants to play this one in the holidays. Thanks so much.

If you have access to another DS that the Acekard presently works on, then you can run the latest update file while your Acekard is running on that DS to make your Acekard compatible with any 3DS that's on version 4.3 or lower.

unfortunately his dsiXL has stopped working last night actually when we turn it on the button flashes once and goes dead so I think its broken so we don't have another to do that with unfortunately :(

You either need to find another DS that the Acekard still presently works with, or you need to buy a new DS or flashcart.

acekard isnt compatible with the newest firmwares anymore, you need another flashcard

Let me reiterate the point that you only need to buy a new flashcart if you don't have access to another DS you can use to update your Acekard. If you can update your Acekard, then it can be made to work with 3DS version 4.3.0-10 and anything lower.

It is true, however, that the Acekard will likely never be able to work with anything higher than 4.3.0-10 (the most current 3DS version is 6.1.0-12 at the time of this post). If you plan on using a flashcart with your 3DS for the foreseeable future, it is recommended you buy a new flashcart like the Supercard DSTWO (best) or R4i Gold 3DS (good), or get a DS/DSLite that will forever work with the Acekard. New 3DS games will require you to update your 3DS to whatever the latest software is at the time.

I personally use my Acekard with my DS and only use my 3DS with 3DS games.

In the Acekard menu, just run that file and let the update finish. Then it should work on your 3DS if it's on a system version at or lower than 4.3.0.
