Hacking Total noob needing help with Acekard 2i and EZ 3in1

[B3AR]

Alright so I bought a Acekard 2i a while ago and I'm like cool beans.

So I made that work with the default software or whatever, and its all good.

well I wanted to play SNES and GBA games on my DS so I google how to and everyones all like ZUMGA GET A EZ 3in1 and I'm like ok.

so I got one of those thingys and off the bat, when I put it in, on my main DS menu it says "There is no Game Pak Inserted" and when I go to the Acekard menu and click on Slot2 Card it says "There is no device in Slot-2" and I'm all like frowny face.

I've googled like every guide and none are helping me very much.

all I want to do is play GBA and SNES games, I don't really care about rumble or the browser.

can anyone walk me through this in the easiest way possible? I would totally appreciate it

(also, first time posting so if this is the wrong place LMK)

For Snes you don't need the Ez flash. Just download Snemul. And for GBA roms download them into your Acekard and then run the Gba Exploder.

Ever try reinserting your 3 in 1 back in? (seriously you never told us if you tried more than one time) You need to flash a game to nor to make it appear. (or does it show up as an option/exp pack?) If you use akaio you can load a gba game into nor by pressing a on the gba rom. (obviously you need the 3 in 1 inserted)

^^ jakob

thanks for showing me Snemul

thats awesome I'll work on that, Gba Exploder isnt working because it says there's no slot 2 card...

^Box

Yeah ive tryed everything, blowing on it, putting it in my friends DS, all that stuff. Think it might be broken? also I have no idea what the terms Flash or Nor mean

edit, Also, with Snemul, I go to load a SNES game and everythings good until it asks me to start the rom or go back. when I hit start, it doesn't load. any ideas?

Have you tried checking there is not a crapload of dust or something in the 3 in 1?

 

[B3AR]

^zoo yup blew in it and stuff

...have you actually tried putting a GBA rom onto the SD card to see if it shows up in the menu?

 

[dewback]

make sure you are using version .058b has support for the 3in1+

^^ bomb, yup, nothing happened. (before)

^ DEW I LOVE YOU that totally worked I had .057 I guess THANK YOU SO MUCH

Awesome, now I have GBA stuff working, anyone know whats up with Snemul?
It opens, I click on Select ROM, I click on Super Mario RPG (my rom), it says memory paging cleared and stuff, then it asks to press Start to start the rom or select to go back. when I press start though, it goes back anyway. any ideas?

It's one of the roms that can't be run on the emulator because of to little hardware.
