Im trying to update my ackeard via my SCDS2 on a 1.4.2 dsi, all im getting is

"AK2I FIRMWARE UPDATE (3DSV2)

CHIP ID: 01c2 HW:3642

This cartridge can't be updated."

Now obviously the chip id and HW is wrong because im running the program on a Supercard DSTwo, waiting for it to prompt me to switch out the card.

Im using "ak2ifw_update_3ds_v2_DSi.nds" that I got off the acekard website. Can anyone help me get this running so I can update the acekard please, i've tried running on 2 micro sd's one 8gb and one 2gb

That will only work if you're using the ak2ifw_update_3ds_v2_DSL.nds in a DS Lite or DS Phat. The DSi doensn't let you switch the cards, so you have to use a DS Lite or DS Phat and the DSL update.

i have two questions after read your questions

1. why you need to use a DSTwo card to do the update since your DSi is still in DSi V1.42 , i thought you can update the ak2i directly.
2. Just like HammerGuy said , if you want to use a Supercard , you need to get a DS to do it , because there will be a "switch cards" step ...

No, he can't, because his Acekard's physical firmware is still in 1.4.1. He updated the DSi to 1.4.2 before he updated the Acekard to 1.4.2.
