Hacking Updated With DSL

[bluepowelly]

Hi guys and dolls,after a lovely year of enjoyment with ak2i, my son decided to update to 1.4.3!! I managed to update the ak2i via my old dsl and r4.

But when I put it in my dsi xl it says no card in slot I also have a 3ds on 3.0 and my friend has one on 2.2 and same result no card!!

Any ideas?

Sounds like contact issues . try this link :

Did you update using the latest firmware on the Acekard website?

Also, does it still work in your DSL?

 

[bluepowelly]

Yes updated with latest firmware off website. It's a contact issue with dsl! It's taking me ages to get it to work, I have packed the card til it is jammed and still no joy, keeps saying card error re-insert. Then all of a sudden it will say calculating 100%. I thought it had done but when it says press start for next card or re-boot, I pressed start and it said card error again. Looks like I will have to track down another dsl tomorrow, or any suggestions?

Thanks for your help

DS lite can't block flashcarts, so it's not a problem with your lite. I think your ak2i is bricked. Try reflashing your ak2i, since you have a ds lite and another flashcart (the r4 you mentioned on the first post). Here are the procedures of reflashing: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Updating_the_AK2i_Bootloader#Unbricking_a_bricked_cart

This is the process I am following!! When I swap my r4 over to the ak2i its not reading it cos of contact issues.

And you've tried the paper trick?

 

[bluepowelly]

I've tried every thickness of paper

 

[frogboy]

Well my friend, looks like you might be screwed.

you should make sure you didn't try paper that was to thick. it is possible to bend a slot-1 pin if you put to much force against it.

other flash kits/retail games are still working?

i have 12 acekards sitting in front of me that all have contact issues on the xl but not the lite. everything else works perfectly fine in my xl. the ak2i is built like shite, its a sad truth we must accept.

It read perfectly on the 3ds and dsi xl, with the error turn off power blah blah. But now it just says no card, so the update might have done something? Still trying to get hold of another dsl, do u think it will help anyway?

Thanks

 

[bluepowelly]

Plus why is it not showing up on 2.2 3ds either??

 

[bluepowelly]

What files do you have on the root of the microSD card?

 

[bluepowelly]

Akaio 1.8.9 and the 2 update files

Not entirely what was looking for. You should have have akmenu4.nds and _aio.

Ok look when I get home, but it is the latest firmware off the site.
