Acekard 2i firmware 1.4 fix

[clay008]

Why 'must' I update my nephew's 1.2 DSI? Can't I just use his 1.2 DSI to upgrade my AK2i card, then leave his DSI the same at 1.2? He doesn't care or know about flashcards nor does he even want to download Flipnotes, so leaving it the way it was would be fine with him... Swapping the 2 DSI may be the easiest option for a retard like me...

jus so u know
flip notes is free and its awesome
and its better if u update
u can update on ur 1.2 dsi and then just upgrade to 1.4
it doesnt make a diff but it just makes more sense to do

Updating your Acekard 2i will work on your nephew's Nintendo DSi with firmware, and don't update your nephew's DSi to 1.2.

I posted a neat little trick in another topic to bring back the old AK2i icon/txt, but it's useless, cause it doesn't boot in AK2i icon mode, but fun, makes you wonder what the update cause the old loader still is there on tha AK2i

This is great ... I unknowingly blocked my card yesterday because my kids wanted to try out the new flip app ... and I found out very soon afterwards what had happened. Sucked at the time, but for me, a fix is available just 24 hours later ... very lucky. Thanks for posting the news here so quickly. Will give the fix a try ASAP.

Worked like a charm! But why Danny Phantom?!? Why not a Mario game?

Is there a way to change the icon/cart name?

Yeah, you are absolutely right! Do not upgrade your nephew's DSi firmware(FW).. leave it on 1.2 since he doesn't care about bunch of stuff on the DSi shop..
I am planning to buy a new DSi actually, one is updated and the other will stay on lower FW for as long as its working..
I believe that the primary reason why Nintendo put FW update on DSi system, is not 'entirely' because of the new cool applications and/or DSiwares and such, but to block piracy as much as they could.. (PSP has the same issue, I suppose)
Nintendo is tempting people to upgrade to latest FW by presenting new cool application such as flipnote, however, this latest FW block all flashcarts..
I bet they would not release any new cool application/DSiwares until next FW upgrade on DSi.. Just so to lure people to update their DSi and block their flashcarts before they get this new cool application/DSiwares.. Just a guess though..
Also, FW upgrade on DSi is made to patch its vulnerabilities so as FW upgrade goes up it will create more and more problems pirating it... Nintendo made a mistake on DSPhat/Lite since they have no way to stop piracy on the system itself.. However, they do have an alternative solution by making the game itself anti-piracy proof.. just like FFCC: Echoes of time and many more.. which we all know can be cracked easily..

If you could keep one DSi on lower FW while others on latest then that will be nice.. Using the lower FW to upgrade your flash cart to work on latest FW is the best option for you..

In the long run, piracy will always win for they have nothing to lose but time and they will always get a work around.. (Nintendo will lose alot xD)
Congrats to AK team for the nice update although, I won't upgrade just yet.. I will see how things come before making a move..

Yay!! I love my new Dannykard 2i lol!!

 

[4coolday]

Acekard Team is great !

 

[dinodv]

updated my acekard2i on my old DS phat (luckily i kept it!)...

dannykard2i works like a charm!

moral of the story:

DON'T update your dsi firmware until u know what it does!

although they probably can't admit it, job well done team AK!

 

[Nocturno]

Thanks for the update! Works Great!, I don´t like the new Dany Phantom icon though..

 

[ultrafunix]

how do you put the ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds on, do you just put it on your cards root, or in a certine folder

 

[Darrien14]

YOU CAN PUT IT ANYWHERE

sorry if this is stupid but does this mean now that the DSi reads the AceKard as a proper game its future update proof, or can nintendo easily work around this?

We'll see!

But in my opinion Nintendo 'could' get work around it.. if not, then we'll be in luck!

 

[BoxShot]

We won't know until another firmware update because you know there might be other things that they could use to block flashcarts. Go ask Ninty

 

[misticknight]

lol fair enough, it just seems to me lik ap retty smart hack, but i dont know how these things work.

Then again, Nintendo is a very huge gaming company and they will do what ever they can to stop it xD
And yea, that is very pretty smart hack. Probably, one of the wisest!
I just hope too that there's no way to block flashcart anymore.. coz it's really pain to wait for weeks after every new firmware upgrades.. yea?
Just imagine that we have to wait for weeks for every firmware upgrades.. xD

It can read Acekard 2i on your Nintendo DSi but it's in wrong icon (Danny Phatom: Urban Jungle). Just run it and it will show you the Acekard 2i firmware.
