acekard

just got a acekard 2i and a new dsi for my daughter the card wont work in it but it works ok in a ds what does that mean

 

When you bought it, did you buy it with the most updated firmware that is able to run on the 1.41 version of the DSi?

 

ummmmmm how do i know what firmware is on it

ive just put firmware 1.8.1 onto the card

 

Well if it is working on the DS and not on the DSi, it is most likely that the Acekard has the 1.3 firmware. That means it can't run on the DSi firmware which is probably 1.4 or higher.

Luckily you can update the Acekard firmware using the DS with the lower firmware.

Just follow the directions on this site.

Scroll down to Firmware Update.

You put Akaio 1.8.1 on the microsd card, but that's separate. What you need to do is upgrade the Acekard firmware using the DS with the lower firmware.

 

so if i update that then it will play in the dsi right?

 

Yeah you just have to download the file that is on that website and put it on your microSD card, put the Acekard in the DS and run the file. Once it is updated, it will work on the DSi.

 

how can something so easy be so hard i down loaded it and extracted and put it in the root folder i guess thats the one that says aio on it i put the card back in the ds and it says system error if i take the files back out of the folder but leave them on the card then it just goes to the normal games screen

 

put the ak2ifw_update_141.DSL.nds file on the root of the card, not inside any folders, then run the card on your DS and run the file.

 

ok hang on ill try that

i dunno what im doing wrong here i just put the files back on the card put it in the ds and the acekard screen comes up i press that then micro sd card flashes press that and its the games list

 

When you load the acekard into the DS, load it, then you have to click back, there is an arrow on the bottom screen on top. Click the arrow to go back and you will find the update file.

 

pressing the arrow and it aint doing anything

so frustrating

 

This is what your microsd card should look like...

The file is there, you just can't find it.

 

mine says aio,akmenu4,ak2ifw_update_141_dsl and ak2ifw_update_141_dsi

 

You only need the ak2ifw_update_141_dsl

the other one is used if you are going to use a DSi to update your card, but you're going to use a DSL

 

taken that off put back in ds pressed the acecard icon that take s me to a screen with akaio 1.8.1 on the top screen and the time and date. on the bottom screen it shows a micro sd card flasing and the little arrow if i press the arrow it does nothing if i press the picture of the card it just takes me to the games menu.sorry to be a pain here

 

the file will be there, you just have to click on the green arrow to take you to the root of the microsd card, it is the only file there, there will be no other files.

 

im pressing it now but its not taking me anywhere

 

okay, when you first load the acekard, click on the flashing micro sd card icon, then the file will be in there.

 

found it it was in with the games wooppps

 

Yeah, I knew it was in there somewhere, You should make a new folder on the root of your micro SD card named "games" and put your games in there.


I'm off to sleep....It's 3 in the morning.

Let me know if you get it working.
