    Nintendo DS Acekard 2i and DSi 1.4 Software

    As per the title really. Got a few family members harping on at me that the cards do not work in their newer DSi's

    These have 1.4 and the Acekard website says 'No' to 1.4...

    Any workarounds? Family can be a pain in the arse at times! You do them a favour, then when it doesn't work they want the world!

    Have you tried the latest AKAIO 1.6 RC-1?

    Never ever put that on the card, only the Acekard software.

    It has come to light that they have only just informed me, even though they were not working at Christmas! They work in a normal DS and DSL, and from looking around it appears I have to run an update file in a DS or DSL which does not have 1.4 and then it should work on the 1.4 DSi console.

    I have also informed the family I am out of this game once I get them working! They just think you can send these things back...

    I would imagine by now that brand new AceKards must come with the updated firmware, otherwise if you have a 1.4 Dsi, you have to borrow an old DS for a few minutes and run the upgrade on that.

    Bought them over Xmas from DX, the DSi is the Xmas model which I guess is a 1.4
    Got access to an old DS so should be good.

    yes you need the update file. What it does is make your card appear as a retail game (danny phanton) and it is for this reason (copyright code) that the update is not included on the card.
    just google "acekard 2i 1.4" for the firware fix

    Download the ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds file
    put it in the games folder
    Put acekard2i in a DS/DS lite
    Run the ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds file and let it update the cart.
    Delete ak2ifw_update_14_DSi.nds and all is good
