Acekard 2i firmware 1.4 fix

[dsromfinder1337]

Well, I used my origional DS, and it worked. Now I can trick my friends into thinking I own a Danny Phantom game! But, will Nickelodien be ok with it?

Better question: Who cares?

I do, if Nick sues.

How can they sue? The update is unofficially official. Team Acekard never 100% confirmed they made it, just that there is one. Either way, I doubt they'll care. If anyone'll care about it, it'll be TQH, which I doubt.

Its still using copyrighted material.

okay, dude, maybe he was fucking trolling all of you, and you guys took it a little seriously

An update was released for DS iPlayer. (on Dsi Firmware 1.4)

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=176147

You can perform this update even on a DSi Firm. 1.4. updated.

Is it possible to update the AK2i, using the same method? or not?

It would be very useful for those who do not have access to a DSLite-Phat.

If possible, I hope so.

 

[anaxs]

no its not possible
ul need another ds lite/phat to update or a 1.3 or lower v of dsi

I know the way it was done the update of AK2i, it is not possible.
But if it was possible to do this on iPlayer, it would theoretically
possible with other flashcards, creating a self-executable file.

Or am I talking nonsense?

Iplayer has inbuilt ram, we're not sure if that is used for the iplayer updating method.

 

[anaxs]

it is used for the iplayer

Is this unofficial fix reversible? Or will it permanently change my Acekard 2i headers to Danny Phantom's?

 

[WeakNiZ]

I was wondering if I used this for my iTouch2, will it work, or will it totally corrupt the whole cartridge?

It's official. It's most likely reverable.

It would corrupt your cart. It's only made for the AK2i, not the iTouch2.

Hi,
i'm Josh.
I have a firmware update problem too. When I do the DSi update on my DS Original and DS Lite (as my DSi is on 1.4), it works, it updates, but when I put it in my DSi, it still reads as Acekard 2i, and doesn't work. I heard it is supposed to be read as Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle. When I try and do the DSL update on my DSL or DS and it says To Start Update, Reinsert card, etc. I do that, and press B. It still stays the same. When I press B, then start, I still get nothing, it still says the same thing. When I don't reinsert the card and do those, it still says the same. Please, somebody...help me. What am I doing wrong?

--------------
Edit: I think my one is a clone...what update should I use?

If your Acekard 2i is a clone, I think the update might not work. Did you try using AKAIO 1.5 to check if your flashcart is original?

 

[Slyakin]

Wait a minute... I read in a previous page (Don't ask which, too much crap) that this was possibly unofficial. So, I went to the AceKard website, and it doesn't mention anything about the DannyKard 2i... So, maybe I should wait some more and just see about if whether or not I should do this update? If it's unofficial, I could just skip it, wait, and maybe receive an official update that has the AceKard icon, and won't involve all this DSL/DSPhat nonsense?

 

[shikinami]

As far as I know, this fix is made by the Acekard Team, but it's considered unofficial because the way this fix works (using a retail game icon). That's why they didn't put it in the official site. If you have an DSi with firmware prior to 1.4 and don't plan to update it now, then there's absolute no need to use this fix.

 

[KicksDS]

I haven't read through this whole thread, but just to make sure.

I am able to do this with an Acekard 2i, with AKAIO firmware (I'm not sure which AKAIO firmware it is, but I remember trying to update to the latest version a while ago, and all my save files were gone, so I switched back)?
My DSi has E1.3 firmware

And I use the
ak2ifw_update_14_DSi
file right?

Just making sure :]

 

[omgpwn666]

Yeah,use that file. And your saves were gone because you just have to set your default save type to .nds.sav instead of .sav do that through system options.

 

[KicksDS]

Thanks, I did it and it worked :]

Yay Danny Phantom x]

 

[Kaidaan]

Hmm.. quick question guys.

I have an Acekard 2i (not a clone) that worked. My DSi got borked so I sent it for repairs, and they updated my DSi's firmware. So now my Acekard isn't working. I tried putting it on my buddy's DSlite but my flashcart didn't boot. I'm using the AKAIO firmware for my acekard.

Anyone know why that happened? Thanks.

 

[Superfleurs]

I was one of those dummies that updated my DSi firmware before finding out that was , well...dumb.

Anyway, fortunately I found the Danny fix here, downloaded that, and have been happily using it for the last 2 months.

Just today, I have an odd problem with the Acekard2i. Everything looks normal when I turn on the DS, I click on Acekard, and it immediately loads the last game that I played. It will NOT go to menu. I then (on the computer) removed the last game from the SD cart to see what would happen. It went to the menu, like normal, I started a different game, then turned off the DS. When I turned it on again, the same thing happened, it immediately loaded the last game without going to menu. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

[emigre]

auto run is on. All you have to do is press b (or a, I forgot which one of the two it is) the next time you load your AK and that will prevent auto load. Then you go in the options and disable autorun. systemo options>Default Patch Options> Autorun
