For me this upgrade works with DSL only. DSi version just freezes XL and 3DS with no affect to exploit.
Please report your observations.
Try to run the update within a folder, that solved my problem with it, meaning don't have the file in the root of the SD card :)

I guess I'll be playing Chronicles of Narnia more now :P

Works for me, DSL updated, previously had 3DS with Mario 3D Land update and Wifi Video recording update, but works on 3DS too. HWID 81

Norm never stops suprising me with his programming speeds
Normmatt is in the AceKard team?
Nope:


Eh, still kinda new to the workings of the Acekard, so forgive my ignorance. But will this update allow me to use my card (with AKAIO, of course) after doing the mandatory update associated with Super Mario 3D Land. I'd really like to play the game, but I'm holding off until I know something for sure. Or is that type of fix strictly something that has to come from the Acekard team?

Thanks

Think of it like this:

AKAIO = Windows/OSX/Linux running on a computer. Update Windows/OSX/Linux and you can play more games
Nintendo DSi/3DS Updates = The basic thing that allows Windows/OSX/Linux to boot up

When Nintendo updates the basic thing that allows AKAIO to run, The Acekard team has to fix it at the basic level
When a DS game comes out that doesn't run, AKAIO team has to fix it at the software level

In other words, AceKard makes AKAIO loadable on the DSi/3DS and AKAIO makes games load.

Wouldn't it have been easier and faster to just say Acekard updates the bootstrap while AKAIO updates the software?

I know...... I know...... It's probably been answered 100 times before but I just can't find it anywhere.... I have purchased two new 3DS's for Christmas which are both on v1 firmware. I have 2 Acekard 2i's and just want to double check the process.
1 - Download the ak2ifw_update_3ds3.0_DSi143 file from the Acekard site and put onto the root of the sd card.
2 - Run the update on the 3DS
3 - Go into the settings on the 3DS and now update the 3DS firmware from v1 to v3

Is this the correct procedure........

Thanks so much for any help - just want to be sure I don't brick them....
