Acekard 2i language fix released

[klopfdreh]

I also have HWID 44 and I think it will take some time until it will be released for that hwid, but thats only my opinion.

@ jonjon95 The file is a nds file and it updates the hardware, so you don't have to switch to the original firmware I think.

That's what I thought. Just didn't wanna send out the wrong idea to other people.

I apply the update today using AKAIO firmware and everything works ok.

I'm not very familiar with the whole thing. I just got my card today. But I have AKAIO on my card and I can start it perfectly. Lauching homebrew with it works fine, too. Launching commercial games with it however doesn't work for me. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if it's because of the firmware. As I said: I just got my card today and am not familiar with AKAIO.

@RPG Hacker: try to download the last loader for acekard2i - only search for loaders in the acekard forum. Thats the most common reason why some games doesn't work. I'm happy to use homebrew because thats the only reason for me, why I bought the card. I love to sit on the couch and talking to others within the quakenet via irc!

shaun: thanks for posting the news!

@jonjon95: this update overwrites the actual game they are using, which is stored on the cart, and allows the kit to boot on the dsi. this is the known way to exploit the dsi into running a flash kit, and currently the only publicly released method. by updating you are doing nothing to the kit in regards to the firmware. you are only changing the bootloader area. this means that you can run any firmware you choose, be it akaio, the official or jonjon95OS.

i was told by team acekard that the update WILL brick your kit if your ds loses power. the update only takes .5-3 seconds (depending), so as long as you are in the green you should not have anything to worry about. there is a tool being worked on for the hwid 44 kits, which are the new/recent "dsi sticker" release of the ak2i. it should also be released as an nds file, so keep your update eyes glued to the acekard homepage.

Ah ! at last i have an answer to my question. Thanks Another World to have clarified this point.
So here, we have a bootloader update.

oddly, yes, it appears so. you would think it would have been 82 =P

44 id here too bought in march wonder whats the difference and if still has the bug(dont plan to buy a DSi soon)

 

[chocolatbomb]

I just tried the update, and it works

. It was really fast, and I was afraid to turn off my DS when it said "reboot DS" because I was afraid it wasnt really done o.o

Strangely enough, my acekard's HWID is 81 even though it's part of the "new batch" (no bump).

Same over here

it could be that the retailer had more boxes than cards, due to sending broken kits back. acekard usually replaces just the card, its much cheaper to ship. it could be that acekard put in the older card into the new box. when the ak 2.1 was released in the box people were still receiving the old *fixed* ak2. my point is that one would expect the new box to house the new kit, but you can't expect anything like that from acekard =P.

Any harm in updating the firmware if it's only going to be used for now on a DS Lite?

 

[nitrozz]

mine is hw:81

dsi last update from nintendo and ak2i updated

tested with : Gta Chinatown War

ok

 

[g.crow]

still no fix for hw 44.
seems the acekard team is unable to handle their own hardware.

wouldnt care about that poor supported card anyway if it wasnt for akaio.

 

[saulopp]

i have a strange issue with a brand new ak2i hw81 applied the patch to.

the card plays homebrew very well but stalls when booting any commerical rom.

could it be that card was strangely broken just before or a problem with the patch?

update: workign now, required me a reinstall with the "repack proper" akaio

 

[g.crow]

2 weeks later, still no fix for hw 44.
i guess thats it. im p1ssed.

 

[nuke888]

I have now 2 Acekard DSi one HW 81 the other HW 44.I did updated the 81 one (m still on a dslite)
But since I have to sell one I do wonder whats the best to keep for me...
Are there some differences that may matter ? I want to keep for me the very best,even if I should eventually to wait a little more for the HW44 update (m not planning to buy a Dsi soon)
Some guru out there has the answers ?
