I did it like this:

-download the fix
-used the dsi version on a ds lite (so a ds phat works too)
-after it was ready, put it back in the DSi and it works.
-?????
-profit!

I have a question.. is there any other possibility to update your acekard other than using a ds phat/ds lite?

Because I have a 1.4EU DSi which I can't run the update from and I also don't have a ds lite/phat to update my acekard.

Interesting. I am waiting for Supercard's update as well (despite not having a DSi lol ).

I used rom dumper to dump the rom of the Supercard so currently the Supcard's internal name (and icon) is "Fish Tycoon". But I find it odd that it doesn't show up like that in the menu. I guess the 1.4 update made the naming system more strict for game carts so they had to use the name that was used in the internal rom. Though I can't see how it is they got the first version to work on the pre 1.4 DSi in the first place.

I'm gussing pre DSi flashkarts (aka all the karts that got blocked by the original DSi were a little lax in making them appear as retail karts due to the DSLite not giving a dam beyond that of perhaps the boot code encyption....

If all they did was change the game ID and icon, then this is a big EPIC FAIL for Nintendo.......Makes me wonder that had they made the internal rom updatable on pre DSi carts, that perhaps they would have made them work as well....

Anyone with any decent hex editing knowladge should open up the original Supercard Firmware file, and find it's game ID and icon and replace it to match that of it's internal name or replace both it's menu name and internal name to something else and see if that is enough to fool the DSi. Big cookie goes to whoever does this before the official Supercard team does.!

Can I use it to update my Acekard2i or I must use a DSlite/phat??

Yes I think should first download the files, then load it in your Acekard menu, and then update the DSi. (I haven't done jet)

Does this update work on AK2i Clones?
Anyone tested this?

Ok, to answer my own question: i'll took a R4i clone and tested it

R4 Clone: R4i from www.r4ipro.com

CHIP ID: 0fc2 / HW: 4444
Update went fine and gone to 100%

After the update it still worked on the DSLite and a 1.3e DSi but not on the 1.4e DSi

- The icon still shows the original R4DSi icon and the txt: R4DSi
- After entering you get the "An error occurred? ..."

So, no it didn't work on this AK2i clone.

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
