Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

[SDANG]

So if I have access to a DS firmware 1.3 below, my card will work again?

http://www.r4dsrevolution.co.uk/new-dsi-14...firmware-update not sure if there's an update for my card.

 

[Rydian]

There is none, the page says the company just released a 1.4.1 card like I said and you'll have to buy that, they don't let you update it.

That cart you have will not work on that DS again... and I don't recommend buying the new one because you'll be stuck AGAIN if Nintendo updates the firmware again.

Like I said an Acekard 2i can be updated if you can borrow somebody's DS/Lite for a minute, and is only ~$16 USD.

 

[SDANG]

hmm.. that sucks! Why do they keep releasing r4 cards then?! If it's going to be the same?!?!
With the Acekard 2i, what happens if I accidently did the system update on there then?

Because funny people buy them and give them a lot of $$$.

Concerning the Acekard: You need to flash it before you update your DSi.

Nintendo even explains that an update is going to block "third party deveiced", nobody forces you to update.

You have to confirm that 2-3 times.

 

[SDANG]

Okay, so basically just don't do system update full stop right?
That seems to be the best solution!

Because people are stupid enough to buy them.

Okay made the mistake knowing nothing about Nintendo blocking the cards.

Is there anything I can do with this card

I have updated the software. It doesn't say 1.4.1 on it so I presume I have no chance.

But just in case thought I would ask the question....

Cheers all

edit....

If its not going to work whats everyones opinion on the best cart to get?

 

[Rydian]

When modding or pirating on systems you NEVER UPDATE without checking online first.
This goes for... everything.

Your cart does not appear to have an updateable bootloader (they just named the firmware version 1.4.1 to get more people to buy it thinking it'll bypass the DSi/XL 1.4.1 firmware update).

You will need to buy a new one, and like before I don't recommend an R4 clone. What's your budget, and do you care about extra features such as GBA emulation, save states, and slow motion?

 

[Atrocitas]

Thanks for the reply.

I learn by my mistakes at least... (hopefully!!)

I don't need any extra features really. Price is a bit of an issue as I need to get 3. Wouldn't be happy with more than say £30 each.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Acekard 2i then if you just want to be playing games and don't care about features.

Acekard 2i then if you just want to be playing games and don't care about features.

ShadowSoldier, please write "Acekard, because Akaio is the best" the next time, or I'll ask team "FuckingUseless" to keep an eye on you...

 

[EvangelionEX]

Acekard 2i then if you just want to be playing games and don't care about features.

Supercard DSTWO then if you just want to be playing and care about features.

 

[Atrocitas]

Thanks for the advice.

Merry Christmas all

Supercard DSTWO then if you just want to be playing and care about features.


Which he said he didn't.. unless I read it wrong, but yes the DSTWO is the best card because of it's features. But if it's to just play DS games, the Acekard 2i will suffice and is cheaper.

a) What the fuck are you on about?
b) Let them keep an eye on me, I don't care.

The iPlayer is NOT blocked but the Acekard 2i is. Unfortunately for my daughter she updated hers when she went to the shop. iPlayer still works fine.

 

[Red_Gh0st]

You can update the ak2i if you have a dsi 1.3 or 1.4 or a DS Lite or original DS

 

[Atrocitas]

Got The Acekard 2 and it works great on 1.4.1

Also lots of games that wouldn't work on the R4 now work as well so lots of bonuses.

Thanks all

DS2 and 2i unblocked. IF you have a version from BEFORE the update, update the firmware and OS.
