    Hi, I just purchased the DSI XL and have been trying to get my acekart2i to work on it to no avail. I tried the akaio_v1.6RC2 and the 1.4 version but all I get is a black screen that says an error has occurred and to shut the DSI off. Is there a special way to load the program? I extract the program to the mini sd is that wrong? Can someone help me please.
    Thanks

    If your Dsi has firmware of 1.4 then the acekard is has been blocked with this firmware and will give an error, but your acekard will work on all other DS systems still.

    To fix this you need to update the actual acekards firmware (different to AkaioRC2)so you must find someone with a DS/DSlite or DSi with firmware 1.3 to run the update file.

    There are 2 files in the download each file is for whatever DS system you will run the update from, (One for DS/Lite andf one for A dsi 1.3 or lower) so whatever DS you manage to get hold of use the corresponding update file.

    Copy that file to the SD cards root directory (you already have done the akaio bit)... load the card on the borrowed DS and run the that update file

    This file is not on acekards website as it has some copyrightable infomation within it, (which actually fools the DSi into thinking its a guinine game, "Danny Phantom")

    There are more detailed guides online just search for "DSI 1.4 firmware fix for acekard" or "Danny Phantom Acekard fix" if this isnt detailed enough for you.

    Sorry No, you will need to do the update from another DS. If your DSi is already on firmware 1.4 there is no way to load up the acekard and perform the update.
