    Click on settings from the DSi main menu, and it will say in the bottom right corner.

    Anything below but NOT including 1.4 will work with an Acekard without applying the update. However, if it says 1.4 you will need to find an Acekard that's already been patched, or a DS Lite to patch it.

    i presume you mean tha bottom right corner of the top screen? my top screen is just blank with a few white horizontal lines goin through it, (but i thought that was normal as im totally illiterate when it comes to stuff like this),d wife has since told me that my little fella smacked the dsi off the ground when i was out so its obviously broke from that impact.

    Do u know if this can be fixed? thanks for d reply!

    Oh yeah, sorry the top screen.

    As far as fixing the screen goes, if it's like the DS Lite, it's not terribly difficult if you know what you're doing. It's not something you want to try unless you're sure you do, because you could end up breaking something else. ;)

    There are plenty of tutorials and places to buy replacement screens online, or if you don't want to fix it yourself, there are plenty of places that will fix it relatively cheap.
