    what do you mean by formatting your sd card? I've just watched tutorials on how to setup the acekard 2i and that wasn't included. Do we all have to do that?

    it is recommended, but not needed. format leaves the card as if it were new since it erases all files in the card. that is why i also say backup before doing this. and akaio works better if this is done

    Is this a server related issue or is this my DS: when I try to update the wifi plugin to backup my saves online it give me an error message saying that there was a wifi connect problem. When I try playing games online though it connects just fine. Using a DSL with 1.8.7 if that helps.

    How do we format the SD card?
    And how do we backup without using a wifi. I can't connect to the internet wireless, only by wire.

    formatting the card is easy. just connect it to the pc. go to computer, where your sd card shows up. right click it and choose format. now, the wifi backup is just a new feature that acekard added. its just if you want to, you can keep saves online, that way if one erases or something and dont have your computer but have wifi, you just redownlaod your save. but to backup you can do it on your pc. simply copy the files of your card to somewhere on your pc

    Well note to self, never update my DSi. Just did it thinking this was the acekard update. Obviously it was not. Now I need to find another DS Lite to reflash the cart when the new firmware rolls out.
    Go me.

    really? oh, im sorry. acekard mentioned the update for dsi firmware 1.4.2 should come out on june, once the new 3ds update comes out. so just keep looking here or on acekard.com for the update. and yeah, you will need a ds lite

    Re: Acekard 2(i) Setup AKAIO 1.8.9 and Other Issues Guide

    I just updated my Acekard to 1.8.7 and I seem to have run into a problem. When ever I try to play a game it just sits on the screen that says "processing...do not power off" Everything works with going to the options and such, I just can't load up the games. I reformatted my SD card twice and I am still runing into the same issue. Is there anything that can be done to help fix this?? Thanks

  13. Re: Acekard 2(i) Setup AKAIO 1.8.9 and Other Issues Guide

    HI, hope someone can help me, i have just upgaraded to a dsi xl and got myself an ackard 2i. I am having major problems getting it to work though !! I have updated the firmware to 1.4.2 and also updated the dsi to match and am running akaio 1.8.7 everything seems to be done properly. the problem i am getting is that only about 5 of my 90 roms will run, all the others have no icon next to the filename and when i run them i just get blank white screens. I have tried re-formatting using proffessional format tools and then re doing everything , and have tried updating the loaders but it seems i already have the latest installed????? nothing seems to be working for me , the card was bought from a very reputable site so am sure its not a clone, everything else seems fine with the akaio program, just wont play most of my games argh !!!!! help would be massively appreciated , thanks :'( :'(

    on the root of your sd card. make sure you only have _aio folder akmenu4.nds and a games folder. in the games folder goes the games and sav files. also make sure the games are in nds format. and that you really are using akaio 1.8.7
