Acekard team has beaten CycoDS and is the first one to release a working Nintendo DSi Flash Card for playing NDS roms, homebrew games and DSi apps on an unmodified DSi console. The new Acekard 2i is similar to the regular AK 2 and can be used on all DS consoles including NDS classic and DSi.

Acekard 2i DSi

Perfect NDS rom compatibility

Acekard 2i inherit the best quality of acekard’s products. You can just drag and drop software on MicroSD card to run.
*On first boot it takes some time to create save file. The loader time after save file is created is very fast.
Support Homebrew programs/games

The Acekard 2i is compatible with all homebrew because of the DLDI auto-patcher. You can just copy the homebrews to the MicroSD card and run it. You can use Moonshell, one of the most well known homebrew software on DS, for multi media. Watching movie, listening MP3, reading TXT novel on DS is so easy! Please [download moonshell for AK 2 here].

*Some homebrews need to be put at the root of MicroSD card for best compatibility.
Support SDHC MicroSD card

Acekard 2i support SDHC and offer unlimited space for you. You can copy all you favorite software, songs and movie to one MicroSD card.
Support any brand of MicroSD card

Acekard 2i can be used with any brand of MicroSD card.  Do not need to worry about the speed of MicroSD / micro SDHC card.

I use the custom firmware for this card. At first I had trouble uploading the files, and my card kept freezing.

You need the AceKard 2i DSi + an microSD card + some way to copy NDS game roms to the micro SD cards. If you already have a microSD card and a card reader / writer adapter for it, there is no need to buy another one.

Hey if i buy a Dsi from japan and get an AceKard 2i or a DsTTi card, can i change the menu language to english? or can i only play the games in english? i know the AceKard 2i menu can be in english but what about the Dsi’s menu? Can that be changed to english with the flashcard? And will the Opera browser for internet surfing be in english?

Hi Jon,

On NDS and DS Lite You could change the menu language, but NOT on DSi :( , so with a Japanese DSi You would be stuck wit the JAP menu and also the DSi SHOP will connect to the JAP server to buy DSiWARE.

Opera Web Browser would be in Japanese, but would support English.

Maybe later on Hackers figure out how to reflash DSi firmware with a customized one, but currently such an option does not exist. Better get a USA or European DSi.

if i by this card wuld i be able 2 get adobe flash player + can i go on uTube + can i go on aim

A > No – Nintendo NDS / DSi does not have enough processing power to run Adobe Flash :(

  nille wrote @ June 8, 2009 at 9:00 pm

how much is it and wher can i find it

A > Take a look at this store for details.

  nille wrote @ June 8, 2009 at 9:02 pm

is it only in JAP

A > No – DSi Flash Cards work on all USA, Japanese, European and UK consoles

  nille wrote @ June 8, 2009 at 9:04 pm

how do you know it really works

A > Because we are playing our roms with these cards ;)

Q: u never said if it could go on aim
A: Yes – with a DSi Flash Card you can chat on AIM and ICQ using DSAIM software – http://www.ds-xtra.com/DSAIM

Q: so can it and is there anything i can get besides this to go on it
A: You have to have one of the DSi compatible flash cards – which one is up to you. No way to get FREE roms an and software on DSi without a DSi flash card adapter :(

Q: can i get processing power on this
A: not exactly sure what you mean by that. R4i or AK2i adds MEMORY – not processing power. It is not a CPU upgrade.

Q: what are roms and when you say cards do you actually meen cards
A: ROMs in general are DS Games or Programs. DSi roms can be backups of Nintendo games sold in stores or games and software made bby 3rd party programmers. With DS Flash Cards you can also play Games / Roms from other consoles like NES, Gameby, GBC, Sega, ZX Spectrum, Atari, SNES etc.
And when I say CARD I mean DS / DSi Flash Cartridge (with internal flash memory) OR DSi Flash Card Adapter (in the form of a DS Game Cartridge) that requires you to insert a microSD card inot the DS cartridge for it ot work. http://www.gameboy-advance.net/ds-lite/flash-cards.htm

Q: if i get this where do i put it in the dsi
A: You would put it in the DSi Game Card slot where you put DSi games. On NDS / DS Lite it is called SLOT-1. The flash card / memory adapter is the exact same shape and size as a DS GAME CARD so usualy it is not too hard to figure out where to put it :)

Q: I was wondering, since DSi don’t have slot 2 anymore, did they also remove GBA game compatibility or will roms still load using Acekard 2i?

A: YES – backward compatibility with Gameboy Advance has been removed and the processors inside DSi a little different (no more half MHz mode for GBA)
Rumor has it that Nintendo will release the TOP GBA games for DSi as DSiWare, but only time will tell if we will be able to play them from a flash card. They will most likely run in a software / emulation mode…

Hi, I’m trying to update the firmware of my aceKard2i. The instructions say that I should delete the save file first. What is the save file?

A: Save Files are .SAV files on your micro SD card. Before updating the firmware you should copy / backup them to PC just in case.

  Cheinei wrote @ September 4, 2009 at 3:10 pm

How many games can you put on one flash card?

A: Depends on the size of the microSD you have in the R4 adapter. I have something like 40 NDS roms on my 2GB card.

Voor ik me Dsi bestel zou ik dit graag willen weten!
