How to Update Your Acekard 2i for DSi 1.4.4 and 3DS 4.3

If you have an Acekard 2i flashcart and want to use it on your DSi or 3DS with the latest firmware updates, you will need to update the bootloader of your Acekard using a compatible DS or DS Lite. This guide will show you how to do that using the file Ak2ifw Update 3ds43 Dsi144 Zip, which is the latest update available for the Acekard 2i.

Before you begin, make sure you have a DS or DS Lite that can run your Acekard 2i, a microSD card formatted to FAT32, and a card reader. You will also need to download the file Ak2ifw Update 3ds43 Dsi144 Zip from a reliable source, such as this page [^1^]. Extract the zip file and copy the file ak2ifw_update_3ds43_dsi144_onDSL.nds to the root of your microSD card.

Insert your microSD card into your Acekard 2i and insert it into your DS or DS Lite. Turn on your console and launch the file ak2ifw_update_3ds43_dsi144_onDSL.nds. You will see a screen that says \"Press A/B to update AK2i\". Press A if you have an AK2i HWID 44 or B if you have an AK2i HWID 81. You can check your HWID by looking at the sticker on your Acekard 2i. If you are not sure, press A first and if it fails, try B.

The update process will take a few seconds and you will see a message that says \"Update complete\". Turn off your console and remove your Acekard 2i. Now you can use it on your DSi or 3DS with firmware versions up to 1.4.4 and 4.3 respectively. Note that this update does not work for firmware versions higher than those, as Nintendo has blocked most flashcarts with later updates [^2^] [^3^]. If you want to use a flashcart on newer firmware versions, you will need to get a different one, such as the DSTWO or the R4i Gold 3DS .

Congratulations, you have successfully updated your Acekard 2i for DSi 1.4.4 and 3DS 4.3!
