    tnx.. old device new life

  2. jonas says:

    it’ll only support 3ds up to version 4.3.
    if you’re over that, you might want to consider buying another card

    • jonas says:

      why even post this in the first place
      a quick google search will take you to more detailed guides

    The 3ds flash card scene is weird. One card advertised that it could hold 10 specific games, but to play more, you’d need to buy another flash card for every 10 more games. Such shady behaviour if true…

    • jonas says:

      the flashcard can only cycle between 10 games
      to add more games you just have to delete some or get another microSD
      you don’t need another flashcard

      • Strider says:

        no true, this is from the faq on the sku3ds site

        Q: What’s that mean – “ten 3DS games maximum for each flashcard”?

        A: You can choose to copy any 10 games into your microSD card at the first time, you do need more SKY3DS cards if you want to play more 3DS games anyway.

      You don’t need to buy another flashcard. It can only hold up to 10 games. You can easily replace the roms. But you may need more Micro SD cards tho

      • yunneg says:

        If you two are talking about sky3ds cart (like Rolenzorol) then you are wrong!
        The manufacturer had confirmed many times by many ways that you do need more flash cart not microSD, no mis-understanding, no mis-understood!

        • yunneg says:

          Sorry, I meant that what they said on their website is not mis-understanding or mis-translating !

          • Chihuahua says:

            He’s correct, you load 10 games in and that’s it, set in stone and cannot be changed. You will be stuck with those 10 games. I’d wait off for someone to Clone it without the restrictions 🙂

    Just get a Supercard DSTwo Flash Card. I can confirm it works on the latest 3DS firmware on both 2DS and 3DS devices.

    Hey wololo, I thought you were against flash carts.

    • wololo says:

      I am, personally . The tutorial was not written by me, and I’m not the one who voted for it. The community decided 🙂

  6. NakedFaerie says:

    I have one of them and the last firmware I knew of doesn’t work on the newer firmwares of the 3DS so this is old and won’t work for 99% of people with a 3DS

  7. Rose says:

    As mentioned, this does not work on any 3DS with a firmware about 4.3. As everyone who has a low firmware 3DS is likely already aware of how to use flashcards on their system, this tutorial is actually not particularly useful.

  8. gunblade says:

    Cool miss playing games on my ds. Um i updated to play pokemon so idk what firmware it on but my action replay works. Miss the old flash carts though wish i had a wii u so i could use the controller as a ds.

  9. Baka says:

    This does not work on firmwares above 4.x? I tried it a few months ago and was forced to buy a R4i Gold instead.

  10. Thrawn says:

    WHY U GO and post link with old firmware? Firmware up in the article is from 2011 which dates back to 3DS firmware <3.0.

    The acekard 2i works up to 3DS firmware 4.3 and DSi 1.44:

    http://filetrip.net/f/30711-ak2i_3ds4-3-0-10_dsi144.7z
    (so theoretically you could use your acekard as loader card for the gateway if you stick to 4.1, 4.2, 4.3)

    And then? Well get a DStwo, most versatile and long living flash card.

  11. Anon says:

    That’s pretty pathetic tutorial to be called “winner” of anything for reasons stated above.
    Most notably for the fact that Nintendo blocked Acekard2i in FW 4.4+

  12. Austin says:

    Wow, perfect timing. I literally just found my old Acekard not a few days ago. Thanks, Wololo! ^^

  13. Josh says:

    So, anyone have a trustable flash cart seller???

  14. jacob says:

    Is there any update for the acekard 2i for the 3ds version 11.0.0-33E ?
