1. Important: if you want to update you AceKard 2i on your DSi console, please make sure that your DSi console is having a firmware version lower than 1.4. If your DSi has been updated to version 1.4E, you will need to use a DS Lite or DSi 1.3 or lower console to update your Acekard 2i. Please take note, the firmware is different from the main driver as advised above.

Again please ensure you have the main acekard 2i extracted firmware first on your acekard 2i.
