Hey everyone, I was wondering how I could submit tutorials to this site.My tutorial is one the subject of setting up and AK2i. I know there is already a tutorial on this subject but that one has alot of unnecessary confusing stuff like the adding of moon shell that is not required in setting up your AK2i.Here is my tutorial in case you wanted to see if I was missing any info:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey everyone, this is a guide to setup your AK2i. This is my first tutorial so let me know if I have any false information!First you will need to decide what firmware you will be using. There are two firmwares to choose from. The official firmware and the unofficial firmware which is supposedly better then the official firmware. I recommend that you download both and see which one works for you. Both of them can be downloaded here:http://www.acekard.com/download.phpOnce you have downloaded your firmware of choice you will need to format your MicroSD card. Before you do that you will have to backup you MicroSD to make sure nothing important is lost when you format you MircoSD. Formatting can be done to ways. The easier and less effective way of the harder and fully effective way. The easier way is done like this:
-Go to "My Computer"
-Right-Click on the icon that is your MicroSD and click"Format"The harder and more reliable way can be completed like this:
-Download the "Panasonic Card Formatter" here:http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
-Run the program and format your MircoSD inside the program.Once your MicroSD is formatted go to the .ZIP folder you downloaded before. Extract or unzip the folder to a new folder elsewhere on you PC. Once you have done that you will need to go to the folder where you extracted the files to. Now there should be a file named ak_menu.nds or something like that and a folder named _aio*. Once you have found them minimize that window. In a new window open your MircoSD, and put the _aio* folder and the ak_menu.nds file in the root ,or base, of you MicroSD card.Your AK2i is now ready to run! I suggest you make separate folders to organize your movies, music and games. Enjoy!IF YOU HAVE A DSi RUNNING 1.4 FIRMWARE KEEP READING!!!Nintendo's latest DSi firmware, 1.4 , is anti-flashcart. To fix this problem on you AK2i you will need the following things:
-A DS or a DSi that is running a firmware lower than 1.4
-This update file:AK21 UpdateOnce you download extract the files to a folder elsewhere on your computer. Once you extracted the file you should see two files. One that has "DSi" in it and the other says "DSL". If you are using a DSL to update you AK2i then put the "DSL.nds" in your games foder on your MicroSD. Once you have done that put the AK2i in you DSL and play the ".NDS" file like you would any other game. If you are using a DSi to update you AK2i the do the same thing but do it with the "DSi.nds" file.Once you have run the update the AK2i should run on you DSi. PM me with any questions.*If you have any games from your old MircoSD before you formatted it now is the time you put the important files back on.
