How to set up the Acekard 2i in 7 easy steps: (You must have winrar or winzip installed on your computer to complete this process. You can download winrar for free in you do not have it.) STEP 1: Buy the Acekard 2i and a microsd memory card from any website, I would recommend either www.dealextreme.com (cheap but slow delivery) or www.all4consoles.co.uk (more to pay but UK website and fast delivery) STEP 2: Download the latest software for the Acekard 2i, the lastest version right now is v4.16 which can be downloaded from here: www.acekard.com Once downloaded, extract the files somewhere you can easily find them. You should have 3 files extracted-you do not need the ‘release note’ file so just ignore it, we need the ‘_ak2′ folder and the ‘akmenu4.nds’ file. STEP 3: Insert your microsd card into a USB reader and place into a USB port on your PC/laptop. Format the microsd card to FAT32, choose ‘Quick Format’ and then Start. Once format is complete, open the root folder of the microsd card, which is the first folder which opens when you double click the ‘Removable disk’ icon. STEP 4: Copy and paste the ‘_ak2′ folder and the ‘akmenu4.nds’ file extarcted earlier to the root folder of the microsd card. STEP 5: Create a folder to put you games/ROMS into. Right click your mouse in the root folder of your microsd card and choose ‘New’ and then ‘Folder’. Call the folder ‘Games’. STEP 6: Download some Nintendo DS games/ROMS from a website. Google ‘nds roms’ and choose the first result which leads to a very good site to use. Search for a game/ROM you want and download it, extract the file using winrar/winzip again and copy and paste the game/ROM into the folder ‘Games’ you just created. STEP 7: Safely remove the microsd from your computer/laptop and place into the Acekard 2i until it clicks and fits perfectly into the slot. Put the Acekard 2i into your Nintendo dsi and select it from the menu. Once loaded, choose ‘SD slot’ then choose the folder ‘Games’. Choose which game/ROM you want to play and it should load without any problems.

    oh ok that really sucks i heard that it got flash player on december 1

  7. soulreapr1 says:

    the DS can’t download anything, nor does it have the memory or the speed to perform anything like that.

    the internet browser really sucks, and there is little use for it.

  8. pokemon20x says:

    ok i’m wondering if since the nintendo dsi has the web browser can you go on googl and find a download link for a rom can you download it straight from the dsi

  21. DarkGuitar961 says:

    please help, i used my sd card reader ( Targus brand card reader), and i used my micro sd card adapter to use it on my mac 10.4, i pulled it out without ejecting because it was taking forever to load. Now whenever i try to use it, the icon doesn’t show up on my desktop. p.s. it only shows up when i lock the adapter, but then when i try to drop files in it, it says it can’t be modified.
