R4 REVOLUTION FOR DS YSMENU UPDATE
That maybe explains why the FW update file is 4MB too. Considering the Minimum DS Game ROM size was 4MB Apparently the Fake ROM trick consists on add 4MB FLASH to PCB to simulate it being a Retail game, then fullfill card FLASH with first GAME ROM 16K hiding Card Firmware maybe as a Payload on it. Our cards are apparently 2nd gen Flashcards, being our FW's based upon totally different games which explains the big diff, yours is based upon The Spiderwick Chronicles game (YS8E) while mine by other hand is based on Japanese Itadaki Street game (AEEJ). Be advised that the AK2i HWID 81 Flash Kit can not operate on a 3DS running any firmware revision after 4.3.0-10." As a result of the 3DS update almost all Flash Kits have been permanently blocked. These kits were unable to release an update, and so far it appears that the AK2i is among them. Many kits have a proper save IC but this information is burned into an area of the chip which is not rewritable by the end-consumer. The 3DS firmware v4.4.0-10 added a new feature which blocked Flash Kits based on their save IC. Currently there is no AK2i HWID 44 DSi v1.4.3+ firmware solution nor is there a solution for the 3DS v2.1+ firmware updates. The HWID 44 PCB uses an older design with less bootloader space, which can not be as easily updated. For the most part, this older method has worked, that was until users began to notice the differences between the AK2i HWID 44 and 81 Flash Kits. Acekard’s older exploit method has forced users to wait for fully functional ROM data updates, which are pulled from a limited pool of known exploitable files. More modern “generation 3” Flash Kit designs (SCDS2, iEVO, iSmart MM) require only an actual ROM icon to bypass the first check and spoof the secondary check with an updatable data file. The flashable bootloader of the 2i is not unlike “generation 3” Flash Kits, but requires actual ROM data to circumvent the DSi icon check and secondary data response check. "Team Acekard uses an older “generation 2” Flash Kit design, which is currently not the most ideal hardware for DSi/3DS bootloader exploits. They did that apparently bundling a fake/Dummy ROM (The Icon and Game Text) to surpass whitelists, while maybe hiding internal FW in Fake ROM RAW data.Ĭheck this info i extracted from AK2i WikiTemp site, this explains about Flashcard design Generations, how they worked along why much cards like 1st gen Ace3DS and maybe yours, along many others died after 3DS 4.4 FW/DSi 1.4.5.: Since DSi 1.4+/3DS update when Flashcards started to identify themselves as legit games to surpass Nintendo Blacklist. Yours is (SPIDERWICK/YS8E) mine (ITADAKI ST./AEEJ)

Starts with Title Name, then 4 char Title ID. If you check further the FW dump itself from beginning looks like a NDS Game dump rather flashcard firmware. I instead did a quick and silly RAW comparison with a tool rather to try finding patterns myself so i took conclusions quickly xD.įollowing your notes i noticed all you said :D also have noticed another interesting things too. Hope all this info helps, thanks i don't noticed all the things you did, because i'm really a newbie about Hex comparisons. There are some pics of the PCB, sorry for the low quality i don't have any better camera here xP: NTRBoot Flasher gives me the following data (my card has 4.3.0-10 FW): The update package has 2 files, the nds updater and a 4MB sized "update.dat" file which i suppouse is the Firmware itself. The latest firmware it has supports 4.3.0-10 but all the links on net are dead, the most updated firmware i was able to found was 4.0.0-7 support update from Filetrip: The Team stopped upgrading the card after 3DS FW 4.3.0-10, afterwards deleted any reference of it on their site in favor of "Plus" model. Works well with Retrogamefan TTDS YSMenu kernel. The Flashcard itself is another TTDS based card with upgradeable firmware. Did Ace3DS (1st-gen/Non-Plus) Flashcard would be supported?
