If you have your hands on a DSi right now, you are either in Japan, or a really lucky person anywhere else in the world. If you’re thinking about eventually buying a DSi when they become available in other parts of the world, you can rest assured that you will have some choice in the Flashcart you wish to get for the DSi. Case in point: The release of the Acekard 2i!

We ran an article a little while back about the Acekard 2i’s suspected feature list, as well as a statement from the Acekard team (article here). Now with the announcement of the release of the cart from the Acekard team, we can bring you the real feature list, which is not too far off from the one we posted in our previous article:

    Meh, it works for what it’s intended. As for the features, changing the backlight intesity, soft reset to acekard don’t work. I know I can just press the button to soft reset, but I develop my own crap ware for the ds and it’s annoying having to go back to the ds menu and load acekard. At boot the card still shows slot-2 device as a possibility, even though the dsi doesn’t have one. On the brighter side, the card fits snug into the slot, it works well with a 8gb Class 6, mp3s etc. I recommend download akaio, normmatt/smith released beta 1.3 safe enough to prevent silly users from bricking their cards. I’m going to see if I can get anything running on the SD slot, that is basically the only reason I got dsi. Just a warning the dsi firmware is now update-able, so it’s possible that Nintendo will patch this up. Well that’s that hopefully someone finds this enlightening somehow :p
