Acekard 2i

Hi again! XD

So what can I tell you about Acekard 2i?
For you who might already be familiar with flash cards this might not be that frilling to read. XDD

Acekard is one of many different cards you can buy from 3rd part sellers of nintendo ds accessories.
This particular one is very easy to use. And that's mostly why I choose it.
The idea of flash cards in general is to play home made games or backups, for example downloading nds rom files and putting on the card. This card reads MicroSD cards so you can easily can get everything from your computer and on to the card.
You'll have to dowload the newest firmware from the manufacters webbsite, and put on the card before putting roms on it and etc. One cool thing I relly liked was that you could change the skin of the acekard skin inside the ds ;DDD
You can also use something called "Moonshell" on the card. Wich makes your DS into a mp3 and video player. Wich I relly think is the coolest. Sure DSI can already play music and has a SD slot reader on the left of it but it so stupid that it only plays AAC file type, the same type as Ipod's plat actually but it makes things extra hard to get to. Cause senserily you will not take the time to make your mp3 files to AAC files... Maybe it's just me but I hate that sort of things.
The bad thing about "Moonshell" right now is like I said about mp3 in ndsi orginal program the same you'll have to render your movie type files such as .AVI and .MKV into this really weird file system called "DPG". Here's a good guide how to, but i failed to do it, but I think I'm gonna make some more tries another day.

I strongly suggest everyone to buy this type of cards instead of buying each game one at a time in stores, and as with the music indusry or games in generall if you relly want to suport the ones making a particular game go buy it, but theres lots and lots of games for ds and why not try them for free first if you have the chance?

I bought my card from Dealextreme wich has the lowest price online and ships for free. The only bad thing was it took almost 3 weeks from that I orderd it and payed for it til' it came....

Right now I think the Acekard 2i is the only card that work properly on the dsi, but if you have an older vesion lika ds lite or ds phat, theres a big sea of different cards out there!

Great guide for installing moonshell on the acekard http://ds.gayadesign.nl/?p=19
(When setting up the moonshell acekard is not included in the list but i choiced supercard microsd alternative and it worked just fine!)
And guide for converting movies to be playble on the moonshell http://ds.gayadesign.nl/?p=23

I got the Acekard up and working right away, the problem now is mostly wich game I'm gonna play? :P From only having 2 games to... All the games I can get hold of is a big big big responsibility hehe...
Only had problems with one game so far and that was "2230 - The World Ends With You (E)(XMS).nds" So im going to try out the US version instead....

.... Have any questions I will be happy to answer some :)

That's it for today, might remake or update this post tough. I'm never happy with things I write...
Cheers!
