The Team Acekard has also released a solution to use the Acekard 2i on the new console from Nintendo, 3DS. Like the other tutorials, this only allows us to run homebrew, backups and other things in DS mode, so logically the 3D mode is not active.

The first and most important, if it makes the process of updating 2i Acekard wrong, this can cause the cartridge brickeo, so long as you do, is at your own risk.

This tutorial, for now only applies to a particular model of Acekard 2i, so do it on a different model, might not work. But let's start slowly for a few minutes to enjoy this great cartridge in our 3DS.

1) We need:

1. Nintendo DS (anything but the 3DS)
2. Operating System AKAIO.1.8.6a

2) Unzip the Akai system 1.8.6a with Winzip, Winrar, or our favorite decompressor, and we shall be as follows:

1. A folder __aio
2. Akmenu4.nds file

The first and most important, must be formatted in FAT32 microSD before placing the folder and file in the microSD.

3) Once installed, we put the microSD in the cartridge, and this in the console. When you turn and enter the menu choice will give us 2 or Slot MicroSD, MicroSD choose.

It is at this point that we know if (for now) we can apply the patch to work in 3DS. To find out when we are on the menu, press Start and we will see a dropdown on the right side of the screen.

Do the following: Start - More - Help

There we see the exact model we Acekard 2i. For this tutorial is compatible with your version must contain the following:

• Akai 1.8.6
• HW: 81
• SVN: 1074 (1073 or 900 are also compatible, and if HW: 81 can be tested without problem to see if it works).

4) If it is compatible download the following file:

• ak2ifw_update_3ds_v1_DSi

To decompress a file ak2ifw_update_3ds_v1_DSi.nds we will copy them to the microSD.

5) We put the microSD in the cartridge, and this again to the console, once we are on the menu and run the file ak2ifw_update_3ds_v1_DSi.nds tells us that press start to begin the update.

Once this process completes, and the cartridge will be updated and the icon will have changed by the Dorasu''game.'' If we get here, we already have 2i Acekard ready to run on Nintendo 3DS.

Note: If you do not allow flashing properly and have the version shown above, reformatting and repeat the process. At some point I had to do not work.

Another yDSi XL DSi flashcarts we can use the new Nintendo 3DS is the Supercard DSTWO. This cartridge is the best in the market to incorporate a new processor, which will allow multiple applications to run homebrew and Game Boy Advance without having to use any slot-2 cartridge, which is perfect for DSi, DSi XL and 3DS as no such slot.

The vast majority of DSTWO should work directly in 3DS, but if you do not work, we will explain step by step solution to enjoy it on your new console.

1. Nintendo DS (any model less 3DS)
2. TWO 1.11 DS OS
3. Firmware 1.9 DSTWO

2) Once downloaded the files, unzip and we have to be as follows:

With the launch of the Nintendo 3DS , and the lack of safety set by Nintendo as a flashcarts operation is concerned, most Nintendo DS cartridge is compatible with the new 3DS, but only for running games in DS mode.

It was unclear whether these same cartridges worth to run our backups 3DS, but until we know, we can express the benefits of the new Nintendo handheld with our M3i Zero.

In this tutorial we are going to explain that we need to do to run the Zero M3i Nintendo 3DS, and no error appears in''No SD Card.''

1) Download the following files:

1. Operating System M74 M3 DS Real 4.9F
2. 1.7.2 F_Core file
3. Zero M3i Firm SH1 V 1.42

2) Once downloaded, use Winzip, Winrar or decompressor that we have. We must be as follows:

1. System Folder
2. F_Core.dat file
3. M3GUpdaterPlus_142.nds file

As optional, we can create the NDS folder and put there our backups, allowing us to locate them in the first menu button M3i Zero.

3) Once downloaded, copy all this to the root of the microSD. When copying, we put the microSD in our M3i Zero, and connect the controller wire (black) and the PC. Sometimes start flashing from the beginning and other light will start flashing fixed within a few seconds. This is completely normal, depending on the shipment of the cartridge.

When the light stops flashing, is that the cartridge is already flashed.

4) We put the M3i Zero in a DS Lite or Nintendo DS and verify that the current icon has been changed to one of''Finding Nemo.'' Click on it and have access to the interface of the M3.

5) Once you're on the menu, locate the file and execute M3GUpdaterPlus_142.nds. In the options that appear select the Slot option''1''and then show a black screen with text. At this point indicates that you should double click''Start''button and the cartridge will begin to update.

As soon as you are finished, we turn off the console and use our M3i Zero in 3DS. Expect a reasonable time before turning off the console, because the firm makes changes in two parts, and off too soon could cause the cartridge brickeo.
