Nintendo DSi - Acekard and R4i - play games with european languages

I've found a trick to play games in your favorite language on your DSi with Acekard or R4i. Acekard and R4i only work if you set the system language of your DSi to english but then all games without language selection are in english.
Here is the solution how to play these games in your favorite language.


I used the Acekard Firmware on the R4i, because the R4i Cheat system doesn't work for me.
I hope my ordered Acekard2i will reach me soon because the R4i is @!$%&# ;)

Here the instructions:

Required Software:
R4i Firmware for R4i users: http://r4ultra.com/download/ENGLISH_1.53.zip
Akaio Firmware for Ak2i AND R4i users: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=5069
OR

Acekard Firmware for Ak2i AND R4i users: http://www.acekard.com/download/ak2/ak2_416_20090404_release.zip

Cheat Code Editor: http://www.r4ds.cn/download/Cheat-code-editor-en-v1.01.rar

I will explain the Cheat for Akaio Firmware. For original Acekard Firmware its nearly the same. The only difference is the position of the Cheat Menu in the Firmware.

Acekard users start at step 2!

  1. Download R4i Firmware and extract it into the root of your microsd card
  2. Download Acekard/Akaio Firmware and extract it into the root of your microsd card
  3. Download the Cheat Code Editor, extract it to your favorite folder in your windows os and start it (editor instructions can be found here: http://www.r4ds.cn/download/Cheat_code_editor.html)
  4. First you need the game id for the game yout want to cheat. Click "Tools(T)" -> "get GameID form ROM". Open your ROM and copy the number from the popup window.
  5. Click "Code(C)" -> "add game" (or use the small ds icon)
  6. Paste the GameID in field "Game ID" on the right side and enter a Game Name
  7. Click "Code(C)" -> "add code"
  8. Enter a cheat name in the field "Cheat Name". Name it in your preferred language.
  9. Then enter the language cheat (without language name) in the field "Cheat Data". Here are the codes:

    Francais:
    027FFCE4 00000002
    Deutsch:
    027FFCE4 00000003
    Italiano:
    027FFCE4 00000004
    Espanol:
    027FFCE4 00000005

    IMPORTANT: click "Update Code" otherwise it won't be saved for the game
  10. Do this for ALL of your games
  11. Then click the save button and save the cheat file with the name "usrcheat.dat". Copy it on your microsd into the folder: "__aio\cheats" (for Akaio Firmware) , "__ak2\cheats\" (for original Acekard Firmware)
  12. For R4i users: Start your DSi and run the R4i and start the "akmenu4.nds". The Acekard Firmware will boot
  13. For Acekard users: Start your DSi and run the Acekard
  14. Select the game you want to play in your language and click Start -> Cheats -> Click the square of your language cheat to activate it (its checked then). Push "select" on your DSi to save the cheat.
  15. Start the game its now in your language
  16. Have fun!
For original Acekard firmware the cheat menu is somewhere in properties-> rom info

I hope the Acekard team will develope an auto language cheat function in there next firmware.

I have tested these cheat and it works perfectly. If you have any question I'll help you.

  1. Hello Stormworm,
    Thanks for Your information!
    You can have it a bit easier:
    If You want to play a rom called xyz.nds in your language you need a file called xyz.cc in the same directory. You can create that file using Windows Notepad and save it as xyz.nds
    In this file there has to be only the following information:

    @German
    ;@Data Length: 2
    ;------------------
    227FFCE4 00000003

    If you prefer another language you have to replace german and the code for german by the code you provided above:

    Francais:
    027FFCE4 00000002

    Italiano:
    027FFCE4 00000004

    Espanol:
    027FFCE4 00000005

    You need to save a file like this for every game and it has to have exactly the same name like the ROM. So a ROM called Zeldakart(EU).ROM needs a file called Zeldakart(EU).cc to run in your language.

    Thanks to cory1492 and to Thotty89 for their ideas and help on this!

  2. Oh, I forgot:
    using the AK2i cheats have to be enabled of course. START -> Patches -> Cheat/Action Replay -> enabled

  3. Oh, sorry I mistyped myself:

    If You want to play a rom called xyz.nds in your language you need a file called xyz.cc in the same directory. You can create that file using Windows Notepad and save it as xyz.cc

    I am sorry I wrote xyz.ndz

  8. I have used Nintendo DSi Component Video game Accessory. I also found The Nintendo Wii Component Cable links your Wii console to your TV, allowing you to view and share your thoughts with other customers. The Wii did in fact scale the game up to 480p instead of 480i. 480p progressive output displays at a higher resolution than standard 480i resolution.

  10. Things You'll Need:

    * A computer, with internet connection
    * A Nintendo DS
    * A Nintendo DS Flashcart(www.gameplayfun.com)
    * A Micro SD chip, preferably 8 GB or higher

    Step 1
    The R4 DS Flashcart.
    First, you will need a DS flash cart.
    These are basically shaped just like and normal DS game,
    only here's the catch- they can hold a Micro SD chip,
    and play hundreds, if not thousands, of free DS games downloaded right off the Internet!
    I recommend purchasing the R4, M3, or Edge DS flash carts.
    You can purchase these at www.gameplayfun.com (which has cheap prices but slow shipping),
    or just type in 'DS flash carts' on the web and order one. They're relatively inexpensive($14-$20 each).

    Step 2
    After obtaining a DS flash cart and a Micro SD chip,
    use either an SD card adapter or a USB adapter
    (which will probably come with your purchased flash cart)
    to plug in your Micro SD chip into your Nintendo DS.

    Step 3
    Type in 'nintendo ds roms' into Google,
    or any other search engine, and you'll find many,
    many, websites. I recommend starting http://www.gameplayfun.com/category-s/29.htm

    Step 4
    Once you've downloaded your game
    (which will take some time, based on the file size),
    place it into your micro SD, put the Micro SD into your DS flash cart,
    plug it into your Nintendo DS, and you're done!

  13. I bought my Acekard 2i from
    http://www.electro-deal.com and I recommend this online store to everyone.

  14. I can confirm that the usrcheat.dat technique also works with the Supercard DSTWO. Copy the usrcheat.dat file to the _dstwo folder.

    I tried the same technique with an Acekard 2i, but it didn't work for me. The system would just freeze when I tried to start the game. I tried it with two games with the same result, Dragon Quest V and Contact. The .cc technique didn't work either for me either. The system just seemed to ignore it.
