Update.....
It has been reported by one of the AKAIO BETA testers that the following .SAV/.sav behavior has been observed. If your file names are within the 8.3 naming convention (Mario.NDS, Pokemon.NDS), then AKAIO will currently default to .SAV. If your files are Long File Names (Mario_Party-(U).nds) then AKAIO will currently default to .sav. Users who had lowercase .sav files in the 8.3 naming convention might experience AKAIO overwriting their saves to .SAV, and users using Long File Names with .SAV might experience AKAIO overwriting their saves to .sav.

It is not known at this time if this is a bug or a requirement for AKAIO to properly process your files. Please rest assured that Normmatt and Smiths are aware of what is going on and there is no need to further report this behavior.

Additional information.....
Many users are confused over the new loaders and how to properly install them. Rumors have risen to where users have stated that they have the 1.6 RC1 loaders working correctly on their 1.5.1 install. This behavior is simply not possible. AKAIO 1.6 RC1 loaders are designed to work only with AKAIO 1.6 RC1. This feature has been included to prevent users who are running a version of AKAIO prior to 1.5, on a cloned AKAIO or cloned R4, from experiencing the improvements found in the updated loaders. The AKAIO team does not support clone cards, users who have purchased an AK2i clone (without knowing) should contact their resellers and ask for a replacement/refund. If you have properly reinstalled AKAIO 1.6 RC1 onto your microSD (1. Panasonic formatter, 2. Installed _AIO, akmenu4.nds) and you are experiencing 2 white screens, you may have a clone as this is the behavior of the current clone detection algorithm.

"Say goodbye to the Arc or Gem and hello to the PlayStation Move. Sony has revealed the official name for its motion controller, coming this fall in three forms - alone, with the PlayStation Eye, or bundled with a PS3.

The European trademark office spilled the beans a bit early, but that doesn't stop Sony from being excited about the PlayStation Move.

Speaking at Sony's GDC press conference, which we are liveblogging here, Sony's Peter Dille hyped up the Move, saying that "previous motion devices have used controller simply as pointer of mouse — ours becomes an extension of your body."

"We're approaching this like a virtual platform launch," Dille continued, explaining that the Move will be available by itself, with the PlayStation Eye, which it will work in conjunction with, and as part of a special PlayStation 3 bundle.

No concrete pricing details were given, but the bundle with the PlayStation Eye was said to run under $99.

Check out our liveblog for more on the PlayStation Move."
