I'm getting back into my DS Lite, as soon as I repair my top screen. I haven't used my Acekard in a year or two. I know that AKAIO hasn't been updated for a bit, but have any games come out for the DS since then that AKAIO can't handle, or is it smooth sailing all the way through the end of the published titles?

i know that pokemon black 2 and white 2 work and those were really late in the DS's lifetime. I would suppose so but if a game doesn't work i'd love to know.

I own an AK2i myself, and I have never encountered a single problem with any game. My game database currently has approximately 196 games, which may not seem like much, but there is quite a bit of ignored games out there, so chances are the games you download could be some of those 196.

The only time I have ever encountered a single error is when I tried modifying the ROM with a program on my computer or combining Cheat codes to where it would corrupt, delete, or hinder with the game's files, etc.

So basically unless it is a homebrew (fan-made, not official) game, I'm pretty sure it can play 95% or more of all DS games.
Just remember that AK2i can not run on an updated 3DS or updated DSi, XL's don't change anything either.

hombrew should be near 100%, i made sure of that. pretty sure norm hated me back then, always bugging him with homebrew testing. =P

at one point we went through every released rom and tested them 1 at a time. rom compatibility should be extremely high. you'll find that even roms like the ds download station compiled demos (gauntlet) work under akaio.
