I present you all: The cheapest Acekard 2i in Manila. whoot!!

850 phillipine peso is around 18 dollars, right? If you have PayPal, you can get the Acekard 2i for $14, free delivery, from Dealextreme. The only downside, delivery takes a month. But it's cheap

[quote name='Chris_Skylock' post='2119991' date='Jul 14 2009, 04:54 PM']Im here live in Manila and I must say that the Acekard 2i is THE CHEAPEST FLASHCART in the Philippines. For as low as Php 850, you can get a HW 44 Acekard 2i with green PCB - whatever you call the motherboard.

Also, yesterday, I was almost hit by a 10 wheeler truck in UP Diliman. it was 10 feet behind me and it got hit in the Acasia trees. Sadly, I wasnt hurt.

I'll purchase another Acekard 2i and give it away to fellow Filipino here in GBATEMP sometime next month. Subject to change without prior notice.

EZ Flash Vi is the same as Php 1,100. I wonder why the acekard 2i has dropped price.

The store in Manila is in V-Mall Greenhills at a store name GAME EXTREME, it's on third floor and search for it throughly the stalls.[/quote]

So cool! Definitely buying on my birthday. Hey, is there an expansion pack there too?

WOAH. 850 PESOS.
Too bad I don't have money. Used it on my FFV that died in a few hours. LOL

You're lucky. Almost hit by a ten wheeler truck. Did local media interview you with nonsense questions?

And to whoever will get that Acekard, wow, free Acekard for you .

For the meantime, more saving for me. Got no money D:.

EDIT: Grammatical errors FTL

Wow those are crazy prices. Sure at DealExtreme it is cheaper, but at least, when you are in the Philippines buying it at the stores, you can tell if there are any problems, check it's condition, if it works etc. Buying online is sorta a risk since you gotta wait and you don't know what condition it will be in when it comes to you.

Heey I live in Canada, can I get the free AceKard 2i xDD.

Other than that... Scary experience.

this makes me wonder: how many tempers are there from which countries?

being a naive american, I had to look up manila on a map. Not to mention the only other flags I've recognized on gbatemp are Britain and Spain... and I think I saw Spain...or was it Mexico...

heh, exactly my point.

and before any of you say "wtf? Mexico's your neighbor!". Well, I live in Maine. That's as far away from Mexico as you can get, excluding Alaska.

Make sure to ask the stupid girls the COLOR BLACK PCB WITH HW81. They might give you HW44 which will cause problems in AKAIO and some on the official firmware as well.

I'll post every details in the acekard forum. I'll give a link.

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=167676

I got 2 people on my list now based from this topic so I might buy 2 Acekard now sometime next month (different day on purchasing). Though subject to change with notice and I'll wait for my budget next week.

There are no reports on the accident. sadly. but I'll avoid the media if i can.

Php850 is cheap because Acekard is as expensive as Php 1,300, 1,500, 1,700, 1,900. You can only buy a fake R4 with Php 900

Please be advised that the FAKE one that I got has a square thing rising at the middle of the cart. Please bring an AKAIO loaded microSD and slap to their face when it says UNSUPPORTED DEVICE. Tell them it's fake and demand for a black PCB Acekard 2i.

The one I'll be giving out WILL BE GENUINE ACEKARD 2i from the same shop. I'll search their stocks for GENUINE ACEKARD 2i. I'll test first before I give it away. I have my own standards so dont worry. *Subject to change without prior notice

Thanks to Another World and the other guy who gave me links to the Acekard PCB identification but Ididnt understand everything on that topic

So does that mean I am on the list xDD.

Next time I go to Philippines, I am gonna bring my DS. Buy an AceKard 2i, pre-load the firmware onto my SD Card, then test it out there. If it doesn't work, I will yell at them saying, this doesn't work! It's fake! And I gotta note this: COLOR BLACK PCB WITH HW81

I'm probably on the list for the giveaway too. Let me think, how many Filipinos are here again?

About... around 15 I guess, there are probably some more but I don't see them active.

Maybe I'm on the list or maybe I am I hope so... :yayds:

anyways, DEMAND for a BLACK PCB with HW81 acekard 2i. bring AKAIO loaded microSD and fuck the girl's face that if the one they gav you has UNSUPPORTED DEVICE, demand for a new one. Dont believe it was the "loader"

Also, the one im giving away is still in planning. nothing is confirmed until I have my budget. I have my first priorities like a new external HDD. I'll announce next month if I'll go for it.

I'll review the two fellow filipino in this topic. other filipino (within philippines) a=can join as long as they are worthy enough to own one. on the meantime, I can see the two filipino here need a flashcart. I'll have to use my strict standard if i can give the both of them or just one. Im only allowed to give away two GENUINE Acekard 2i

i remember my 2800 pesos R4


lol, but my ds died and that F'ing 2,800 chip is just lying around collection dust..


when i get another DSi i'd probably get one of that


wait, I'm on the list too right?

wow its soo cool you just get flashcarts in normal shops and that there they arent illegal

[quote name='rockstar99' post='2124215' date='Jul 16 2009, 07:57 PM']wow its soo cool you just get flashcarts in normal shops and that there they arent illegal [/quote]


It's actually illegal, but i suppose nobody cares about them here.

Wow all Filipinos here getting hyped on the Acekard giveaway .
As for the two Filipinos, is it me and KingdomBlade I see we were the two Filipinos that posted here before you posted that post but jan777 posted after that post (uhh too many "posts").
oh noes im getting hyped too D: must focus on current homework first.

@rockstar99 - Some people here don't like pirates. So when they see your flashcart they might go "EI DATS ILEEGAHL GIB MEE DAT ILL GIV IT TU DA PULIS" or if they own an R4/clone and realized that its a clone/outdated they might say that out of sheer jealousy (tricked my classmate I said that I have an M3 Real Perfect). Some filipino sony fanboys also say that if they think the DS is lame (hated my classmates, always sayin that and if I show em my PSP, they say its junk, which I sort of agree).

LATE EDIT: stupid typo >

Bring an AKAIO loaded microSD and open a random game (Pokemon Platinum is best for this) and see if it hangs or the UNSUPPORTED DEVICE black screen of death will greet you.

I was lucky to get another black PCB Acekard 2i and I hope those scumbags will learn their lesson and sell genuine Acekard 2i.

Filipino's DONT CARE about intellectual properties unless it affects them (local movies, sex scandals)

you can buy bootleg anime DVD in malls or the very pirated pirated DVDs on the streets.
Yes Im talking about Comic Alley in SM Malls. lol. I love them and I think Anime officials here in the Philippines support them as we dont have licensed anime DVD. Commercial movies are illegal here if sold in pirated.

you can official buy modded and pirated games/consoles here as long as you have the money to counter those scumbag enforcers. anyway, we're getting off topic.

I'll purchase 1 Acekard 2i and the other one will follow. so I'll be giving away at two separate days. Free shipping of course but like I said, I can always take my words so dont expect a guaranteed free acekard 2i. Im doing this as I hav extra money and it's cheap. we're only CLASS 2 family so I need time to recharge. I want to try what GBATEMP is doing with its contest only I have no sponsors. Im giving away with my own money.

Anyways. This is the end of my reply here in this topic as I already gave you tips on where to buy and how to buy cheap acekard 2i. I see no reason to post anymore in this topic.

I'll review the filipinos (who lived in the philippines) here so I can see who to give it at. Thank you for your time. I hope I can announce for next month.

If you dont mind, I can give my Acekard 2.1 right now but it was opened and was glued together with elmers glue. it's working fine but you should be really careful when handling it. do not fold or try to open it as it's only glued with ELMER'S GLUE. I should have used a super glue (mighty bond) but I might break the PCB. If it's alright to some filipinos here. AKAIO 1.4.1 with latest in everything works but the loader is the may 30th something. subject to change without prior notice.

Edu Manzano I feel your pain. I hate those annoying PSP fanboys always saying. O YONG DS BA MAY BLABLA

I'm fine with a glued Acekard 2.1 since my flashcart is a cheap TTDS (Original) and my first SD card is fragmented but I'm too lazy to format.

I will not give you a near defective product as it's not on my standards. we are strict with product standard. I should be able to buy a 2i next week but the shipping will begin next month.

I'll test the 2.1 even more on how strong elmer's glue is. AKAIO is working fine but the glue part intrigues me.

I hate PSP fanboys. i prefer gameplay than graphics. The PSP sucks because of the battery life is way too short but i respect my elder brother for having a PSP. he borrowed my DS Lite once because he was bored. I wonder if he will borrow my DSi?

I'll test the durability of my Acekard 2.1 and the glue. I'll be force to use mighty bond or bulldog (names of super glue in the Philippines) but I'll avoid the motherboard or PCB.

I have a strict standard, remember that.

LOL my (former) classmates said that "May Pokemon ba diyan sa DS? Sa PSP di problema may gPSP naman eh" (Is there Pokemon in the DS? It's not a problem for the PSP since there is gPSP) lol idiots.

btw I see you posted so early in the morning . Got one more week of no classes for my school

@Chris: Woah you're serious about that give away be sure to glue it right for the winner hehe

Most Filipinos are suckers for eye candies that's why they like the PSP more.
