I have a Acekard 2i. Following the instructions, I put the linux folder and the dslinux nds file in the root of my SD card. Whenever I try to run it, it just shows a white screen. I also have no ram expansion. What should I do?
Well, why do you want to run DSLinux in the first place?
I'm supposed to press L+R+B+A+Down, right? Because it's not working. Sorry if I did the wrong thing, it just says nowhere where to turn off the soft reset hooks.
It's not the same on AKAIO. There's no settings, just Properties and System Options.Another World: Okay, I get it. I just wanted to know if there was any functionality (EG: Web browsing) that they wanted that could be reproduced elsewhere.
Hellothere: On Wood R4 (should be the same on AKAIO) you need to A: Download a new copy of DSLinux, B: Hit start, C: go over to Settings, D: Change the arrow at the top until it says "Patches" E: Change Reset Hotkey and Reset in Game to off, and F: Hit OK and save settings.
no, i'm saying you switch the method or turn it off, not to make use of it. the hook patches into ram before the homebrew loads, it can cause issues that will make it not work. so switchin it will switch the patch, one may allow the hb to load where the other would not.
to turn off soft-rest you either do it in the options of akaio or in the properties of the file itself. info is in the wiki links i posted above.

Careful now: ZipGenius and Winzip apparently neglect empty directories (like linux/home) and mess up line endings in files which will result in an unbootable system because the startup scripts will fail to run
did you try the dldi swap?
and you read all the info online: http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/RunningDSLinux.html? you put everything in root as per the instructions?
did you extract the archive using WinZip?
did you extract directly to your msd card as per the instructions?
did you try running your copy on a ds emu, just to double check that it is working?
