Hi,

As seen in my previous posts, I'm now the owner of a AK 2.1 (at least 2.1 is printed on the label, Pictures can be found here) and I have some problemes with this card regarding the cheat functions.

I'm usually no user of cheats, but I use the Backlight code in many games on my old M3 DS Simply and they are working great.

On my AK I installed the latest 4.08 FW and the cheats.xml (EU only) from cheats.gbatemp.net.
I Fired it up and rebuilded the cheat database and enabled the backlight codes e.g. for N+.
Then I enabled cheats in the global settings and tried to launch the game. The loader said "Loading" and after this the white screen appeared.
If tried serveral games and serveral cheats and it's allways the same result.
If I enabled the cheat engine all games with enabled cheats will launch with a white screen.

Is my AK just faulty or is this a known problem?
I have also tried the AKAIO FW but theres the same problem.

Using AKAIO 1.2 on an Acekard RPG in a DSLite w/FlashMe v8 noauto.

I just tried on Civ Revolutions...
the money cheat works fine alone...
but if i enable the backlight cheat, dual white screens
disabling the backlight cheat worked for me.

Edit: backlight code alone also results in dual white screens

Hi,

thanks everyone for your tests and replies.

I have re-testet it with the full usrcheat.dat and it's indeed faster (my games folder opens almost instant).
As my new test result, all backlight codes are faulty with my AK2.
Using the "normal" cheats e.g. unlimited time in N+ everything works fine regardless of being active or not.

Thanks for looking at the backlight codes, Normmatt

I hope you can fix this, because these codes are very usefull and if you need help testing the codes please contact me.

Backlight codes have never worked.

They do now, or atleast they work better. They should work properly but it still seems to crash the rom in no$gba so i'm not sure if its no$gba being shitty or if it will still crash on hardware.

EDIT: Its working in no$gba now, and i've fixed a few other bugs in the process.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
