format your msd using the panasnic formatter
download, unrar, and drag/drop akaio 1.4.1 proper into the root.
push the msd FIRMLY into the ak2i. if it has a spring make sure it clicks, if it doesn't have a spring push on it until it hurts your finger.

if after that its not working you have a connection problem. this is a common problem with the ak2i. i would suggest to you that you return it for a replacement.

if it says system file missing either 1) you don't know how to put on the firmware or 2) the msd is not making contact. usually it gets stuck at the loading screen when the msd has seat issues. again a common problem for the rushed to market, gotta be first for the dsi, ak2i. all acekard products have a 1yr warranty. acekard recently said this officially on their web site. contact your retailer, explain the problem, and ask for a replacement.

Just like to say I noticed a big difference when I updated (especially with the cheat menu) thanks guys.

I own one Acekard but have given 3 out to friends and recommended Acekard to another whom got it. The three I gave out to friends I ended up installing Akaio on it right off the bat and I'm pretty much the one who updates their cards for them too. The one friend that bought the acekard is still running on OF but I'm trying to get him to switch over :3.

You guys rock.

Thought I'd tell you that.

Alright, I apologize if this is not the proper place to seek help, yet I did everything I could to resolve my issue myself yet have reached a dead end. I am using an Acekard 2, and just updated to 1.4.1 yesterday. I played a game with it for 4-5 hours yesterday, then left it to charge. When I tried to load it up today though, the card refused to boot. After the DS Health warning, I get the loading indicator quickly, then both screens flash white for a split second and then turn black. After that, they stay like that. Following the most relevant instructions on the wiki, I tried reloading the SD micro card into the Acekard many times, and also reloaded the Acekard in the DS many times. I also reformatted my SD card (on a Mac, so no Panasonic utility, yet it should be formatted just fine in FAT 16), reinstalled AKAIO and one rom tester file, but all with the same result. I also tried loading the official Acekard 2 firmware, which loads and then freezes. I do not have access to another DS or micro SD, so I cannot easily test whether this is a flashcard issue or a software issue. Can you guys please advise me? Thanks a lot!!

from what i've read the mac adds some files after a format proprietary to the mac o/s. those files screw up the booting of the msd card, in some way. i duno much about it, i hate macs personally... never was one for status symbols =P. you could format using the unix system under the mac o/s or running windows in a virtual environment so that you can use the panasonic formatter.

although your problem sounds more like missing system files or a contact issue. you said you tried to seat the msd numerous times, so perhaps it is just a corrupt msd and now a faulty format.

keep at it!

Oh my =/

People use macs for a whole different reason, at least the people I know. It's a different platform than Windows and Linux, and each has its advantages.

Having used Windows most of my life, I can say that the last 3 years I've been on Macs have improved my productity a lot, and I don't plan on going back.

And as far as I'm concerned, my productivity does not improve by using status symbols.

Hi, just a quick question:
Are the loaders on http://akaio.gbatemp.net/loaders/ newer or older than the ones on the 1.4.1 repack?

I ask this because the ones on the repack are from 5/2/09 (for Europeans this is 2/5/09 = 2 May 09) and the ones on the loaders page are 01/06/09, is this 1 June 09 or 6 January 09?
Thx.

When will the new AKAIO be released? Don't flame me if I missed out on a vital thread or something.
It'll be released when it's read, which could be any time within the next few days or few weeks. Or few months. They won't say exactly.
