Upgraded on a Kingston 4GB SDHC (Taiwan), with a 1.48ms random access time.

Before, I got black screens with Golden Sun, 999 and Sonic Colors... now on 1.8.5a, all three are booting. Thanks, AKAIO team!

Sorry to be a noob but how do you uograde 1.8.5 to 1.8.5a........the latter aio file has only the loaders and a new a4kmenu. Is it just a case of using the latter loaders and the latter a4k menu files.

Install 1.8.5, then extract 1.8.5a replacing the loaders and akmenu4.nds

Definitely download it.
Like, the Wifi Updater on the DS itself. Am I able to use that, or must I get it from the site?
*facepalm*
You can't update your AceKard using the Nintendo DSi Updater!
I still have an AceKard 2 with an older version of AKAIO. What I want to know is if I can just take what I have (FILES AND ALL) and just put it in the AceKard 2i. Would it work or not? From what I've found, it should.

Yes. The AIO part of AKAIO stands for All-In-One, the Acekard 2.1 & 2i use the same AKAIO revision, there isn't a difference. However I believe the Original Acekard 2 was dropped support a while back.

Hey guys!

I'm having trouble with the AKAIO updates and Golden Sun...

The thing is, with AKAIO 1.8.5, even if I'm activating the Anti-Piracy Patch the game never loads. It's always stuck on a loading...(in yellow). And I could un GBA games.
I had an old backup of my card, on AKAio 1.8.1. So I used it, and guess what, everything worked great. Golden Sun launch well. The only problem is that I can't load any GBA games...

So, I formatted my SD card, reloaded AKAIO 1.8.5, and now, nothing works. No Golden Sun, no GBA Games....

Can someone clarify all this for me please!!

SD cards are getting cheaper and cheaper and that's not only the price I'm talking about.

I have two Acekard 2i's with 2GB Sandisks (dunno make or model or anything about them except I bought them from Office Depot directly one day in 2009)

Both are heavily used with many many games, and Path of Destruction was just put on one and used perfectly with the latest loaders (uploading those now.. go Norm).

So yeah, keep trying, keep shining, and you may have to get a diff microSd.

Thanks for letting us know about the new loaders, Smiths. I just checked the Monster truck game and it's working flawlessly now, as you reported. Nice job!

I've just updated my AKAIO to 1.8.5(a), and everything (including Ghost Trick) seems to be working well. I'll test it a bit more throughly later on.
My MicroSD is one of those Taiwanese Class 4 Kingstons that had a lot of trouble running things such as Pokémon Black/White in the past, by the way.

I formatted my sd card with panasonic formatter again, upload 1.8.5 (also 1.8.5a), and still not working.

SOME games are not working (Dragon Quest IX, Golden Sun,999), not all of them.


Ack2i HW: 81
Kingston 4GB Class 4


Any suggestions?
