I am using akaio 1.8.6a and I can't play this game.Anti-piracy enabled and everything.The weird thing is that the game hangs in a white screen but as I saw in my SD card it creates a save file.
I tried to format my SD.The first time Okamiden worked like a charm.I played over 2 hours without any problems and shut down my DS.The second time I tried to start the game,white screen again.After that,I formatted again.White screen as a result.I installed Akaio again with no results.I downloaded both dumps to try (Lamefuck and ckvgz) with the same results.What is going on?I can confirm that ALL other games run flawlessly except Okamiden.Any suggestions?

I hate having to repeat this on every thread.
Please, before posting a report, DEBUG!!!

Steps to debug:
1) Use the Panasonic formatter to format your SD (Not windows, panasonic!!!!)
2) Redownload AKAIO. (The latest one)
3) Redownload your ROM (if it still doesn't work, get the ROM from a different website)
4) Replace your .sav file with a new one (Who knows, yours could be corrupted)
5) Fiddle with what needs to be fiddled, such as cheats, soft-reset, AP, etc.

Then MENTION that you attempted to debug, and we will try to help you.
As for now, get to debugging!

You're welcome.

I forgot to mention that I used Panasonic formatter to format in first place.
I redownloaded the rom.
I erased my save file.
I re-installed latest AKAIO 1.8.6a.
Black screen again.Why?

"then its just you" is not a valid helpful response.
Be helpful, try to inform, or don't post!

He has the right to ask you know.

Anyways, I think this might be the stupidest question ever but are you trying this on a DSi(XL) or a DSLite/Phat ?
Also, try updating the loaders using the Wi-Fi updates in AKAIO.
Tell me what happens.

QUOTE(Tai Le Ree @ Mar 13 2011, 09:28 PM) Try a different micro sd card.
I had the same problem with a different game.

I myself never managed to differentiate between the firmwares with "a" at the end and the ones without the "a".

You could try these however, and report when you do.

I just tried 1.8.5a.Nothing.
And 1.8.5. Again nothing.
Re-formated.Same results.Two white screens.
Okamiden version patched and unpatched.Rien.
Every other game runs flawlessly....

Weird indeed...

Eww LameFuck

Since you bothered to try both releases, I'm going to help you here.

It's possible that you have a shit microSD card reader. Do you?

If you do, it might have corrupted during copying.

I use an USB micro SD adapter.I formated the SD card 5 times using SD formatter 3.0 (default settings,quick format,format size adjustment off) and tried also both releases of Okamiden (Lamefuck and ckvgz) patched and unpatched. Always white screens!

i know this is probably splitting hairs, but 1.85 and 1.85a?

could this be the problem, or did you just mistype?

No this is not a typo.1.8.5 +a and also 1.8.5.+a from filetrip.

@Evo.lve
Unfortunately this is a proper micro SD card reader bought from an electronics store.I have never experienced any problems with the reader in the past.Also,every other game works fine...

Maybe,I must change the rom's settings?Like the .sav size?

The problem is most likely your rom. Try downloading the rom again and make sure it hasn't been patched and says clean somewhere on the page. The anti piracy bypass feature negates the need for patching in most games and can cause conflicts.

Same stuff happened to me before for some other game.
I got white/black screen, while eveyone got it working.
My solution was an Akaio update.


Also, I have a quick question related to AAP.

I'm using AKAIO 1.8.6a with 4GB Micro SD HC on an AceKard 2i on US DSi
Game works so far but, I can't force AAP. (red text loading screen)
I also tried another 1GB Micro SD card and I can't get Red Loading screen on that card as well.

1) I format both cards with Panasonic formatter. (both quick and full format)
2) I used fresh files both for game and loader.
3) I tried enable AAP on game and general settings (tried both in all combinations)

I can only get yellow loading screen. And, in my case, this does mean "it can't use AAP" right ? (and I will not be able to bypass some level)

The red loading screen was for a specific DMA mode, and isn't related as to whether AAP is enabled or not. The 'default' DMA mode is the yellow one now and you can't press and hold the other buttons to enable other modes.

OH! My mistake. I was thinking that only Red text is the AAP mode. (and never been able to use it)
I didn't play Okamiden just because I though, I couldn't enable AAP.

Thank you.
