Yep. Acekard seems like a winner to me. For the one and only one poster who said that the AceKard was cool, go ahead and buy it and spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to use the darn thing. I bet you won't and I bet you would probably start a topic on this forum to get help for it.... But seriously, I think that Shaun should stop spending so much time on the AceKard now. Preliminary tests already reveal that the AceKard does not live up to its expectations. Its futile to do further testing on the card when there are so many inconveniences with it. From the posts I have read so far from Shaun and Costello, AceKard will never beat out DS-X. Before, I stated that Shaun would rate Acekard at 4.5/10. I change that to 3.5/10.
Anyways, someone posted:

"Not complaining but I think it may be unfair to judge the cart before release and with possibly (apart from the language) different software/OS features.
It may be easier to not format your card with English instructions and software, though I won't be surprised if it isn't...
I know a few people were unhappy with the early review of the DS-X and are still waiting for the promised follow up review. And that was a final retail sample (I know this AceKard is too, but not an English final sample)"

Well, if you are a company, wouldn't you want to send out a damn near perfect working copy of your product to a reviewer?? Why would you send something that is half complete?
Something that is so complicated to use? No, AceKart is not worth it, even if it cost $50.
Lastly, no one was unhappy with the DS-X review. They were being critical because the DS-X had a fixed amount of memory so they couldn't store 20+ games on it. Basically, they vented and in doing so, said the ds-x was not worthy of the price and that they would wait for other slot 1 solutions to come around. Well, here it is: the Acekard! Gotta love it, right.

you idiot, they are releasing english versions shortly!
Acekard has claimed 100% as long as the format for ds games doesn't change (meaning ALL future games will work too)thats right surely i must not repeat this a gallizion times 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%
the save system could be a bother, but as costello corrected, it does indeed remember the save type selected, so this is only a once input, hardly a problem.
from what i gather, homebrew is bad due to no-one having developed to format (meaning no DSorganise to that insistant dude), but the "team" has released a modified version of moonshell that works on acekard, so u at least have some basic media functions.
a stand alone software that has to be used to manage the cart is really REALLY annoying. that's what you get from using your own file system.
the ds-x has limited memory, but the upside is it's just drag and drop, wherever there's internet (which is EVERYWHERE), and wherever there's a PC nearby, you can just upload new stuff on it. it doesn't even matter what OS is it. that's a big plus for me.
