Why is Gbatemp hyping the RPG Acekard so much? They constantly control the news and frontpage here @ gbatemp and the news about it has subjective terms in it that shouldn't be in a newspost....

Somebody said that the code is bad, but it isn't that bad IMO. I've seen worse. It would pretty maintainable though it would require quite a while to review all of it.
The english comments aren't all that bad, and there wasn't many dirty looking hacks or workarounds from what i saw. (I didn't check all of it though)
The bad things are : there were some commented-out code, without any comment of why it was commented-out... Also some Chinese comments were in it. And the methods were not the best choice of naming, a lot of the methods gave me no idea what it does. Which isn't good.
It shouldn't be the hardest code to maintain. Moonshell is way larger when it comes to the code anyway.
In a few minutes... riiiiiiiiiiiiightI don't really understand what you're trying to say in your first quote, but the second one has alot of misconsumptions, in my opinion. The card itself may not have everything you want, but you can add it and add it on there within seconds. Pay? Who would pay for a custom firmware? 99.9% of people would do it for the fame they'd get from it, not to earn money. Hell, if me and Savant get working, I can put alot of things that I've wanted on a flashcart, onto an Acekard in a few minutes.

We get accused of being biased towards every flash cart at the time they come out... naturally there is more news about new flash carts and thus they take up a lot of frontpage time... There's nothing seedy about it.I feel kinda weird seeing all these people with multiple slot-1s wanting this new one.. Like.. I have my R4 and that's good for me. Why would I want another one? Each one gets better with each release.
2 Games? More like 20. Then again, most of these games suck so eh.Ok. 2 games out of 1200+ is DEFINITELY minimal compatibility issues, no matter how you look at it. What do you want to be said, that the R4 is utter garbage and should be burned and destroyed because Worms 2 and Deltora Quest don't work without a patch, when there's no way to fix the Acekards download play and soft reset issues like that? Get real.
which games does it need to patch on the fly?Well according to the clean rom patcher, so does AceKardRPG.
seeing that you own a cycloDS, where do you think that belongs in the rankings, alastair? I'm just curious.
Huh? Doesn't the RPG have 100% capatiblity too? And also you don't have to buy a specific SD card for problematic games.(same goes for G6 Real) So the problems with the RPG that keep it from being the best cart are the features that haven't been added yet.I read everything I could find about the available cartridges and purchased based on what DS flash cart. plays DS games the best. If that makes me ignorant, I'm sorrybut I will never accept from anyone that a card with inferior compatibility (R4/ARPG) is better.
I didn't get my CycloDS because I heard that it had as wonderful support for download play as the other options.Â

Every last card that has been made does, every card that will be made in the future will too. It's the result of using flash memory, it's slower than the ROM memory Nintendo is using and that's all there is to it. A well designed card will implement a patching method that can be very effective, but there will always be the possibility of a game not working on a card if it's throwing something the patcher can't handle.Well according to the clean rom patcher, so does AceKardRPG.
