    Hacking Acekard 2i and 512MB rom

    Thanks for the feedback. So, is this just an error caused by the acekard manufacturer or is it an ant-piracy mechanism by nintendo specifically for the acekard? In the latter case, I would just wait for a patched nds file...

    Hacking Acekard 2i and 512MB rom

    Hi, I wanted to try out the newly released Ninokuni game and it is the first 512MB game that I use. Now I heard that some of these games (and Ninokuni in particular) bricks the acekard by flashing the ROM chip. Is that true and what do I have to do before starting the game? Updating to the...

    Hacking Save game always deleted

    I am using an acekard 2i on DSi (1.4) and the newest AKAIO loader release 1.6. Since a while, my savegames are always suddenly deleted or resetted. Some games say the save data is corrupted, other games just start from the beginning with no user data. I can't remember that I changed anything...

    Hacking GBA on Acekard 2i

    I am confused. I thought that a Slot-2 solution is required to run GBA on a DS. But the last post in this threat states that GBA can be run directly from Slot-1 with Acekard 2 and AKAIO. http://dsgamemaker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&p=16017 So what is true?

    Hacking acekard 2i cheats not working

    I have an acekard 2i with AKAIO installed. Cheat play is enabled. I deleted all contents in the cheats folder and downloaded the cheat file from http://cheats.gbatemp.net/ and put the xml file in it. But now it says database not found. On New super mario bros, cheats are working after I wait a...

    Hacking Acekard 2i

    Hello, I have got two Acekard 2i from DX. They both work on a DS lite (I haven't tested DSi yet). They both show the built version HW: 81 (I suggest these are the older ones?), but one card has a spring load microSD slot and the other has no spring load. Does this mean one card is not real or...

    ROM Hack Universal savegame editor?

    Hello, I'm wondering if there is a program to edit .nds.sav files. I want to play Mario Kart via wireless connection with an other DS, and we are using the same .sav file that has all tracks unlocked, with the same User name. I want to change one user name so the two players can be better...

    Hacking Does AKAIO require official firmware first?

    Does anyone know if the internal firmware of the Acekard 2i is updated if the card is used for the first time with the official startup files? I am asking because I heard that one should use the official software at least once first before formatting the microSD card and put AKAIO on it. I read...

    Hacking Does the firmware flasher of DS onei really make sense?

    I didn't even know that you can upgrade the firmware of an existing old DS. What's the point of upgrading? My DS is working perfectly and I can not imagine that an upgrade would add any new features. And if you want a new DS coming out in the near future and you don't have already an old DS...

    Hacking Does the firmware flasher of DS onei really make sense?

    ...or is it just a marketing gimmick? According to product info, the firmware flasher can be used in case that Nintendo modifies their DS devices causing the flashcard to stop functioning. So, this means I can upgrade the firmware in case that I will buy any new DS model in the future and save...

    Hacking Unofficial firmware for Supercard

    OK, I will try to solve the problem while using the official firmware. I am just curious regarding the acekard: does that mean if I buy a new acekard I should run the official software first so the firmware is upgraded correctly, and then copy AKAIO on the MicroSD card subsequently?
