OK, I need a little help here with some information. I just got an DSi with an Acekard 2i and I'm confused on the different software being discussed here.

First off, what exactly is AKAIO? I tried going to the Wiki, but there's a message stating that it is down for maintenance. So it is a replacement dash/firmware for the official firmware? The AK2i seems to be running fine with the official firmware, but if there is some reason to be using AKIAO then i certainly want to be using it. Second, what is the AKAIO Wifi plugin? What does it do? Third, what is the akloader?

Basically, I just need a quick run down and what these are and why I should be using them. I'm not completely new to this type of stuff, just new to the DSi and Acekards. So I just need basic info to get me caught up.

Thanks!

AKAIO is a public source of the acekard system. So developers can modify and add some nice things to it. People here suggests to use it because it's faster than the normal Acekard OS and it has much more capabilities. "It features better compatibility, more options, more behind the scenes optimizations, better 3in1 support, anti-piracy patching, WI-FI updates, multiple patching methods, faster directory scrolling, more soft-reset fixes, a rewritten cheat engine, an active development team, and much more."

About the wifi plugin...cant help.

The loaders seems to make the acekard more compatible with games and homebrew, son you don't have any kind of errors during gameplay.

I don't know much about all of this, sorry.

Hi so i have an r4ultra, and im trying to load acekard on it.

Ive been trying for a while, but whenever i turn my ds lite back on, it gets stuck on "Loading...".


On my microsd i have the _aio folder and the akmenu4.nds like u said, as well as my ROMs folder labelled NDSroms.

the only thing ive touched in the _aio folder is putting ak2loader.nds in the loaders folder as instructed.
pls help me

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Prob alot of fried parts. It was still smoking when I left.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always wanted one of those Smart Cars with a Hyabusa motor in it.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm getting sick and tired of cheap ass baking pans now
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think it be cool to have one that would fit in my pickup truck bed, then I could put down ramps n drive it off.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Used this one 5 times already impossible to clean
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You need the $900 copper coated ones, they are good for 10 times cooking before they are un cleanable
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Condoms are only meant to be used once Ken lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Well damn that explains how you were born
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
