first of all, sorry for my poor Engrish,but I'm from China.I'm the first who bring u a review u so eagerly anticipated
and I'm not one of the promoters,I'm a middle school student.I even don't have a DS,though I thought to buy one before Xmas.now I'm playing Finalfantasy 5,my Japanese is poor too!! anyone help me with the walkthrough?
here is the url,see to it yourself if u know a few Chinese
yyjoy
1 100% ds game compatibility
2 the brand-new AKFS file system,support 100%clean rom now and in the future(which means it will not be recognized in other platforms,'cause it's an unique OS designed by the Acecard team.
3 pokeman diamond runs well just like others(Is it a small advantage over ds-X?)
4 Acekard manager needed to be installed in your PC
5 do not support GBA games
6 no need for flashme
7 build in passme function
8 support nds ndsl as well as Idsl,whatever ds you may have
9 no need for upgrading the firmware
10 use TF cards,kingston kingmax sandisk,etc.according to the card,automatically choose the speed.sundisk runs at a speed of 13,kingmax 3,kingston 4
11 spiderman lego war 100% support
12 price RMB 360,$about 45?
13 U can buy it late in the Oct(in China)
14 support for homebrews
I think U'd ponder on it those who decided to buy DS-x,it's nopoint compared to ACE
conclusion
pros:1 100% ds game compatibility
2 uses clean rom,so no need for upgrading the FW,NOW and IN THE FUTURE.as long as NINTENDO don't change their structure fundamentally(u can play your favorite game as first time,don't bother to download the patches,looking here and there.what will it be?maybe U can play ff7 as soon as it is out while your friend who has a SC or m3,g6,ds-x are waiting anxioulsy for the patches or FW upgrade.
3 use TF card as storage,that's a must-have function for some people
cons:1 unfortunately,because of it's unique file sys,support for homebrews is poor NOW(such as moonshell,could not load)
2 as it uses 100% clean rom without patching it,so U couldn't reset the game during gameplay,U must turn off the DS and on again to change a game.
it support wifi playing,but u must have the card inserted in the slot on both DS,unless your DSs are flashed.
here are some pics,have a look!!Acecard

I got that exact same feeling. He's only made two posts and BAM! he's promoting something that the rest of the homebrew world knows little about. Prolly head of PR. xD

I think:
13 U can buy it late in the Oct(in China)
-is the most important bit of news, if it is true.

That means we'll know all the answers soon, once actual reviews start coming out.

Ahh we would be more than glad to get one for a review hehe
cant help feeling a bit skeptical over this at the moment though...
Here's what I understand:

Pros:
- Price! $45 ? woot! (although you still need a microSD card and a card reader)
- Compatibility! hmm interesting
- No need to upgrade the firmware? hmm interesting too but I'm doubtful

Cons
- too bad it's compatible with windows only (unless you guys make a linux or macOS client aswell)
- why do you guy have the acekard while you're telling us it's available late october in china? and you're not in the acekard team?
- "sundisk" cards? never heard of them

- "AKFS" (acekard file system) ... = not compatible with homebrew.. too bad
- roms actually require patching since you need to install the card manager... meaning clean dumps not supported (well supported by the manager but that's not what we want)


To me it looks like a DSLink! Except for the fact you don't need a flashed DS.

Two comments on your "cons".... First, while it does appear patching may be necessary initially, he does say that clean ROMS will be supported in the future. Point #14 says "support for homebrew". While that is kind of vague, I'm not sure your "AKFS = not compatible with homebrew" will prove to be true.

Anyway, the whole patching thing isn't a big deal to me personally. I don't give a crap if a game has to be patched or not, just that it plays.

As far as i know if you patch a game it usually means that you can not play single cart multiplayer games.

Hey at least it's not like the DS-X where *BAM* it instantly gets it's own forum two months before it's release

Hey i think he's doing a good thing for all of us. I can read chinese and i often go to yyjoy to look for flash card update. Their updates is much faster than on english sites. I know what the acekard does BUT i'm just too lazy to share them with anyone and translate. So give him some credit!!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
