I've searched. I promise! But I'm still kind of a n00b, so please be gentle.
I've had my Acekard2 v2.1 (not i) for about a year, and it's worked great in my DS Lite. I've removed it and reloaded it maybe 2 or 3 times only over the past year, so it doesn't get a lot of bouncing around activity. Yesterday I removed, reloaded, and updated the AKAIO to 1.7. It started up fine and listed all my games. But when I tried to play some of my games, every single game got stuck on "Loading Do not turn off", even games that worked fine before. So, I searched!
I reformatted the MicroSD card (I have a Mac, used the Disk Utility and MS DOS Fat).
Reloaded the the MicrosSD with games and AKAIO
Plugged it back in my DS Lite...
Now it's even worse, and when I turn it on, it stays stuck on "Loading", and doesn't even load the menu. This apparently means that it's not reading the MicroSD, but my computer can read it fine and I can copy/erase things off it from my computer.
I've tried the "paper trick" on both the cart and the MicroSD
I've gone back and used older versions of AKAIO
I've cleaned the contacts
I've pulled out my hair and done spiritual dances around it
I've read about upgrading the firmware, but I can only find info about that for Acekard 2i (which I don't have).
Have I missed anything?
