Acekard HWID ??

AK2i
HWID: 81
PCB: Yellow
Ordered through BambooGaming.

 

How do I find that out?

 

Load the AK. Start --> Help. There should something along the lines of "HW:" at the bottom of the popup. That's the HWID. Report back when you can.

 

Just checked the first post and you beat me to it Alright, mine is HW: 44... Probably its my unfamiliarity of the topic, but is this a good or bad thing?

 

Asides from opening the cart up, to really find out I have to run official firmware correct?

 

Guys you don't have to open up your Acekard to find out the PCB colour, just take out your microSD and have a look through the hole. You can on mine anyways (AK2i Black HW44).

 

Not that this helps... HW: 81 AK2i Black PCB

And on mine, if you look at the contacts you can see a strip of black where the PCB is showing

 

HW: 0d AKRPG Green PCB

I know it's not a AK2 or AK2i, but I thought it might still be helpful anyway.
(Shouldnt be a clone, as I pre-ordered it before it was released, so it's probably from the first shipment)

 

Alright I took a peak, mines is the same as yours then. AK2i, Black, HW 44, is this good?

So, as I understand it, this is basically a DRM system attempting to prevent use with pirated versions of a device primarily used for piracy, but inadvertently causing problems for paying customers?

That is in no way ironic.

 

Well AFAIK It's genuine - that's what I have, & it runs AKAIO 1.6RC2 with no problems

 

The AKAIO clone protection is not causing any problems for legit customers, the white screens and such are a separate problem that they're trying to figure out so they can fix, thus this thread.

 

I got the same exact one (PCB, HW and SVN), I actually bought 2 within the last year from mygamingmart in toronto and they are both identicals.

Never had any problem and they ran all firmware version perfectly including the latest RC2.

 

mine ak2i is HW:81 SVN:824

 

The 2 in my possession are the same. I'm going to safely assume, that the 4 that I gave as presents are the same since they came all at the same time from the same place.

 

IMHO - I would call it 'black'
Well that's what I'm calling my Ak2i & that's one of the 'older' versions

I just received this exact one from gamekool.com today. Works perfectly.
