open source
is the most important point of akrpg

hope ak really release all codes, not lying

does the slot-1 device act as a sdhc reader if you plug it in with the sd card inside?
i'm guessing not

and the copy and paste function is useless, no one is going to use it, it's impractical, just do it on the computer, it's probably faster too

No it does not.

Yes. Minty fresh for 24 hrs! Helps fight gum disease too.

can link with Wii?

There is one thing we wanna clarify that the menu for AK RPG is still debugging for enhancement requestment change and it seems we send a wrong version of menu to gbatemp. But the base function of the menu has passed load test.
We'll send a stable and fast version of the loader again. (Already sent via email)
Thank you.

 

[AlBa]

Send me one too =)

Looks great!

I have a feeling that this thing will rock when the firmware polished enough.

I quite like the dual savelist and autopatch idea if it works like I think it does (with autopatch there for when the savelist screws up or is not there).
What are the sizes of saves by the way and as far as you can tell are they the RAW format (or a nominal tweak like the R4) that the rest of the flash cart world uses?

As for the "poor" show, I agree it is pretty much sink or swim from the start right now (there have been and are several great cards already) although in my opinion lack of download play, cheats and soft reset does not affect things for me.

 

[Mawile]

well. if the operating system is fully opensource, can i look at it? (an INI file with settings does not mean opensource) by the way, where is it kept on the card and how much space does it takes?
what functions are accessible from it's core?... may i use USB port in a way, i want?.. may i change it to be a host? may i access to rom boot procedures and change them? what programming language does it understand? may i directly access to the flashcard's filesystem? and to memory card's filesystem?
i don't really believe, it can be fully opensource... though it would be great)

 

[stop_loading]

can you be more specific about loading rom and interface, how sluggish is it compared to R4/cycloDS?

it seems to me cyclo still held the crown, with buggy software and etc, but hopefully all those things are fixed by being open source

 

[flai]

Looks flimsy to me, do download play or cheat support and NO SOFT RESET?! WTF AceKard team, 8 months in the making for what?!

 

[Gnat]

So wait, this card has built in memory like that Xtreme card and a micro sd slot like most others? Or is it a bit like with the gba EZ3 that loads roms from its slow memory to the faster one?

 

[webjedi]

In todays world of CycloDS and R4 with download play - anybody coming out with a new product better have it or forget it.

 

[acekard]

About the open source, we'll releas all code inlclude menu, system, rom loader, IO interface and so on. You can do anything with these. And we'll release it as soon as we finish clarification of our code.

We're sure that it'll explore more potential of AK RPG.

You can send a email to acekard#gmail.com with key word in tittle of "Ak RPG Development" if you wanna develop on AK RPG or you have some good ideas about it.

Thank you.

Shaunj66,

can you use the usb to flash directly to the MicroSD?
can you copy games from the internal flashram to MicroSD?

I think that'd be all I need to know

looks good, there's a new R4 coming out also in case anyone is wondering.

 

[jester.hussler]

I would like to say that the loader speed and Download Play will be fixed on the next loader release. Furthermore Action Replay will be released soon.

- I was told this by the AceKard team

 

[Maikel Steneker]

OK... So on the hardware side it's great, but on the software side it's pretty broken.

Normally, this cart would be very bad. But it does become open source... I'll wait and see how big the community will become, and then I'll maybe buy one.

They should have made good software to begin with themselves...

 

[T-hug]

Think ima stick with my M3 Simply & M3 Lite. I don't see the point in new cards if they don't actually bring anything new lol.

 

[flai]

It is also has a crap GUI, I want something simple and functional, not too much to ask. This is anything but simple. Hope a dev changes it cause if it doesn't get fixed, my money's staying with me.

Any website confirming what you're saying ?
