[go185]

So, does anyone know of a place besides bamboogaming to buy an RPG?

I would like to know too

Please be patient ... Currently we are negotiating and shipping orders to other online stores.

I doubt other companies will follow with open source.

Why did Acekard team do it? Simple. Unique hardware structure. Unless a company comes out with a card that has microSDHC, nand, and USB, the team doesn't have to worry about the biggest problem most card teams have to worry about: people stealing and modifying their open source code.

As for the card it's self, I probably won't consider getting one unless I start to see some interesting features, mostly if the homebrew community sticks to the possibilities that the usb port can provide (such as usb keyboard on DSlinux).

Just my thoughts

we should really appreciate developers monitoring forums like this, especially for an open source card

At this point, I'll probably buy this thing as long as it's under 75 bucks. I haven't checked the code yet, but I'm sure Id be able to do a bit with it, though probably nothing useful.

 

[iwakura]

at bamboo gaming it IS under 75 USD.

also, for those of you who are reluctant, I'm really loving this card.

 

[go185]

I cannot wait till its available at a site like gamersection so I can order it and buy it (cause bamboogaming doesnt allow for purchasing via debit/credit directly)

Looks alright, but no soft reset is a bitch.

yea

It's shit for download play though, isn't it?
The USB port's the best feature?

 

[bollocks]

according to some posts on their forum, they know the problem with download play and they're looking into it. as for soft reset, it's also something they plan to add in future. or so they say. of course flash cart manufacturers will always claim to be working on any feature someone inquires about, whether they'll actually sort it out or not is another matter.

No and No obviously.

The Acekard is great with everything, it runs smoothly, and everything works fine. To me the BEST feature is Copy and Paste.

$85AUD, given todays exchange rate at xe.com (other exchange rates put it a lot higher since banks charge a few cents on the dollar more overhead to do the exchanges)...
85.00 AUD=73.5072 USD (I expect using real payment exchange rates it would be just over $75USD)
Shipping is an additional $12AUD (mail) or $30AUD (express), or 10.38/25.95USD, either putting the total well over 75USD. At least bamboo is shipping the original case with this one.

I for one will wait to see if kickgaming or other reliable Canada/NA resellers decide to stock AK before making any decision to buy or pass by.

 

[Jhongerkong]

I would like to see that DS GAME INFO Box and I'll buy one AK R.P.G.!!

You know the Box like in R4!! Please do it some talented developers!!

if someone put that in, id buy an acekard

Why do people say stupid shit like this? I think it was you who said something like it in another thread. Not everyone knows how to program and such. Open source shouldn't be a free "get out of work" ticket for the Acekard team. They should at least provide the basics, and then let people customize and build upon it.

If you can't do it, get someone else to do it. It isn't that hard. When I get my Acekard from the post office on Monday, I'll add everything that any other flashcart can do. It won't be THAT hard.

they got too many things sticking out of that cart
