What do you mean?they got too many things sticking out of that cart
Most people usually want to buy something that works out of the box. Not pay more for something that a cheaper product can already do PLUS more, on the pre-tense that "OMG I'll just programme it myself". Why bother? Get a good cart. in the first place.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.also, for those of you who are reluctant, I'm really loving this card.
It's shit for download play though, isn't it?
The USB port's the best feature?
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.
I thought I read something hear on GBATemp and Yoshi Touch and Go and that the RPG performs abysmally all around with Download Play and in that respect is a step back from previously released carts. Apart from the price, they haven't added much, have they?

Looks alright, but no soft reset is a bitch.
Just make it yourself. =/
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.
Lol hollabackitsobi... I've been gone for 3 days and I came back and you are still making posts like these... I don't think you understand that the AceKard RPG has been out for only a few days, and it has ALREADY seen a few updates. At the moment, sure it doesn't have some of the basic features, but it has some cool and really advanced features. Just give it some time...
They aren't "out of work", they are still working on it, they are still chatting with people like me, and they are still bouncing ideas off people. Open-source is just a bonus, they will probably keep supporting it, implementing some of the ideas other people make.
As for the cart, I have done my first impressions (you can check it on my signature), I have about a page or two worth of text, basically the gist of it is that it seems like a solid cart, it has some really cool stuff, and it is nice and easy to use, but for the moment, it is sad to see things like soft reset missing.
Your games will work, but the save games will not, however you can quickly change them later on I'm sure.
The saves work perfect for me.
Question:
If I take my R4 micro sd and put it in the AK, will all of the games work and will all of my save games be intact?
Saves will have to be converted. The acekard takes 64KB saves right now
$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)...at bamboo gaming it IS under 75 USD.
also, for those of you who are reluctant, I'm really loving this card.
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.
I guess since the card JUST came out, but still...after they were saying they had been working on it for 10 months and EVERYONE was hyping it up, I had to put it into perspective for everyone that the R4 and Cyclo were NOT dead or outclassed, and that this card might be even inferior.
But I know after this the fanboys will just yell "open source, open source!", when that doesn't instantly mean the features are there and they're at the whim of any developer who wants to take it on.
Well I'm not so sure about the R4, sure it is a low price and all, but do people really want to skimp on that extra $5 to get an inferior card? It seems most people are making that choice, which is really not well thought out.
The CycloDS Evolution completely destroyed the R4, not to mention that the R4 pretty much is useless now that they haven't fixed Worms Open Warfare 2, it is like a statement saying that in the future they will be slow to release updates, or maybe not at all...
Eh...I hope you're kidding Pharoah. For a guy that says he's impartial, you're being extremely biased. Of course now I'm looking to get a Cyclo and sell my R4, but having to fix ONE game out of thousands hardly kills a card. It's really only inferior in ONE way, Micro SDHC compatibility. Other than that and the touch screen GUI, they're the same. And just FYI, the Cyclo is about $10-15 more expensive at most stores, although I'm sure there are exceptions.
