The bump on the AK2i has been removed. The new AK2i's have promblems with AKAIO like not launching your games with saves and not launching the AK at all. It is recommended you use the normal firmware from www.acekard.com. I call this new release batch the AceKardv2.1i!

ADi7 is right, I bought two (2) AceKard 2i from DealExtreme, both arrived a couple of days ago. I installed AKIO 1.4.1 by extracting zip downloadable from gbatemp server, I placed '__aio' folder along with 'akmenu4.nds' file on the root of my SanDisk 8GB Class 4, formatted to FAT32, 4/32KB cluster size, and it fails to load any back-ups, un-trimmed.

Loader itself is working fine, displays everything I have on the card but as soon as I press 'A' or tap on a game icon, 'Loading' text appears on the bottom screen, after 1 sec, the 'Loading' text turns green and goes NOT go any further.

I have even tried to press & hold 'X' button upon loading a back-up, this in result turns 'Loading' text into red but does not load either.

Do I have no choice but to use official kernel now?

Exactly what happened to me!! Also, lots of other users are reporting this problem (E.G, OzModChips)!!!

Also, "More spam, these new versions work fine on AKAIO with latest loaders." Wrong!! IN YOUR FACE NORMMATT!

EDIT: I also have an 8gb card! Maybe it's a problem with the SD card??

Micro SD cards won't affect how the card works as long as it's fast enough to be read/written to. I've gotten AKAIO working properly. ADi7, I love how you don't know how to search and made an account just to start a thread. The bump has not been removed, just feel along the front of the card and you will feel a slight indentation. Also, AKAIO works fine for me. Make sure you have all the loaders, you should have 3. I'm not sure if the Wifi plugin affects it but get that too. Properly format your micro SD. You can get all of this here: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/AKAIO#Links.

Actually...the newest batch from DX, I just got mine in, has NO bump whatsoever...prefectly smooth. Pressed down as hard as I could (without putting too much pressure lol, dont wanna break the thing) and it has no sign of a bump at all. I have the original AK2 with a big bump, an original AK2i with a little bit trimmed bump and now theyve finally gotten rid of it completely...works perfect too.

Also, yes the loaders here -- http://akaio.gbatemp.net/loaders/ -- fixed this EXACT problem my brother had with his, games would show up on the card...go to load them and then they either froze or wouldnt load. I told him to throw that loader on his card and it works like new now.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
