- Updated Wirelessly! (choose Loader Update in Wifi Update option of Start Menu)
- Small changelog, download, update all possible
- Loaders only updated for card being used (e.g. - AK2 users only download ak2loader)
- Resume supported
- Many loaders are beta, know this and shut up
- Manual download page @ http://akaio.gbatemp.net/loaders/
+ Wifi Cheat Update has resume support!

- Enable/Disable the Universal Sleep Hack for GBA games
- Blank NOR button added for quick erase

- Thanks to all donators!
+ Fixed some issues with the cheat window.
- Folders that only allow one cheat selected now function properly
- Separate icon for skinners for single-select folders (see included skins)
+ Animal Crossing cheats on AK2. (Use the v1.1 rom as v1.0 will not work anymore).
+ Unicode font loads on a per-ROM basis
- Default font is "kochi-mincho-subst.pcf" in /__aio/fonts directory, old unicode font removed (was 2x the size)
- Skinners may add their own custom font to their ui's directory
- New line in uisettings.ini "customUnicodeFont = xxxxxx.pcf" will load that font instead of default
+ Ability to hide extensions by manually adding "hideExtension = 1" to globalsettings.ini
+ DMA mode on AK2 (Hold A while loading a game to use non-DMA mode: Red text = DMA / Blue text = non-DMA).
+ New Super Mario Brothers Minigames on AK2: If they don't work, set Download Play to "Disabled" and boot in non-DMA mode (hold down A while loading)
+ Misc bug fixes (Too many to list).

Apparently Smiths did a shocking job on packaging up this release, version number in the help window is still rc2 and there are no loaders in this rar. I'll upload a new rar shortly which will address these issues.

EDIT: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4593 fixed release.

 

[Shadow#1]

The Start> Help menu says "v1.3rc2" and not "AKAIO 1.3 Final"


Thanks for the awesome loader!

 

[Normmatt]

Anyone who downloaded the first rar please redownload the rar from http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4593 as Smiths didn't package it up properly.

When i went into the wifi updater and did the download latest ak loader it downloaded it but instead of them being put in "akloader" folder they got put in a new folder called "loaders" and i had to move them to "akloader" folder for akaio to see them so i could select them

Yes it works, it just has a white screen for like 4 seconds after that it loads perfectly fine.

hey, great! one question: what is the official release this is based on? are there all fixes inside, that are in the official release 4.14?

They download the loaders to the loaders folder because they are the internal (well external but still default AKAIO loaders) moving them to the ak2loader folder is pointless and a waste of space.

QUOTE(moviecut @ Jan 22 2009, 08:36 PM) hey, great! one question: what is the official release this is based on? are there all fixes inside, that are in the official release 4.14?

This is based on 4.07 with the DMA code from 4.12 and contains ALOT more fixes than the official firmware, you can't even compare the two anymore.

 

[Shadow#1]

oops

3268 works now perfectly for me!


Thank you so much for this awesome update!

Did the key combo for soft reset change? It was L+R+B+A+Down right?

I tried in a couple games but nothing happened.

It's still the same "u have to enable it in the patches menu"

Thank You normatt and smiths. AKAIO makes me happy that I have an AK2. You guys rock.

May i ask how to change font in uisettings.ini ? I use Traditional Chinese.
I put wenquanyi_9pt.pcf in Adv.EvoR folder and edit Adv.EvoR/uisettings.ini to add "customUnicodeFont = wenquanyi_9pt.pcf"
But AKAIO still load default font.
I edit lang-zh/language.ini and add below

[font]
main = wenquanyi_9pt.pcf
language = 2

still not work.

What shell I do? Thank you very much for all of this.

That font is hardcoded to be locked out, it is too large and causes memory issues.
