Hacking AKAIO 1.3b2

[spiritos]

One thing I wanted to say:
Smiths, Normatt (and Bliss too...is he still alive?):
Guys, you rule! keep up the good work, been using b2 for the past 2 days,
works great

 

[dib]

Heh.

FYI, Bliss is not involved in AIO. It's probably just as well not to mention that again.

 

[spiritos]

I know that, but if I remeber correctly some of his code is in...or am I mistaken? :/

We supported the M3 GBA? I didn't know that.

And soft-reset for exploader isn't our problem.

He means that the M3 GBA and all the other slot 2 cards aren't supported by AKAIO currently and that GBA EXploader is needed to use them which doesn't work in in the latest AKAIO beta. So any other Slot 2 card other than the EZ 3 in 1 has no support in AKAIO.

Half-true - GBA games still work in ExpLoader, the ability to use the ram in the expansion is unavailable because akaio 1.3's aknenu4.nds is apparently different enough that exploader won't let you reboot to the menu anymore with ram enabled. Not that huge of a deal for me as I don't really use it all that much, but still something I found interesting.

Pretty sure Smiths and Normatt would have scrapped all of that, out of spite if not utility.

LOL, what black cat ran there? I know that he quit for some reason, meh.. actually who cares? (don't want to start people on flame wars here)
just wanted to express my gratitude...no offense to anyone...bleh

Everyone forgets gelu...

 

[spiritos]

Everyone forgets gelu...

true...sorry, he was responsible for some plugins.

No! Gelu is the person behind the AKRPG support and behind many compatibility fixes.

 

[seren]

Gelu is the man that's keeping the AK:RPG alive !

 

[Smiths]

gelu is awesome. but he hates cheats

bliss code is still there, but there's been a lot of cleanups.

the RAM thing... sorry. Maybe rudolph can fix soft-reset

 

[bigwind]

BTW, with the 1.3b2, it seems to have broken the soft-reset for ExpLoader and the M3 GBA expansion so the RAM can't be used with homebrew and/or the web browser. I should just buy that damn EZ-Flash expansion already, LOL

use official ak2_sd.dldi(3,796bytes) can fix this

Huh. That did work, awesome, didn't think it would be a DLDI issue. Bonus points for you!

I'm not entirely surprised, I've changed alot in the dldi file since 1.2, I've removed alot of crap and tried to improve speed. I think I've fixed the problem in the latest build though.

 

[carterman]

Ah, OK. I noticed the 'official' DLDI file and the AKAIO DLDI file were different sizes. It works fine with a manual patch and NoAutoPatch applied to the file though. Awesome if you got it working in the next build though

I wonder if its possible to enable/disable cheats in-game? It is quite a hassle to restart the game just to disable/enable some cheats.

 

[carterman]

Try the M3 Real for that, there's an option to switch cheats on/off in game.

ouch...sorry for that

never used the AK:RPG was a cool thing at the time though.

Start+select+up enables cheats, start+select+down disables them.

Heh. You learn something new everyday.
