Thanks to all for feedback and bug reports with 1.3b1. Many, if not all of those problems, have been addressed in this latest release:

QUOTE said:
AK-AIO 1.3
+ Added Some of Gelu's patches:
- Faster Directory Listing.
- New List mode - Internal nds names.
- Lots of Soft Reset Fixes for the AKRPG.
- new DMA mode and BBDX save fix for the AKRPG.
- font system (fully supports unicode now

).
- New FIFO IPC System (Behind the scenes stuff).
- Massive amount of soft reset fixes mainly for the AKRPG.
- Some game fixes (Brain Age 2 (K), Chrono Trigger).
- Softreset fixes relating to mic usage.
NOTE: because of new font system, language files now need to be utf8. Some have been converted such as English and Japanese but others will need to be saved as utf8 to work properly.
+ Added a few game related fixes.
+ Japanese games now show Japanese characters in rom info window when language isnt set to Japanese (causes a sec or so lag when opening rom info window).
+ Files are now sorted alphabetically (Forced at the moment, sorry).
+ Loaders are now external and can be updated separately to the GUI.
+ Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum can now read saves for R/S/E/FR/LG from ewin and 3in1 (AK2 Only for now).
+ Cheat engine fixes, namely backlight codes now fully work (AK2 and AKRPG only for now).
+ Optimizations all around (Shouldn't have any lag in GUI anymore).
+ Italian language added, Spanish language updated.
+ New 3in1 options window.
+ Show gba internal name in Internal view mode.
+ 3in1 internal GBA rom header stuff and work on Save/Load prompts in 3in1 options window.
- Enable/Disable saving 3in1 SRAM on startup (Enabled by default)
- Enable/Disable prompting before saving/loading SAVSRAM
- Enable/Disable the Universal Sleep Hack for GBA games
- Thanks to all donators!

Reformatted my microSD card, dropped the new AKAIO beta on it without any other files, and I got a "Loading" message immediately followed by two black screens. The globalsettings.ini file was never created.

The official menu seems to work fine, as does AKAIO 1.2.

My post was pretty late in the previous thread, but the one issue I've found with my AK2 and AKAIO 1.3 is the DS forgetting it's in Auto Mode every other time I turn it on. I set it in the menu, the DS shuts off, I turn it back on and it auto-loads the AK2. Then if I turn it off and on again, it goes back to the DS menu instead. Not a HUGE issue though...

The Auto Mode that you can choose in the DS's native menu. If it detects a DS cart, it loads that instead of going to the DS's menu every time. So as soon as you get past the Health and Safety screen, it loads the AK2. Right now it's loading the AK2 the first time after I set the option, then it seems to forget after that, and I have to set it every other time I power on the DS.

Awesome work guys, thanks for all the hard work you do getting AKAIO purring>

I just noticed (of course I would) that commercial roms with custom icons (line rider) shows all the proper info in the 'Y' button properties. Very nice

bri you ak is sucking lately, wtf? grab your old globalsettings file and put it with new loader or something

I tried copying over the old globalsettings.ini but it didn't make a difference. I'm guessing it's crashing before it reaches the point where it reads or creates that file.

Since I only have problems with AKAIO beta (it works just fine with the official menu and AKAIO 1.2) and there's nothing at all unusual about my setup (NDS Lite, black PCB AK2.1+, Japanese Kingston 2GB microSD), I suspect that others will have the same problems.

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to use the official menu. That would suck.

Well, for some reason I couldn't get CoD:WaW working with AKAIO 1.3b1 OR the official firmware, but now it works. WOOO! AKAIO wins, so very hard.

same ques again
..did anyone tried Bleach Dark Souls?? Still corrupted save??

If it's still corrupting your saves, then something weird is going on because mine is the same case as with M3 Sakura - won't corrupt the save, it just won't alter the save file in any way.

Also, for AK2 users, what does this add, necessarily?

i got a problem.
Every time i reset the ds(not the acekard RPG) it always changes the brightness level to the highest setting.
it's happened with all the previous beta firmwares, but not with AKAIO 1.2

Please return AKAIO1.2 a Japanese font.
A Japanese font of AKAIO1.3 begins to be seen from the frame and cannot be displayed correctly.


AKAIO1.3 cannot display the cheat in Japanese.
There was no problem in AKAIO1.2.

Just like the bliss farm that hopes for the thing that a Japanese font can be freely chosen.

Please help.
Japanese user representative.

Thank you!!

to Post #18
This was because support UTF-8
And if you want to see ascii font in cheat menu that you must convert r4.dat to xml file
That was the only way that I've tried and displayed...

You're kidding right? The moment I installed b1 (which I didn't take the cart out for, just the SD), my cart suddenly got dirty? This isn't some random occurrence, it's repeatable. Set to Auto, it auto-loads. Next time, and every other time after that, it doesn't auto-load until I set it to Auto again. The DS reads the cart info fine. I can simply hit A at the DS menu and load the AK2. Something is different in the betas. I'll even go back and install 1.2 right now to confirm this.

Edit: Confirmed. Beta is causing the problem. I'm still gonna use it though because it's just that awesome

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