Hacking AKAIO 1.3rc1 released

[ShadowXP]

probably a bit of a n00bish question here but I'm using the internal name display system and all of my Japanese games are titled ??????? etc., am I doing something wrong or is this just how it is for now?

This is the default behavior, but with the new utf-8 conversion you can actually make this work.

1) Go to the lang_en directory and rename the language.txt file to language.old.
2) Copy everything in lang_jp to lang_en and overwrite everything.
3) Go back to the lang_en directory and delete the language.txt file.
4) Rename the language.old file to language.txt
5) Edit language.txt and change these lines
main = wenquanyi_9pt.pcf
language = 3

Now the internal names will show up properly, and the main menu items will still be in English. You get some minor font issues when you go into the rom details but its liveable. Of course I have no idea what doing this might screw up otherwise, since I don't use the firmware much more than to load whatever game I'm currently addicted to.

Thanks a lot for the update.

Just a question. Bleach 2 (J & U) save problems, cannot be fixed with AKAIO, right? (I mean, we should wait for an official FW update?)

Thx for you efforts!!

I hope it's fixable by our benevolent akaio overlords, the saving problems with this game are pretty much my only problem with the ak2 - I actually have the game and can just play it that way (or with my M3 Real...but who wants to do that,LOL) but once it works on the ak2, all shall be awesome.

Worked for everything i played, the only bug i found is that some of my saves were ignored and were overwritten.

Despite that, this is an awesome release, i love the shorter loading times and the smother navigation.

Keep up the good work!

everything is good, except when u press x the cheat menu should come out instead of pressing y then cheats, then select to save
the save button should be on the cheat menu also

As mentioned before. X is used on the RPG. So it's Y (rom info).

You know, i've had this retarded debate before with people who have fat thumbs and hate pressing two buttons.
I put the cheat button in the rom info window to shut people up, mapped it to "Select", and made it so you just scroll through.

i know some people are touch screen users, but you make it sound like you use your hands. therefore, i'm just calling "lazy"

ROM -> Y -> SELECT -> [select cheats] -> START

go to the gym if that wears you out

 

[DaMummy]

does this mean no support on my sansa?

Er, after installing the new AKAIO on my AK2, I faced a crippling problem.

It loads perfectly to the normal MicroSD, Slot-2 Card, etc part, but usually when I am greeted by a nice Full Metal Alchemist skin. Instead there is no skin and all I can see is the fonts. I'm not sure what happened, but I'll see if deleting all my skins works o.o

 

[VatoLoco]

The 'uiName' in the globalsettings.ini needs to be edited so that it recognizes your skin.

uiName = FullMetalAlchemist (or whatever the skins name is)

If you close your lid and reopen it the backlight will stay turned off.

this requires fixing guys.

thanks.

It has been fixed according to the bug tracker. It's more about AKAIO properly waking up, rather than just the backlight. You'll need to wait for the next release to see the fix, though. Also, it's been said before but I'll say it again. If you have a bug, you should post it to the bug tracker at akaio.gbatemp.net.

i doubt the team will release any fix for it...
they are concentrating on newer games and DSi as well and forgetting the old ones...

I searched over the forum, and seems the problem has been around for a while, and seems they aren't gonna fix it or they can't (I mean the official team, reported several times... some people also e-mailed them and still no fix

). Seems there are some other old save/bug problems with the official fw that never got fixed (seems they're a bit lazy), so, I'm loosing hope on it.

Also, according to this http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=110459&hl=bleach seems Normmatt couldn't workout the problem. So, I hope the AKAIO team can look to it once more. Of course, this isn't a urgency (at least for me), as I can play for now with my old trusty SC.

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Good idea, tried, didn't work. Backed everything up and formatted.

Problem solved.

I like the improved GUI. Lookin' sharp. Keep up the classy work Smiths, Normatt and crew =)

if there's one thing we don't have, it's class.
but thanks!

l;atest build has support for unicode font in internal name, so no more ????????, it just loaded unicode font at startup and uses it if the rom needs it. future support will probably be for definitng the "custom font" in a skin's ini file (?if not there, just use default like the rominfo window).

this post contains drunk content.
happy new year

 

[Narin]

The new beta build is awesome. The unicode support works very well.
