AKAIO 1.8.6a

[gbatempfan1]

Does the release ship with the latest version of akaio loader? Or do you still need to download that separately from acekard's website?

The reason that I ask is that I pulled the the latest from http://akaio.net/loaders/ but the file is different from what is shipped with 1.8.6.
The file at the loaders URL is outdated, do not use it.
Normatt prefers to just release a new firmware instead of releasing loaders now, it's a lot less confusing.

now that akaio features loader updates again, we will consider this.

Perhaps one of the akaio updates made it hard to change loaders but that issue is gone. They have been updating the loaders several times a month now.

http://akaio.net/loaders/011311/ "Norm fixes some more games on AK2(i). I LIKE MONSTER TRUCKS!"
http://akaio.net/loaders/011711/ "You play with your Pokemon underground? You need serious help. Come into the light."
http://akaio.net/loaders/021311/ "Fixed broken AAP in previous update."
http://akaio.net/loaders/021711/ "Fix various regressions."
http://akaio.net/loaders/030611/ "These loaders come with 1.8.6a"

When something doesn't work I try several different loaders.
(As Hakoda says below using loaders from different release can cause lockups, I think it has to do with keeping them from running on clones,forgot to mention that, thanks).

Also I generally wait a week after a release because while the testers they do have probably catch a lot of stuff, simple things like trying on older cards and testing out soft reset issues somehow keep slipping by. I appreciate their efforts, but I think they really need to have more public betas.

Woke up this morning to find my release thread closed. D9K is right of course, the Mods just have more power to make the information easier to get access to.

Plus, I was asleep when they released the fix.

Now that will cause you problems. This will only work if the loaders were released with the same AKAIO version you're running. So if you're running AKAIO 1.8.6a, only 1 loader version will work for you. If you mismatch loaders (AKAIO 1.8.5 loaders on 1.8.6a), you will get a hang on "Loading" when you boot a ROM.

I've a question: Will the Akaio team release the 1.8.6a for the slower SD card? Or is it implemented on the 1.8.6 already?
Its integrated because I have a slow MicroSD and its works fine.

The German ones are not fixed.

If you're sure you're running the latest AKAIO and its not working then shoot him up a message on IRC or the bug forums on AKAIO.net. You're correct, the release numbers for the German games are not listed.

Yeah, did that yesterday when 1.8.6 came out. Kinda forgot to post it before the new AKAIO. :/
Luckily I got a SCDS2 to play it for now.

Posted by a day old account called Rhydian not Rydian and is 4 mb zip instead of 2mb rar. I'll let somebody try this out first as it looks way to suspicious.....

Probably a fake, you should report it.

its not real. user was a fake as was whatever the hell was in that file. no sense in even checking, just click delete and be done with it.

looks like 85 people grabbed the file, i recommend that they delete it without opening it.

Here's how you can tell if an AKAIO is fake. If it's posted anywhere other than the Temp front page or the AKAIO forums, it's fake.

If it's a major release (like Wood or AKAIO) and it is NOT uploaded by "Rydian" or "Another World" then don't trust it.
If it's a major release that is HIGHER than the announced update then it is almost assuredly a fake.

Follow those two rules and you'll never run into problems.

Radiant Historia is not fixed on the fly right? Here it only loads the save with AAP activated.

I Agree. I don't want to do that. Of course. I just want my Akaio.
