Hacking AKAIO completely fails...

ak+ didnt do to owell as it took a whole new from the bottom approach of running everything and homebrew, or dldi in particular wasnt working nearly at all. now, my question....can you adjust which FAT format and allocation size you want with panasonic formatter, cause im not seeing those options

heheh, I take it you using the AKRPG SD loader code? if so i'm supprised it works on the ak2 at all. The saving certainly wouldn't not sure about roms though. If its your own patching code, Congrats.

I'm not quite that ambitious, my asm knowledge is barely enough to recognize the commands in the asm gelu has been working on. I was indeed quite surprised to see it load anything (all I did really was change up the RPG stuff to use a dldi instead of the normal RPG only inits/code), as far as I can tell with the RPG loader even homebrew is going to be broken on ak2.

The commands used to read sectors on the ak2 are virtually (are) the same as on the akrpg sd so homebrew should work as long as the detection code is fixed. there are some very small differences i've noticed but other than those the code for reading and writting to the ak2 is already in the akbbs sources.

The Acekard+ never got around in the international scene but there are still alot of people from asia who use ak+'s which i'd like to support.

That is exactly what i love about open source software... awesome folks like Norm supporting the few! so... Thanks!

I've always been a packrat and have been hunting for one of those original Acekard+ cards just to play with.

No, but I don't think you need to do that. The SDFormatter "optimizes" your card (formats with the best settings).
