ROM Hack Akaio RC1 HG/SS Problems

[yusuo]

I've just bought a Acekard especially for akaio and pokemon support (as well as others) ditching my r4 to be able to do this.
I just wanted to know what problems still exist with the game does it work 100%, does wifi work, are we still getting random freezes, what problems exist with the game, I only want people reporting who have acekards with akaio v1.6rc1 and havent had cheats activated.
If problems do exist this may help normmatt and others rectify certain problems and keep akaio being one of the best frimwares out there

I've heard HG/SS works for 95% of the time on the AKAIO 1.6RC1. In others words very well playable

I have only 2 gym badges at the moment, but i have not had any problems so far, so all is good here.

Freezes occasionally, but completely randomly.

What We Think We Know

OMG WHEN WILL THE WORKING PATCH BE OUT?
As soon as the people working on it stop being spammed and can concentrate for long enough to find one.

RARELY CRASHING DOES NOT MEAN WORKING PERFECTLY.
THOSE "RANDOM" CRASHES TYPICALLY FOLLOW THE 24 EVENT PATTERN.

CURRENTLY WORKING:
(These do have occassional freezes.)

Acekards work most of the time.
CycloDS.
Latest version of Desmume can play the game.
No$GBA has a fix which makes the game playable.

CODETHE PROBLEM:

- We do not know specifically how this AP works.
- The Open on No$Zoomer or simply press F12.
6. Open your game again. RESET function won't work, as you will get a rom image crash.
7. Choose your game just like you would do it on a real DS.

*For no$gba to recognize a save, the save must be in the "BATTERY" folder.[/code]

PEOPLE WORKING ON A FIX:

- M3 Team
- R4 Ultra Team
- Supercard Team
- Xenophobia (Maybe)
- Many Forums
- ...and countless others.

Another great recap post.

Something wrong? Something new? PM Olly to add it.

Battling Brock with 11 gym badges, working fine.

Though from the Elite 4 to Sabrina last night it was working fine, until I went to go do what I'm doing now. I managed to walk into the Pewter Gym only to have it hang in blackscreen with music going. Same freeze as everyone else... just completely random.

Thinking about it.... I did explore a little, could beating Sabrina have activated the event counter? ...Something did. Something is still telling the game to kill itself even on Akaio 1.6.

Works fine for me, though i've only played for 40minutes.

I have two badges & have played for a long time. I've only encountered one black screen and one freeze but I do not believe either of those events are based on AKAIO. I got the black screen after I dropped my DS on the carpet while tying my shoe and I just happen to be leaving a Pokemon Center when it dropped... I got the freeze while playing at the park on a picnic table which had an uneven surface, rattling the DS as I pressed buttons. Both events contribute the Acekard temporarily loosing contact with the DS which caused both these malfunctions.

When the patch is released, will it most likely work with AKAIO 1.5.1? I've been having some problems with 1.6 (namely nothing working at all—it seems to be a problem with my microSD card, but since everything works fine on 1.5.1 I'm staying there for now).

Your AK is a clone. Buy a new one. Plus the game works on AKAIO 1.5.1 anyway. (I think)

Or I'm wrong and its your mSD.

You didn't try to update wirelessly, did you?

 

[Dangy]

I thought RC1 made SS/HG work 100%.

I thought RC1 made SS/HG work 100%.

I'm pretty sure its 100%, I've hardly seen any reports of it freezing.

I've never had any problems with my Acekard, and everything has worked perfectly. I bought it last April, 2009, and it's an Acekard 2i. Someone else told me it was a clone, but according to this page from the Acekard website the clones have the 'window' with the Actel chip. I peeled back the sticker on mine and it's not there. Also, since everything has been working perfectly for almost a year this makes me think it's real.

Anyway when I'm on 1.6 almost every rom boots to a white screen, and the ones that don't freeze not too far into the game. The only exceptions are the Phoenix Wright games which freeze when saving the game, which corrupts the saves. I've tried formatting the microSD card and erasing everything and all kinds of things but nothing seems to make 1.6 work. So I'm just staying on 1.5.1 where everything is fine. I'm using the Japanese SS rom with an English translation patch, and the game freezes and goes to a black screen after hitting Continue when I try my save file from the Japanese rom on the English rom. It does recognize it though, and it shows my Pokédex info and the number of badges.

Sorry if I went off topic here and gave way too much information…

No, I didn't update wirelessly. I just replaced the __aio folder and akmenu4.nds on my microSD card. Is that what I'm supposed to do?

EDIT: Oops, sorry for the double post.

Yup!

I read the post above that stated the game runs about 95% fine on no$gba with a fix. So, what fix are we talking about? Can anyone direct me to it. The way there are all sorts of different information makes it very hard to actually bump into the interesting stuff.

Thanks in advance, guys.

going off topic much burucchi, search the other forums about that, this is about acekard and pokemon
