Hacking AKAIO v1.0 Officially Released

[Normmatt]

I'd have to say that the save type unknown is the cause, on the rpg i really need to implement a save file check and if it exists to get the save size and set the save type correctly. This will probably be in AKAIO 1.1 whenever that gets released.

 

[dib]

That would make things easy but what happens if+when a save type doesn't previously exist? When I have some more time I'll check through some games to see if manually setting save type will keep the saves.

 

[Normmatt]

If a save doesnt exist it should fall back to auto

AKAIO plays DSM video

It looks pretty cool... Though the file sizes are pretty big

That's the problem with most other formats -- they tend to be larger file sizes. I wonder if there's a standalone DPG player that could be made into a plug-in for AIO.

From what I've been told, the Acekard team are merging Bliss' code into the official release (ohhh hell no) which means i won't be using the official loader unless i absolutely have too. I will probably add something like external loader support like bliss did, as it means i dont have to release an update everytime the official loader is updated.

That would definitely be the way to go. I'll continue to use AIO because it will almost certainly have better features and a better menu layout than the official one, but it would be nice to be able to use the latest loader without you having to update AIO each time.

For some reasons, I can't seem to get it to work, I keep getting a blue top screen on start up, and it hangs with the 3 icons and the start button at the bottom screen. My AK2 is working perfectly when I rolled back to official or bliss firmware, anyone knows what goes wrong?

I think it's looking for a skin you don't have in the "__aio/ui" folder. Copy your old globalsettings.ini or look to see if it made a new one, and if so, manually change the skin to one that you have in the "__aio/ui" folder. Or just copy and paste this into a file (make sure you change the value of uiName to a skin that you have).

Why didn't people seem to have this sort of problem with the other loaders, considering the same exact thing happened if you executed them but lacked the designated skin under globalsettings.

It sounds like a good idea for a feature: detect the skin directory prior to loading it, if not default to whichever directory is first?

Doesn't work. Shouldn't be that because I have replaced the whole system folder with the one came in AIO zip.

I think it doesn't detect my __aio folder at all, I tried to remove it from the root and get the same result, I am using flashme, wonder if that is the problem...

 

[jaywilson]

i didnt like this Os
nothing major
just little things like X isnt to make cheats
you have to go into start>more->cheats..
and the windows were nearly the size of the screen
just minor prefreneces

 

[dib]

"just little things like X isnt to make cheats"
--the hell?

Name one video game where the X button was the main button. Please, just name one.

 

[jaywilson]

not in a game,

in the menu....

 

[Smiths]

not in a game,

in the menu....

to each their own man.. I didn't like having to hit X like 4 times to get to a cheat window myself.

Smiths(or Normatt), the firmware probably isn't compatible with flashed DS, can you please look into that? I can't find another reason why it isn't working here.

 

[Normmatt]

My firmware has been flashed since loopy first released flashme, I have had no problems what so ever.

maybe you could post us your globalsettings.ini. or, even better, you could compare the one you get with AKAIO and bliss' one. maybe this could help coders to investigate...

Doesn't matter really, I have tried replacing globalsettings.ini with the one provided by Bri, deleting the file, deleting the whole system directory and installed AIO from fresh, nothing helps, now the only thing left to do is reformatting my microsd, I guess.

Now that is really weird, I will try reformatting my microsd later, thanks for the confirmation though. :|

@ kellicros, I had a little trouble running AIO on my AK2. This is what I did
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=942...t&p=1270157

I usually have my SDHC fprmatted with the Panasonic formatter.

I couldnt get AIO to run utill I used the windows formatter on my card.

For some reason AIO doesnt like how Panasonic formats.

 

[jabjab]

i used panasonic formatter on adata 4gb and worked

Is there a possibility to add Filename-based external icon support ? i want to give my GBA Games and/or Homebrew a nice Icon like the NDS ones.

But still, great job. Will try it out as soon as i get my Acekard 2.
