Hacking AKAIO v1.4 released

[ConJ]

Thanks, but it still happens with DragonQuest V And Geometry Wars. It seems to be, when i enable the cheats in the game menu.

Ensure that you're using the same save file extension in 1.4 as you did in 1.3

Yes i checked this.
and i tried an untrimmed version of the rom... with no luck. but i noticed that the safegame was some bytes to long. the extra bytes were added by my supercard ds one.
but after converting the savegames into raw format nothig changed.
akaio version 1.3 did work with the converted and the "to long" savgame.
i olso tried another SDcard with no success

I've foudn the in-game load times on everything to be slower on this release. Not just the initial load, but any transition scene. I reverted to 1.3. And no, I don't have money to go buying every type of SD card to "test" my performance with. I'm using a Transcend class 6 8 GB and that's what I will continue to use. The load times of 1.4 don't cut it for me so I'm back to using 1.3.

I can confirm that the initial loading seems somewhat slower than the official firmware anyway, using the official loader seems to fix it.

unlike the 3-in-1, SDHC is a well defined and documented standard. sorry to rain on your parade.

well as i open my umbrella… the information being out there means nothing if they don't have the hardware to test with. the original 3-in-1 code was ported over from sources smiths had received. he did not have a working unit so he was unable to fix any problems or test revisions. as soon as he received the working kit the 3-in-1 support was tweaked and upgraded. so again i will say that it would be a good idea to get one of them (norm probably) a 16gb sdhc so that support can be added if it indeed it is missing from akaio.

@Diosoth: what type of load time are you seeing? are you talking about directory loading or rom loading? i have the same msd and the load time seems the same to me. my 3gb directory loads in about 3 seconds and roms load in 1-3 seconds. are you finding the load time to be much longer?

AKAIO fails to support 16G SD. -.-

As others have said, Without one for testing its hard to fix. Report it to acekard they should be able to test it and hopefully fix it if its not a hardware issue.

Slower load times is because I didn't change the carts latency settings from their default in this release, I've since reverted this change for other reasons in 1.4.1 which will be out soon.

Not hardware issue. My 16G SD work very well on DSTT.

The DSTT and the AceKard uses different hardware. Mainly Normmatt was referring to the hardware on the flashcart that reads the data from the MicroSD card.

Nevermind, found the TWEWY fix after posting.

Dragon Quest V doesn't work for me in AKAIO 1.4. But using the latest AK loader it does work.

In AKAIO it just resets as soon as the title screen appears.

I tried both DMA and non DMA, and with and without the latest cheat database protection code enabled.

The latest AKAIO forces DS Phat to backlight on, I always turn off my backlight in the DS menu and play a game, now it turns on whenever I do, it kills the battery quicker

Also the start menu doesn't minimize when I press a button, it minimize when it's touchscreen though

The System options looks cleaner too

The hardware itself might not support above 8GB SDHC cards, I assume it would but as I've said I do not have a 16GB microSDHC for testing, so please report this to acekard as they should be able to get a 16GB card and confirm weather it works or not and fix it if it doesnt.

Both of these have just been fixed.

Will the next version of AKAIO add compatibility fix for Dragon Quest V?
