AKAIO v1.6 RC1

[Anakir]

Stuck on loading screen (before I'm even able to access the files). I'll try reformatting my card and see if it has any problems. I didn't have this problem for AKAIO 1.5 or 1.51.

Edit: I have an AceKard 2.1 by the way. Bought it from DealExtreme quite a while ago. Maybe about 2 years ago? Don't really remember.

AW,

What's the likelihood of the save problems with HW80 Acekard 2.1 being fixed by future updates, either by AKAIO or the AK team?

I'm considering to just buy another cart from another company, if the chances are slim.

 

[Anakir]

How do you know what kind of AceKard 2.1 you have? I removed my sticker long ago because there was a huge scratch on it.. so am I out of luck?

 

[macgeek417]

Yesss!
I saw this last night and updated, and...
Speed improovments!

FFCC: Ring of Fates has better A/V sync on it's intro video, and Avalon Code's intro video doesn't have as many framerate issues.

Now if AceKard made an AceKard 3 and gave it the extra iPlayer hardware...

...I wouldn't need to updrade to an SCDS2 when it comes out!

Reformatting worked. Awesome stuff.

i'm not sure what you are talking about. i have no save problems. do you mean .SAV/.sav? thats a stupid bug that i'm sure will either get fixed or users will just have to rename their saves to lowercase.

if your talking about the 2.1s that shipped in december of 09 and have all the issues, probably never. team acekard has no idea what the problem is. they are aware of it, as is norm. your acekard has a 1yr warranty, so you should return it and try to get another. the 2i appears to not have these specific issues, but it does have contact and msd slot contact issues. just FYI.

norm really needs one of these "bad" 2.1s so he can start to test. care to donate it? PM him.

with all my beta testing i've had so many problems. sometimes a single nes rom won't load in nesds, other times a setting won't save, etc. but while those 1 things give me trouble everything else works just fine. my point?? its really easy for a tiny section of the msd to become corrupt. they weren't really designed to be used the way we are using them. we rip on them daily with homebrew and roms. formatting usually helps and is the first step in debugging.

glad its working for you.

from the testing we did the "messed-up" 2.1s which appeared to have shipped around december of 09 look the same as the other 2.1s. they have the same pcb, same sticker, same chips, and same hwID. which is why acekard told us they are not clones.

i gotta add my 2 cents to this thread....

homebrew soft-reset is friggen awesome.

Hello, thanks for the update!

Just one thing, can anyone try 2971/2906 Star Wars The Clone Wars Jedi Alliance on this release? I get black screens after selecting start (just before the opening cinema).

I just wanna know if it's related to my microSD brand (sandisk), because I have the same problem with 1.5.1. Works fine for me just with the official loader.

Thanks guys!

thats the old method for if you have an akrpg. with moonshell you can just navigate to the akmenu4.nds and run it, it will boot the firmware and thus "soft-reset" back to akaio.

-another world.
That's correct but I just have this weird tendency to make everything work the way its described. That way, the "Exit to Firmware" button would work properly even though my method is obsolete

Thank you again to Normatt, Smiths, AW, and the AKAIO Beta Team.

You BOTH provided anecdotal evidence to support there may be an issue with AKAIO 1.6, geez.

Just because you don't have a problem, doesn't nobody else did!

I agree, whether the AKAIO Team chose SAV over sav is beyond my power so whether its a bug or not is unknown. Maybe they programmed it like that on purpose, maybe not.

Just tested some stuff out, and for some reason when I boot up Tetris it made a new SAVE file. But I just ran bejeweled and it didn't make a new save file.

God dam it did the same thing to New Super Mario Bros. And I had such a good score in that game.

Alright found a bug. And fixed the issue I had earlier. Save files have to be .sav not .SAV

Actually I am not really sure. I just went to my NDS folder in my MicroSD and found out that I have 2 save files of Tetris both with the same exact name and file extentions.


QUOTE(Jakob95 @ Mar 10 2010, 12:26 PM)

The save file deleted for Mario kart because of that AKAIO bug. But good thing my M3 Zero saved it using the backup old Save file feature it has. We need a feature like that for AKAIO.

I happen to have those games in my SD. I checked them all and I didn't lose a single save.

Check your shit before claiming you found a bug.

It makes everybody else's life easier.

Rename your save file extension for Mario kart to .SAV than try. You should have read what I said before it only happens if your saves are .SAV now shut up.

From my questions, you'll probably tell I don't know too much about this stuff, but...

Just exactly what does RC1 mean? I updated to AKAIO 1.5.1, I check back every so often for newer updates, is this the official 1.6, or is it some kind of beta?

RC stands for Release Candidate. This means that this IS AKAIO 1.6 but its not the final release, there still may be bugs that we need to sort out. So while you're enjoying AKAIO 1.6 RC1 if you happen to find a bug, report it properly.

I'm sure someone will correct me but I believe 'RC's' is similar to a BETA except avaliable to the general public.
Whereas 'BETA' are usually given to a select few to try out

Actually a quick Google came up with THIS
QUOTEThe term release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs emerge.

 

[Slyakin]

Thanks again for this RC! I love it to death so far.

 

[Rydian]

RC = "Release Candidate", it's the stage after Beta, where they're fixing the final bugs in the UI and stuff that doesn't matter that much if something goes wrong, since the huge-ass bugs have been fixed.

 

[RupeeClock]

Like I said earlier, I had a problem where AKAIO 1.6RC loaded the wrong shortcut.

On my microSD, among other DS roms, are Picross DS.nds and Picross 3D.nds, along with .sav files.
I created a shortcut to Picross 3D.nds, as I just recently bought the game and will be playing it.

When I launch the game, for some bizarre reason it would launch Picross DS.nds, can't figure why.
What else is interesting is it loaded the save data for picross 3d.nds, and the game said the save data was corrupted.

When I loaded Picross DS.nds, the save data was not effected.
When I loaded Picross 3D.nds (not the shortcut), the save data was also intact.

Finally, I recreated the shortcut to Picross 3D, it didn't happen again.

I had to repost, I felt like it kinda got missed.

Thanks for the info, I'll hold off until the real thing comes out.

Doesn't work with Animal Crossing for the Acekard 2i

Huh, actually you were right. But still, you should have posted a proper bug report where it belongs. And Norm already knows about it, anyway.

That's it. Getting owned by Jakob is too much.

It can't get any lower.

I think I'm gonna kill myself now. See ya.
