Ripped out the sticker...
Actel chip, HW ID is 80...Possible Fake? Probable fake. :[ ....Acekard 2i, From DX with HW:80 and an Actel chipOh dear !!!! - mind you the info I've found does say 'possible' fake (I see if I can dig out the exact wording of the article)

EDIT - Found it. It's this post
Apparently I best change my little list as the definition of 'Possible Fake' could be misleading

The HW:80 is apparently 'the old style' Acekcards 2i's that are being made by a group of EX-members of the offical Acekard team.
It is considered 'Fake' by the team that run the Acekard website, but since it is in fact the older version of the acekard then it is a 'genuine article'
QUOTEAre the Actel ones fake?
It depends on how you see it. The Actel one was from the original design, but was manufactured by a group who are no longer with Acekard. The group who has control over the Acekard web site can claim whatever they want to since they control the site.
Edited (again): OK I've edited my previous post to try & clear things up

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me i am new to the Acekard after using the ttds card for a while.

I bought the card from Deal Extreme Acekard 2.1 for my Nintendo DS Lite
I am trying to use this update (Akaio v1.6 RC1), however when I click on a game to load, the loading message turns from blue to green but then freezes, with the top screen remaining black.
Version 1.5.1 works but does not do all the things the 1.6 RC1 does

Did I buy the wrong card

and have to buy a new one or is the one I got a fake?

Please help, thanks in advance

So for the white screens, If it gets those then freeze's. The AceKard2i is fake? or if you get them period? I installed the new loaders without formatting., So far no issue's.

Please help, thanks in advanceAny chance you can find the HW code (In AKAIO [start] > Help) - that may give a clue to whether it's a fake or not (See my earlier post for numbers)

Another thing is that some games don't like the 'soft reset' &/or 'cheats' enabled - have you tried starting the game with them switched off

The HW code is 80 and the SVN is 803 Which I think indicates that it is real.
I didn't select any cheats :S, I disabled them and the soft reset and same problem.

Thanks anyway

if you purchased your 2.1 after december 2009 you probably have a bad card. acekard has commented that the cards are real and they have no idea what the problem is. it seems that most users have problems with corrupt saves but other users are reporting that the firmware hangs on "loading...". try the official firmwares and 1.5.1. if either one works and your saves go currupt you have confirmed you have a bad card. you should really just exchange it with DX and pay the $1 more to get an ak2i.

all acekards have a 1yr warranty. so if you can prove its real they will have to exchange it. i would simply write them an email and complain that they sold you a FAKE card. check: http://www.acekard.com/news.php

its gotten really annoying that the 2.1 has problems and acekard has no idea how to fix it yet, and that the 2i is cloned with real 2i stickers thanks to acekard oem-ing their design for the r4 clones.

this was one of the best companies for awhile with one of the best linkers. i think they dug their own grave.

[*]Acekard 2i with Actel chip = HW:80 = It depends on your point of view
- "Real" - but is actually an older design that were made by ex-members of the Acekard team,
- "Fake" by the existing Acekard team that control the offical website

i had to LOL at this. i duno whats up with the hw80, but there are no ex-members making cards and a fake team does not control www.acekard.com.

acekard did sell their design which was turned into the r4 clones. these are the clones that could run akaio (because it was actually an acekard under the hood). that design has been obviously sold again and now a really *pretty* clone has been produced. while this clone appears to have many issues it looks like the ak2i and wholesale outlets claim they can't tell the difference. this is mostly due in part to the fact that team acekard stopped selling to overseas retailers, these people are now forced to buy their product from a 3rd party and the chances of clones goes WAY up.

i guess its time to do some research and then to drop acekard some emails to find out what is going on.

Scrolling in the cheats menu seems to be slower than scrolling in the games menu, would there be anyway to improve this in the next release?

Enjoying Akaio, thanks.
