note that the wiki itself also caches it's pages. You can purge it manually with &action=purge (click edit, replace the &action=edit in the url with &action=purge and press enter). Or edit and immediately submit without changing anything (=null edit), which should update it as well.

@vato: those images look a lot better. the 2i image is a tiny bit washed out but it is much better quality.

I did some Gimp tweaking, and updated 'em a lil bit more.

i already linked the bootloader guide at the end of the akaio wiki. it won't go in the wiki itself because the wiki is about akaio and not the acekard.

i still think we should make the compatibility wiki more useful but i don't think people will use it to report problems or fixes. there really is no way to get akaio to run something better these days. the dma modes were removed, the download play ram issues were fixed, soft-reset shouldn't cause issues either, etc. maybe we should just leave it alone and not do anything with it.

your call, i'm just the translator.

if you decide to don't do anything, just take it out of the NavBox and stop linking to it. simple.

i just polished this up a bit. fixed a few typos. swapped the world "can" for "should" (read the edit history to better understand why). added a sentence about what update file to try. bolded some stuff. took out two bullets which were unnecessary.

its complete now, i don't see a need to update any part of it except to change the link at the bottom for a future firmware release.

made some updates to the wiki for 1.8.8.

-added small icon options to their appropriate section
-added touch screen scrolling invert option information
-added new globalsettings options
-removed an old (no longer used) globalsettings option
-moved around some globalsettings stuff to order it in way it appears in the .ini file
-added new FAS1 option information to the globalsettings.ini with generic descriptions

if anyone owns an FAS1 would you please update the globalsettings.ini section with more information as needed. please also update the FAS1 section with the new option information. i am unable to do these things as i do not own an FAS1 and i am unable to bring up the new GUI options.

vato is going to add the updated info about the new bmp support in the next few days.

with those changes i do believe that we are up-to-date.

i ported over tk_saturn's contact issue information to the wiki and linked to it in the akaio link section.

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Solving_Aceka..._Contact_Issues

its set up using the proper include tags. my goal is to eventually rewrite his stickied guide and then transcode in this article and the bootloader article. if anyone cares to start a rewrite of his guide it rather easy to transcode one article into another. if you can't figure it out drop me a PM.

i made a few quick edits today to the globalsettings section and the fas1 section. after talking to smiths i collected more info on the new fas1 options.

to the fas1 section i also added info on which FA carts are supported, a link to the original FAS1 homepage, a link to the sram explorder tool, and a link to the f2a library (incase someone wants to add support one day).

to the links section i added the link to the sram explorder tool.

i did not keep up with the bootloader updates. we need to update that wiki page to include the missing 3ds firmwares and what new bootloader icons fix what firmwares.

if no one wants to update, i'll gladly do it, if someone provides the missing information for me.

also with that page one of the images is showing up rotated, but if you click on the image and get it to load on its own in a browser it looks fine. i'm assuming its something with the wiki code, anyone know whats up with it?

cheers,

by request of team acekard, i added a bit about the anti-counterfeit code sticker to the "clone" section of the wiki. i also wrote a separate article related to the sticker and the code.

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Anti-counterfeit_code

the second article isn't yet finished, i'll tidy it up in the next week.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
