Hacking Bad AceKard?

[thejellydude]

So I've tried formatting the MicroSD to Fat32 and Fat. I've used both AKAIO and the official firmware. But both times, I just barely get past the "Loading" screen and then it freezes. Any help?

You have a classic case of a defective AceKard 2. Don't worry about it, it happens to alot of people. So just contact whoever you bought it from and I'm sure they'll be glad to give you a replacement. Apparently the new AceKards don't have this problem, so don't worry about it.

Thanks. I heard about the defective AceKards, but I'd heard that they froze at the health warning screen. Oh well, I guess I'll set something up with DX.

Yeah mine froze halfway at the health warning screen. However their are also reports of frozen loading screens aswell.

Freezing during the Health and Safety-screen could also be caused by bad contact between your DS and your Ak2. This happens some of the times with both my Scds1 and my Acekard 2 and neither are defective. Flashcart are known to have problems when creating flashcarts that are the exact same size as a commercial game.

Hey, instead of making a new thread I think I'll ask here...

Symptoms:

- My Acekard RPG doesn't recognize my Ez3-in-1 exp. with the AKAIO kernel, but it does with the official release.

- It doesn't read my microSD card. I've tried formating it (FAT and FAT32), putting the AKAIO/official kernel in it (even though I don't think that's necessary)... it still gives me the "unable to access microSD card" error.

So... should I ask for a replacement? I tried "googling" the error message but only to find pages with the text files for kernel development.

Thanks.

Hmm I mean just looking at your list of problems. I can probably guess its a defective card.

 

[sonicorochi]

Bah... after some more tests and etc, I've just guessed it as well and already opened a ticket at DX =(

But thanks anyway. =)

Does it read other microsd cards, if so then your microsd is at fault not your flashcart.

 

[sonicorochi]

Nah, tried with 3 different microSD (which all worked with my R4). =\
