So firstly, as the title states, a word of warning that PriceAngels.com are selling Acekard 2 clones that look like they are real ones. I received mine today and can tell its a clone by the fact that it wont load games from AKAIO 1.6. So beware!

Another note: I thought the clones were meant to work with AKAIO 1.5... my one can boot games from AKAIO 1.5 but all games freeze either in the first menu of the game of when it tries to save. I'm thinking this may be because I'm using an cheap no-name MicroSD?

Before I get scolded by pros, I will have you all know that I have ordered an Acekard 2i from Gamekool.com (which I hope doesn't turn out to be a clone) and I have also ordered a Japan Kingston MicroSD card. So hopefully that makes up for my previous gaming incompetence.

Comments appreciated.

Only bad batch... wait for fix (oficial acekard system) and next time use search, because this problem had many (many, many, many) users before you and they made almost the same thread...

Until rls of fixed fw, download and use ACEKARD system 4.07a15

I recieved my acekard2i from price angels today and it works fine with AKAIO 1.6.
I had to flash the cart to work with my DSi 1.4 firmware, but after that it works perfectly.

Hmm - seem like PriceAngel has removed acekard from their site

Tim the Elite:You also say acekard is a clone but is your card a acekard 2.1 or a 2i ??
If a 2.1 - there's been a bad batch of them & you may be unlucky to get one

Any idea what the HW code is on your card ??
If you can't get AKAIO 1.6 working - try an older version or Acekard own offical firmware

It's an Acekard 2.1. I just assumed it was a clone because I read somewhere that if an Acekard gets stuck on the green game loading screen in 1.6 then it has to be a clone.

As for the 'HW Code', I have no idea what that is.

Is it safe to assume that the Acekard 2i that I ordered from Gamekool.com will be genuine?

In terms of 'safeness', my experience was good with PriceAngels. Prices were cheap. Delivery was quick. I only had two problems with them.

1. From the time I ordered until now, I haven't received a single email from PriceAngels, no receipt, no nothing. I can't even log onto their site as a customer. That being said, the items still arrived in the post quickly.
2. The Acekard 2.1 I received is either a clone or from a bad batch.

I guess if you were going to buy an Acekard 2i, PriceAngels would be fine, as someone previously said they had ordered an Acekard 2i and it is working fine.

This is the link I bought mine from, it works great and they're still on the site.

Alright thanks. I'll probably test it by buying something cheap and see how it goes.
