Hacking edgei-ds.cn loader for AK2i

[Normmatt]

WTF this is based on one of the akaio ak2 loaders, either they modified the binary or somehow got hold of the sources in which case some heads will be rolling.

Oh Jesus Christ it's Normat the baby. Oh no he's going to sulk and quit the Akaio team again.

Because there are akaio specific texts in the binary and the in game code is mine.

...may I ask why the AKAIO AK2 loader has "dOnThAx" in it like 30 times?

EDIT: WOAH

I see lots of similarities when doing a binary comparison!!

Where dOnThAx is in the AKAIO loader.... at the EXACT SAME SPOT is empty space! and lots more!

Spoiler

EDIT2: ...the hell?!

 

[Normmatt]

because i didn't wont it hacked thought plain text donthax would be fairly easy to read

Sys.bin contains the text "It may not be a genuine Acekard. Please contact your vender." which is ironic.

If they have ripped off AKAIO, then I think it's perfectly understandable that Normmatt is pissed. If I were Normmatt, steam would be coming out of my ears right now.

This.

What I find funny is people have been trying to use this 'Edgei' loader on an Acekard with AKAIO, a loader which was ripped from AKAIO in the first place. An utterly pointless exercise. I hate clones.

Well I just want it so I can use MoonShell2 as a loader =P

 

[Pliskron]

I've owned some excellent clones. I'd just be pissed if I bought something that I thought was real and it ended up being a clone.

Having another loader for Akaio seems like a good idea when trying to get that odd new release to run. Still, thats all going to be in the past now that the new Supercard is out. Supposedly we aren't going to need game updates any more. Bye bye Acekard.

Probably a stupid question to those with more knowledge on how the hardware works but the fact that it's a hacked AKAIO loader makes me curious as to whether the EDGE is some kind of AK2 clone?

It is a slightly modified ak2 clone with some new non ak2 cart commands which is why the modified moonshell2 doesnt work on the ak2.

EDIT: atleast this EDGE cart is the official edge cart is a stripped down cyclods.

It's a clone of an Acekard clone.

Normmatt answered it in another thread, i'll go find it.

He's refering to the edgei which is a fake iedge cart, not the iedge itself.

edit: didn't see the post above before I posted.

 

[Pliskron]

I thought the Edge was a clone of the Cyclo. Does that mean the Acekard is a Cyclo clone and the Edge is and Acekard clone?

Ah, just realised I put the instead of this! Yeah, meant this cart in particular. Cheers for the info mate. Is it going to be much work to be able block this one as well?

Just realised I misworded it! Nice one for the info. Been seeing a few complaints about this one in the EDGE section, I can give a little bit more help now. The only thing I really knew about the cart before this was that it was clone but I thought it was a clone of the offical cart rather than a modified clone of another cart.

I suppose this whole thread is pointless since I've never even had a use for the official Acekard loader.

He is Right

The thread obviously isn't pointless as it's got on topic replies.

I wouldn't say he is, it might be pointless to the people who aren't interested in it but as you can see from the replies there are people that are interested in it.

 

[Pliskron]

I think it's pointless I'd give the loader a try but I'm not going to hex edit files so I can use a loader thats not going to be better than the one I already have. Interesting concept but pretty pointless until someone uploads a working file and even then I still don't see much of a point.
