Hacking Experiment: Acekard 2 Firmware on R4 original

[Eymas]

I don't want to wait until DSi4DS plays Commercial roms
DSision's YSmenu is screwed up (sorry for the complaint Spinal

)
MenuDO Takes too long
YSMenu is (again) Screwed up

So im trying to boot and use firmwares of other cards.
So far i got these results:
SCDS - Nothing
DSTT - Nothing
CycloDS/EDGE - Nothing
R4 - Dumb question, im doing it on an R4.
R4i -

it doesn't work on the DSi.
M3 Real - didn't tested yet
Acekard 2 - works half

Im glad with the results on Acekard 2

Only thing is: I need all the firmware files. like _DS_MENU.DAT and _DS_MENU.SYS .
So can anyone PM me all te firmware files needed on Acekard 2 so that i can continue my experiment

Already Thanks for the person who can send me all the files

Wha???

You do realize that the firmwares are intimately tied to the hardware they are supposed to run on, so they will not run on other cards without heavy modification, unless the hardware is the same or very similar?

 

[elixirdream]

warbird,
that is so true...
anyway, he mentioned that he ALMOST did it. Thus, i will wish him luck for not bricking his flash cart

 

[Eymas]

elixrdream: Thanks for the tip but i get the same files >.<
Quick-zeno: __ak2 + AKmenu4.nds

Warbird: Picture and Evidence

:
When booting akmenu4.nds

Menu working perfectly after boot of akmenu4.nds

elixrdream 2th reply: My R4 Original still works

Conclusion: I need all the firmware files needed for Acekard 2. if anyone can bring me all that, Kudos!

if you could get it working properly, i would be grateful XD. i dont like the look of the r4 or ysmenu looks XD.
good luck.

it's R4

Ask normatt.

how different you want this to be

 

[Eymas]

Kingdomblade: Euh... And he is the AK2 Genius of GBAtemp?
Elixirdream: I think these 2 or more files are missing ingredients.

 

[elixirdream]

Eymas,
Normmatt? hahahaha he is larger than life
BEWARE

isn't _DS_MENU.DAT is a file from r4 firmware?

 

[KingdomBlade]

Kingdomblade: Euh... And he is the AK2 Genius of GBAtemp?
Elixirdream: I think these 2 or more files are missing ingredients.

Do not dare question the mighty normatt! And besides, he did invent AKAIO (a firmware replacement that's a lot more feature packed but looks the same).

 

[Eymas]

...

XP Ok. so he is behind AKAIO? Then i have a liitle word for him : I like extra features

offtopic: i worship normmatt for his knowledge and being so resourceful

 

[KingdomBlade]

Yeah.. I didn't get that. Anyway, don't get your hopes up. You have to change the composition of the files and that would take an enormous amount of programming knowledge.

 

[Depravo]

YSMenu is (again) Screwed up

Then you built it incorrectly or your R4 isn't as 'original' as you think. YSMenu works perfectly on original R4's if you do it right.

 

[Eymas]

Well. no hopes up? I have enough patience, so i´ll just wait to:
Normmatt
another option
the firmware files.

No haste luckily

No Offense, but
1) You're being completely retarded... only the R4 and its clones use the _DS_MENU.DAT renaming other files won't let a different firmware launch.
2) launching the AKMENU4.NDS file under R4 firmware is lol... I'm not even gonna bother explaining how retarded it is.
3) MenuDO? lolwut? you can't actually have a proper menuDO release, because the latest (private) betas work perfectly on the R4 using little parts of YSmenu to load. In fact, I don't think that there is actually any proper betas of firmwares available.
4) as I have stated before (somewhere) you'd need to modify it heavilly to make it work, like Rudolph did for M3 Sakura (it can't actually do anything much though).
Now rudolph is a well established name within the DS Development scene, I somehow doubt that YOU of all people would be able to make other firmwares work on any other cards...
5) this is just opinion, but I'd expect to see thumbs THAT short on a 10 year old... prove that your not just an attention whore kid

 

[Eymas]

1) You're being completely retarded...
Answer: if you did much in the summer vacation and you don´t know what to do? i´ll search for homebrew and found DSision 2 and i thought: Maybe firmwares of other cards will work. Maybe.
2) launching the AKMENU4.NDS file under R4 firmware is lol...
Answer: I saw the .nds file and i said directly: This is worth a Test.
3) MenuDO?
Answer: I know of the private release. and it takes too long to develop. setting hopes on Menudo is dumb because of all the features Soulanger want to put in takes long to code. so i set the hopes off Menudo.
4) as I have stated before (somewhere) you'd need to modify it heavilly to make it work, like Rudolph did for M3 Sakura (it can't actually do anything much though).
Answer: Tests are free to do, like watching someting über in a Shop. and i wanted to do something today
