So I just installed CHEATS.DAT on my AceKard 2i. And so I set up the patches option to allow cheats and stuff. when I press x to find cheats for a super robot taisen og game it says that the cheat file isn't found. I checked for it on the cheat list that came with the .dat file, and it's there. I have renamed all of the games that I have on my AK 2i so could that be an issue? or if not, how can I fix it?

Works for me.

Download USRCHEAT.DAT and copy to /__aio/cheats.

Highlight the game and press Y, not X. Then tap the Cheats button.

Edit: USRCHEAT.DAT is the default database. If you want to use a different database you have to change it in the AKAIO system options. (ie. under "Select Cheat Database" change it to CHEAT.DAT).

If you're using the latest 1.4.1 AKAIO you should just have _aio folder and ak4menu.nds in the root of your mSD. You shouldn't need the official firmware.

And it comes with a default theme.

oops. yeah never mind I got it. I didn't replace the ak4menu.nds file with the one that came with AKAIO. What about skins? what skins can I use just the ak 2 or ak rpg or any of them that are for the ak?

Skins that work with the official work exactly the same with AKAIO. I'm pretty sure you can get more from the official acekard site. Hope you enjoy AKAIO! (It beats the official any day).

EDIT: I don't know about the AKRPG, I've never used one. I assume so..?

ok.... sorry for being such a hassle but I have another, and final question... how do I get the cheats to work. I'd open the cheats window and press what cheats I want, get it to rebuild the .cc file and it seems like it's not working. I'm only going to assume that it's because of the trait of fail that I normally have when it comes to putting cheats in games. can someone help?

Well, what I normally do is just check off cheats I want in the cheat window, save them, and test them out.

A good and quick test would be Chrono Trigger. If you don't wind up in the never-ending "whirpool" sequence, then you set that cheat up correctly.

I believe AKAIO blocks most anti-piracy things automatically.

To use cheats, put a cheat database in the appropriate folder, then go into the cheats menu and select the correct database. Open up the cheats window and turn on whatever cheats you want. Press select to save selection, then start the game.

ok so I used some cheats like infinite patient's health in one of the trauma center games and it didn't work. Is it just an error of the cheat code? is it me? what could cause this problem

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
