do you meen the ak2i official firmware...or ace kard firmware

 

I am having the same problem. I've tried both the AKAIO and the official firmware, multiple times, and all it ever does is say "LOADING". Is there anything else I can do? I only have my US DSi so I can not test it elsewhere..

EDIT: I'm just a moron. SD was not inserted 100%.

 

Inserted some paper on microSD and still no luck. Tried to varite amount of paper and still(

The thing bosering me is why did it work like a charm thirst time and then such a thing(

 

Nope. Didn't help.

 

The Acekard firmware I used that got mine working was on the Acekard website:

http://www.acekard.com/download.php#ak2

Firmware 4.16

 

I have the same "loading screen" problem on both my dsi and my dslite

My acekard 2i only works with the official firmware 4.16 form the acekard website

I hope a future firmware solves this issue.

 

AW, If this is user error then please explain what I and apparently other users are doing wrong. The steps I used to install AHAIO are straight from the Wiki:

1. Format the microSD with the Panasonic formatter.
2. Download the current version of AKAIO
3. Follow in install guide below: Put the _aio folder and akmenu4.nds in the ROOT of your microSD card
4. Insert the microSD card firmly in a non-spring loaded (new shell) ak2.1 and ak2i. If your MSD slot is spring loaded make sure it "clicks."
5. Insert the Acekard firmly into your NDS, again make sure it clicks.
6. Boot up the NDS, select the Acekard from the firmware Slot-1 selection box, and enjoy

I also tried the same installation on 2 other MicroS cards from other manufactures and I also tried installing the new loaders with the same result.

Even though I am new on the DS homebrew scene I am very familiar with homebrew on the Wii so I know the importance of following directions to the letter of the law. I have also been building and repairing PC's for the last 18 years and my first computer was an original Apple // with interger basic. I am aware of device drivers working with many of the same items (IE video cards on the same system spec machines) and 99% of the time the devices all work. However there are cases where even though 2 machines are identical there same device does not work because of a driver issue. I know that we are installing firmware and not a driver but the same goes for flashing a motherboard or video cards bios. I am well aware that your reply will most likely be why are you wasting forum space with this as drivel as you did in many posts on this forum under different headings. My response to you would be why waste my and others time if you do not wish help and just point out out flaws instead of trying to figure out the problem.

 

instead of formatting the SD card several times try to just keep everything the same but delete the globalsettings.ini file in the _aio folder

 

As the primary author of AKAIO, I use my AK2i for testing all the time. Thus as others have said this must be a user error. As if it works with the broken ass official firmware then nothing is broken in the hardware itself meaning the problem is to do with the microsd which does imply user error.
