Was doing some file transferring when i noticed i had some corrupted files on my SD card, and they refuse to be deleted (They just pop back up with 0 KBs).

So now i'm going through and deleting everything corrupted and backing up everything else before i use the Panasonic SD Formatter.

I just wanted to know regarding the Acekard firmware would i need to repatch it up to current firmware? Or do i just put the same system files back in.

when you ask about the "acekard firmware" are you talking about the bootloader or the kernel? you will not need to reflash the bootloader, but you should update the kernel.

1. back-up your files
2. reformat your msd card using the panasonic sd formatter
3. put on a fresh copy of akaio 1.8.9z, update the loaders (if needed)
4. put back on your files....

understand that if your msd card is corrupted most of your files may also be corrupted. assuming only the 1 or 2 files you can not delete are the only corrupted files would be a mistake. so my best advice to you is that after you get your issues sorted is that you make a good clean back-up of your files. that way if this happens again you will have everything you want already set up in a directory you can just drag/drop from.

The firmware has nothing to do with it,
it sometimes happen with me,
just do what Another World said and you'll be fine

About the firmware:

You just need to update it if you want to use it on a updated system.
Acekard firmware still does not support 3DS v4.2,
It will probably be released in one or two weeks.

For now it's better to stay with the system the way it is now.

    Although in most systems these days physical is pretty shitty since it requires installation.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Series s can still do 1440p fine I just can't argue spending double over a few extra games you'll hardly notice
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Fps in games anyway
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like physical
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I dislike digital only when most games are cheaper physical.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    And with this sale the different is only 50€ to the series s
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Depends you can get a VPN and buy Argentina codes like half the cost
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Id need to use another account though iirc.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like having all my games in one account.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah just set your VPN and use redeem.microsoft it's been working for me
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Anyway, series x seems to be compatible with 360, so I could play all my games there.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was thinking about the ps5 but only reall exclusive I'm interested in is FFXVI
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    and gamepass is nicer than sony's option
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    but dunno...
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Theirs not enough exclusives for ps5 especially since they're realizing PC sells
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    FFXVI will probably follow suit too
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    If Delta was an exclusive I'd probably buy a ps5 but nah
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Delta?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Mgs remake
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, MGS?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    yeah, took me a sec there
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    All those years of anti scalpers and when consoles are finally back in stock everything's getting a PC port lol
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
