OK I just got my Acekard2i yesterday and everything is pretty well but something has been bothering me. How do I change my OS from Akaio to something like DS Organize (for example)? I'm transitionong from the Max Media Dock but on that is was as simple as taking the os.nds file renaming it to boot.nds and then taking that nds file with the os files folder and sticking all of that on the root of the card. For a great product this Acekard came with no instructions so, what can I fo to get this baby to load a different OS on startup?

You could download the Official firmware of Acekard in acekard.com. But most of all the new games won't work on it. I don't understand why you don't like the AKAIO os? Its one of the best OS's there is.

Its not that I dont like it but I want to use DSision2 as my OS so that it fits with my DSi's theme. Aside from that AKAIO has issues with a few apps like SVSIP (not showin up at all, folder and .nds file) and Bunjallo (I get an error where it says it cant find the "bunjallo" file folder and I know its there).

I know this has nothing to do with the thread topic but did you put the "bunjalloo" folder in the root directory of your micro sd?

I did and last night i found out that my acekard was making some of my files "hidden". Is there a way to "un-hide" files and folders on the card?

It's not AKAIO's fault, it's yours.

    Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it.
