Hacking I have a rather annoying issue...

[KrimsoN111]

I'm playing my acekard 2i on my 3DS, it works fine for a while but then sometimes, usually when i try to save, it freezes at the save screen of whatever game I'm playing.
then i try to boot it up again and i get a message: "an error has occurred, hold power button to turn off system".

i have the AKAIO 1.8.9z and i am running the latest 3DS firmware.

can anyone help? thank you.

Don't post two threads for the same problem.

Sounds like issues with the Micro SD card and the Acekard.

Format your SD card with Panasonic SDFormatter and the reapply AKAIO and try it.

heh sorry...thanks i'll try it.

 

[KrimsoN111]

Dang....i tried it but it still froze. is there anything else this could be?

You need to format your card with these settings
FORMAT TYPE - FULL (OverWrite) : FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT - ON.

Oh! okay i'll try that!

Does it freeze if you shake the DS while playing?

To me it sounds like a contact issue. There's a guide for that in the stickies.

 

[KrimsoN111]

Okay...been a while...anyway, i tried formating with the specific options but it didn't work...guess i'll move on to the contact guide.

what brand is your msd card? what class speed is it? how large is it? are you 100% sure it is legit? have you tested it on another flash kit? have you run check disk (or a similar program on it) to make sure it isn't damaged in some way?

the reason i ask is that part of what you are describing sounds like a bad msd card. it explains more the save issues you are having. a contact issue won't present itself only when you are saving, it would happen more randomly. however, the message you are receiving when the save fails i have seen happen with contact issues.

Well, the micro sd card came with my old cyclods. no i have not tested any other flash kit and i have not run a disk check i have only formatted it...

i have the exact same issue i tried the contacts its updated to 4.2.0-9 bootloader if i had a DS/Lite i would try it on one but i don't could it be the bootloader itself?

Well, the micro sd card came with my old cyclods.

so it is a generic no-name card that has already seen 4+ yrs of use?

Well, yes. the sole reason of me making this was to at least find an answer. i kind of figured this was the case anyway lol.

its hard to debug the issue then. it could very well be the card. you could try the paper trick, but if that doesn't fix your issues then i would suggest that you pick up a better msd card. i've been using transcend cards, i can't recommend the 8 gb class-6 card enough.
