Hmm... Try formatting it the normal way on your pc and see if it works. Do a full format not a quick one. I bought my acekard 2i from DX. I don't know if this issue is with your card though. I have a 16GB Sandisk in my Acekard, and I've had no problems in the 2 weeks I've been using it. (Upgraded from 2GB)

Since it works with the regular microSD card then it has to be something with the microSDHC card. Is it a Japanese card? If not then that is probably your problem since the Taiwan cards are a lot slower.

I've done that too.

It still didn't read the Micro SDHC.

And I'm on a DS Lite. And the logo on the DS menu says "Acekard 2i"

The SDHC card works on everything else. I've used it in my phone, my computer reads it just fine. It's just the Acekard 2i that is having a problem with it.

I have a 8 gig micro SDHC so im sure there is a way to get it to work,make sure you use the latest firmware from Akaio,not sure if that HAS anything to do with it,but im just saying my set up.
1)Akaio 1.5
2)Latest Loaders http://akaio.gbatemp.net/nloaders/
3)Class 6 8 gig Micro SDHC is what im using...

I know how upsetting it can be for something to not work,so alls I can do really is tell you what I did even if it doesn't help much/at all

I think my Micro SDHC is Class 4...

And yeah, the Akaio firmware/loaders are all up to date.

i too have an acekard 2i with a 4gb sdhc, i've had no problems with it, once firmware was loaded onto the sd card the acekard worked out of box, i've had mine since around this june, maybe a bit before and never had ne problems with it, but i'm running mine on a dsi, i have no experience with it on a lite

If I were you I'd format the Card on your pc, and change the firmware of the acekard 2i to AKAIO. See if it helps.

Already did both of those.

But yeah, doing that didn't help either.

Any other suggestions, guys?

Do you have access to another Micro SD? If you do try that and see if it works. Also if you think it might be the MicroSD tell DX and I'm almost 100% sure they will send you a new one.

Maybe you got a fake acekard...

Akaio 1.5 does not support clone/fake card acekard...

But it works with a normal Micro SD. It just isn't reading the Micro SDHC. Thats the only problem I'm having.

Kinda funny. The topic was truncated at "My Acekard 2i isn't rea..." on frontpage. I thought that the last word was "real" and it seems that "My Acekard 2i isn't real" might be the answer to your problem XD

Well, I guess it might not be funny to you but... I mean, come on, an acekard is cheaper than a single retail game these days.

Well I bought the card where literally everyone suggests buying it. And everyone else who bought the same thing I did from the same place hasn't had a problem at all.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
