Version History

+ delete function in AKMenu uses shortfilenames, for increased compatibility -- Smiths
+ fixed cheat window when launched from a shortcut -- Smiths
+ cheat window has collapsible folders -- bliss
* extra bmps (folder_plus.bmp/folder_minus.bmp)
+ cheat window can use touchpen for controls -- bliss
+ fixes for 2byte languages -- kzat3
+ improvements in 2byte language support in cheat window -- kzat3

+ cheat window features scroll arrows to indicate cheats outside the currently displayed rows -- Smiths
* extra bmps (arrow_up.bmp/arrow_down.bmp)

+ fix for loading gba savefile of raw type -- bliss
+ Remove hard-coded sizes for the calender and clock -- Normmatt
+ New options requested on forum for copying/cutting/deleting a SAV along with a NDS file -- Smiths
* under "System Settings" -> "Advanced Options"

* [Advanced Setting] in language.txt will has two new options: CopyCut Saves Too = Copy/Cut SAV with ROM / Delete Saves Too = Delete SAV with ROM
+ New filename for cheat ".cc" files: gamecode+crc32.cc, see if that helps with some creation problems -- Smiths

I guess mirror can be posted here or something but I'm drinking and watching hockey, so someone else do it.

Nice - I need to get me an Acekard.

Does anyone have screenshots of the ui?

For the most part, it looks the same as the original AKRPG loader.

 

[stormcontrol]

sorry, newb to ak2 here. is this much better than bliss custom (which i'm using now)?

 

[OSW]

This firmware only works on the RPG.

it's a hybrid of all the custom firmwares, including bliss'.

ahh. i jumped to the conclusion it could run on ak2. =p
Thanks for the clarification!

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Hell. If my SCDS1 SDHC breaks, I'll get a Acekard RPG for sure...

 

[Urza]

I'm strongly considering getting one, but finding it hard to justify dropping 80USD on another flashcart..

Good point....

i'm new to this AKBBS thing. currently i'm using bliss custom.
i visited the website's SVN (http://devel.acekard.com/svn/trunk/AceKard-BBS/), but there are LOTS of files over there >,<
could anybody tell me which files i should download to get this AKBBS 1.99 for my AK2?

thanks alot =]

 

[azotyp]

Dont know will it work on ak2 but heres link to merged love firmware for ak1 (I think that there is 1 custom fw for both)

[Bri]

I don't believe the merged firmware works for the AK2. The Bliss firmware (Custom OSMenu for Acekard2 : v407.bliss.k08) is the one you want for the AK2: http://bliss.hanirc.org/blog/

[g3p3nk]

oh.. so it doesnt work on AK2 ._.
well yea, i'm using bliss custom k08 one for a while, and was thinking of trying the AKBBS. but i guess i'll stay w/ bliss =D

thanks guys x]

It'll work, just get the akmenu4.nds from bliss' AK2 custom. Then rename __rpg folder from AKBBS to __ak2. And place the dldi file for the ak2 from bliss' __ak2 folder inside the renamed __rpg folder.

That won't give you anything from AKBBS. the Akmenu4.nds contains all the code and such.
I'm contacting the AK team about potentially getting a AKBBS for AK2... but no promises.

 

[g3p3nk]

wow, if they really are going to accommodate AKBBS for AK2, that'd be awesome! i'll keep waiting! it seems to be able to do more than bliss' custom (although i like bliss' one), but i'd like to see which one is the best for me.

thanks smiths! and all of the AKBBS team and bliss~~ =]
(i'm quite sure smiths and bliss ARE part of AKBBS team. no?)

 

[Bri]

What might AKBBS do on the AK2 that Bliss' menu doesn't do?

Most of the additions are documented in the changelog.

 

[Normmatt]

one major feature which i've added in my private build and a public beta for the rpg (http://devel.acekard.com/wiki/wiki/AceKard-snapshots) is Slow Motion.
