Hacking R4 DS Vs Acekard 2

[eldhand]

Is this supercard better choice than acekard 2?

If only I got a nickle for every time this question was asked, I'd have about a hundred nickles!

Whether the SCDS1 is better than the AK2 depends on how you define "better." The SCDS1 has a somewhat sluggish and overly complicated menu system. But it has some features that the AK2 doesn't have, most notably real-time game state dumps. The AK2 has a beautiful, responsive, and easy to use menu system and it's slightly less expensive. But it doesn't have real-time game state dumps.

So, if game state dumps are more important to you than the menu or price, go with the SCDS1. Otherwise, the AK2 may be a better choice.

I own a M3 DS Simply and ordered an AK2 for possible replacement and got mine last week.

I have a AK2.1 now for 2 days and experiencing only white screens on any game if cheats are on and a very slow loading of a game folder with only 25 games in it. (Only for backlight codes, normal cheats are working. Faster if using USRCHEAT.DAT).
I'm using a SanDisk 2GB non-SDHC card. Using the GBAtemp cheats.

I have tried serveral tricks (including SDFormatter) and I think the AK has a very poor DLDI driver.
In cf_bench, my AK2.1 is 20-50% SLOWER then my M3 DS Simply on the SAME microSD.

I mean, whats that? Why is the AK2 so f*cking slow?
I like the menu and the cheats functions (even more if they would work...).

I don't want to bother your decision, but until now, the M3 Simply works finer than my AK2 and the building quality is also much better :/
Any hints?

Here are my charts for cf_bench on both cards. Same SanDisk 2GB MicroSD.

My AK is now working better. Only the backlight codes aren't working (see this thread).

I can test that, but until now everything have worked fine for me.

I switched from the R4 when I found out mine was a fake. Much happier with my AK2. It's just nicer!

The interface, mainly.
