Please god, no! That's gotta be the stupidest feature I ever saw... and what's worse is people are all hyping a bunch of LEDs. I don't want any stupid LEDs going off while I'm playing my DS. Just when I thought the LED fad was finally over...

there's an article on yyjoy about it, here.

this bit is probably the most interesting, babelfished:
QUOTE said:
It is well known, the Windows use filing system generally is the Fat form, we use the memory card tacitly approves also is the Fat form, before outside these uses meets the storage device the fever to record card like M3, DSLink, SC and so on uses the Fat form, since then why continuously these fever have recorded the card all to need to transform in advance on the computer time, the most basic reason is the Fat form reads takes the speed slowly, if if realizes Clean the Rom direct movement, even if is has had the compatibility above the hardware, because of the Fat form question, has caught the innumerable merchants, it is said that Acekard when development once is also worried for this extremely, Because transformed the thought pattern afterwards, thought may use the new filing system to replace the Fat form, perhaps may solve the Fat form speed slow problem, thereupon then will develop the direction to transform, then the Acekard document format "AKFS" then was born, this form specially will be Acekard directly moves Clean the Rom design. In other words, until now, at present does not have the means directly to let NDS move in Fat form memory card Clean Rom, then, may trade one kind of mentality, lets it move in other form memory card Clean Rom. This has a question, since is the special-purpose form, equally inserts the computer like the U plate to use, the direct duplication glues Rom not to be impossible, how way then Acekard should operate with, actually records the card with traditional these fever somewhat similar, it also needs to use a PC end the procedure to coordinate the use, this procedure is called Acekard Manager, uses it, may turn into the TF card form the AKFS form, also will be allowed to use it to play the copy to the TF card in. About Acekard Manager, because is in the development initial period, therefore the function is not certainly complex, at present has the formatted SD card, establishes SD function and so on card speed, establishment archive tabulates, renewal menu procedure, transmits Rom.
When formatted TF card, the system can prompt chooses the TF card the model, Acekard Manager tacitly approves has: Kingmax TF 1G, PNY TF 1G, Kingston TF 1G, Sandisk TF 512M these options. Certainly, the system in has set at these options certainly is not only indicated Acekard only supports these kind of cards belt, for instance Sandisk TF 1G, Kingmax TF 512M all supports, everybody may defer to the brand to choose the different option.
..um. yeah. In non-Engrish form, that seems to say something like other removable media-based cards require patching because FAT is too slow to run clean ROMs directly from the card otherwise.. but with Acekard, they're going for the other side of the problem, and instead replacing the file system. So you have to format the MicroSD card in AKFS, and use the Acekard Manager to transfer files to it.

That's a shame, in my opinion the biggest advantage of the DS Xtreme is the ability to simply drag and drop in Windows without patching or without special software. If this is true, it would probably cause me to go with the DS X, even though I would prefer larger storage.

yeah, it probably is too much to ask. i've heard in several places that standard FAT SD card I/O isn't as fast as a real DS card, so to achieve full speed and compatibility running roms from SD they either have to be patched (as with the Slot-2 cards and DSLink) or the filesystem replaced entirely (like this one).

Let me translate some from the review

"advantage:
1. no flashme
2. support clean rom. .
3. the offical said that would perfectly support every new rom in the futrue without any core-updata.
4. solt-1 size, use micro card
...

shortage:
1. still need pc client support, at least need a driver.
2. once the tf card formated to AKFS, it can not use in any other place like cell phone, pda.
3. can not run any homebrew now. ....
4. everytime you run a new game you need to select the save type by yourself, even you open a homebrew.
..."

I am so disappointed with this card.

There is another problem about AKFS.

It seems like every rom in the card saved in an order. if you delete one of them, it will appear a "free space". you can not release them but add something equal or smaller than the "free space".

of course, you can format the whole card to solve the whole problem...

cleck here to see the img

What's the point of having the card run unpatched ROMs if you still have to load them through a special piece of software? You might as well just have the software patch the ROM and keep the FAT file system, which has adavtanges of its own as far as homebrew and general flexibility are concerned.

The DS-X sounds way cooler, but personally, I still can't see any real reson to get a DS slot flash device over a GBA slot one.

they said:

AKFS is a new format to simulate the real card, there is no patch on the rom because the software is like a driver to let you input the rom. like you need to install a driver for a flash card using in a win98 system.
