I'm really confused, which one is the real A2i HW ? is it 80 or 81

can anyone tell me about that, I got my A2i that sad HW81 (some people said it was the real one)
but I can't use the original Fw from Acekard

this thing between clone and real is really confusing....
81 is the real Acekard 2i. 80 is for Acekard 2.1s.
Check this topic: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=217695

Thanks for the link, cos I've been meaning to disassembling my A2i, and now I don't have to mess around with my cart

Dear Valerie,

I'm deeply sorry for delay!

Our email system callapesed yesterday.

So I didnt receive all the emails!

You have DS lite or DS i?

here is our solutions for you.
1). you could send it back , we will exchange them for you.
And you could get one R4 as gift.
what you need to do is offer me your proof of the parcel that you send it back.
Then I will send you 1 AK2i with one R4 immediately , and you could track it on http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/default.jsf?LOCALE=en

2).If you want to keep them,we can refund you the difference of the value.
you ordered 1 AK2i, so we refund you $2.60 USD.

Anyway,we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience,but we are doing are best to solve it!

Thanks for your understanding and patience!

Waiting for your reply!
Or you could add my MSN , so we could discuss it freely!

My ID is [email protected]

Best Regards!

Rachel


Well I'm clearly not choosing the second option. However, I have no use for an R4. We've replied by asking if we could just exchange the 2.1 for the 2i.

There's no mention of the shipping cost. We asked if they could reimburse the shipping cost, and I'm sure they'll comply.

Looks like things are turning for the better

Glad to see things are looking good for you now, I know how it feels when something like that happens.
My friend also had a bad experience with Gamekool but got a refund.

Cool! free R4! Getting the wrong item shipped to you rocks!
Except for that whole 'waiting extra time' and 'paying return shipping' since FROM WHAT WAS PASTED there is no mention of them covering return shipping.





Unless that was sarcasm... then totally.

My R4 still works ok with YSmenu, espicialy with people like Pong and Rudolph working on patches. I will probably get flamed for this but a still prefer the R4 to my A2ki. If it wasn't for the struggling support I would still be using it as the primary flash cart.

R4s got a bad name due to the huge number of lousy clones that hit the market. The original is still quality and has not glitched in the 3 or 4 years I have owned it. Despite some disagreement from others, I personaly think the original R4 is a lot faster than the A2k and has a longer play time.

If they are sending an R4 for free it will more than likely be a shitty clone anyway. If that's the case you could always use it to fix a wobbly chair or table.

A R4 is still pretty good to have. It has pretty darn good homebrew compatibility. And you could sell one to a noob for like 30 dollars.

I'm a little pissed at gamekool since i bought an Acekard from them cause its better then most and i don't posses a cardreader and the pictures posted of the Acekard i bought clearly showed an usbcard reader.

But when i recieved my package it was in a lousy carton box with just the card in it so it's pretty useless to me,
and they are misinforming the people who buy their products cause its not the product displayed on their webpages.

So i got an Acekard but nothing to put it on my card...
(dont come saying just get a cardreader, your missing the point then

Btw i mailed them about this like 2 weeks ago still no reply, i would say their customer service kinda sucks...

I'm probably mistaken, but I believe that all legit cards don't come with a card-reader. Only the fakes do.

Yup. The new legit carts come in a little cardboard box. You don't need a crappy card reader, anyway. If you do need one, however, you can get 'em for a buck.

that could very well be but its still misinforming potential buyers, the usbstick was one of the key factors i bought it so i wouldnt have to buy myself a cardreader...

Its just a pain in the *** when you get something different then you wanted to order.

It doesn't matter what the picture shows, it matters what it says in the writing and what they said they're giving. Sure the picture's misleading, but it's not illegal.

You do realize that they -sometimes- give USB card readers away for free right?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I bought my card reader off of DX too. That was when I got my first flash cart... that was fun. DSTT + 2GB MicroSD + Card Reader = like around $16

And that was back when the DSTT was actually good o-o
