Hacking soft reset problem

[DeathEvil]

Soft reset works for bout 98% of games which is right from what I have been reading, but everytime it resets, the shortcut is gone and clicking on microsd shows empty folder. turning ds of and on of course fixes it. memory was just formatted using sd formatter, latest akaio with latest loaders. Using custom skin (probably dont matter), but I'm suspecting it could be due to 32gb microsdhc sandisk? it works great without the soft reset and I'm loving akaio as well as acekard

it would be sweet if there was an option to reset ds from the akaio menu.

there has been a issue with soft-reset for awhile. i've had it but norm has not been able to reproduce it. it was more wide spread a few builds ago and he made some adjustments in an attempt to fix it.

i experience the exact situation you are describing. i also experience soft-reset taking me back to root, forcing me to dive back into my directories. i've formatted, scanned the card, looked for issues, etc, but have never been able to solve the problem. the real interesting issue is that the same build of akaio (clean and freshly downloaded) works correctly on a different msd card. it seems the problem is msd card related in some way, which would confirm many of the older soft-reset issue reports.

what you should do is really debug the problem. try everything you can think of. test with every patch turned on/off, cheats on/off, different roms, different homebrew, different file structures, etc. if it always behaves the same then perhaps its a deeper issue. akaio.net would be the place to report such a problem, but make sure you have fully debugged. the staff there doesn't like it if you post something without taking the time to debug.

In a way I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one yes soft reset always takes me back to the root as well, only sometimes it works, and sometimes sd card is empty. I tried couple of things like turning of the rumble (since it rumbles every time soft reset engages). I will try to get to the bottom of it by debugging, but chances are someone already encountered the issue and pinpointed where the problem lies - if so please speak up

i encountered this problem yesterday.. and SD formatter 3.1 do the trick !
simply format your microSD without messing up with the option or stuff..
but before you do that,don't forget to backup your Games.

i formatted mine lots of times and sometimes the problem is there, sometimes it is not, and sometimes it returns.

its been this way for the last few revisions of akaio.

same issue here, when I soft reset I'm always sent back to root.
It used to work properly last year, but for some reason it stopped working at some point in time
