My acekard is broken because of a game named hakuouki ds. I was playing the game then i push the power button of the dsi and there was no icon appearing in the dsi menu.

 

[narutopet112]

There even no contact issues

I've no idea what else you can do. I believe someome else had the same issue, you could do a search for the thread and ask them if they were able to fix it.

 

[narutopet112]

Wich thread???

 

[narutopet112]

Last thing i want to say is how did you the update with acekard 2i with sd card or without. And if you did with sd card what files was in your sd card

 

[tk_saturn]

You don't need a MicroSD card in the bricked Acekard 2i, it shouldn't make a difference if one is present or not. It won't be reading or writing to the MicroSD card, only on the other cart which is used to launch the update.

Thank you very much

. You help me alot but im not good at these things.

 

[tk_saturn]

From a quick search, it was lokomelo who had the same issue as you, and I believe couldn't fix it.

 

[narutopet112]

Wich r4 firmware you used

 

[tk_saturn]

Wood, I think it also worked with Official V1.18 but I would have to check. However, my cart was bricked from where I was messing around with firmware updates rather than from one of these 512MB games.

If you are stuck, many of your problems can be solved by consulting the AKAIO WIKI It has everything you ever need to know about AKAIO.

I'm going on record by saying that Namco Museum DS, Konami Classics series Arcade hits, Sonic Rush Adventure (Minor screen problem, only the intro is affected), Pac 'n Roll, Mario Hoops, the 2 "Dragon-Ball Origins" games, Yoshi's Island DS, GTA Chinatown Wars, all of the "Ace Attorney"s, Bleach: Dark Souls, Bleach: Blades of fate, Sonic chronicles, and Sega and Sonic All-stars Racing work either perfectly, or with minor problems on a DS lite.

You don't need to record which games work and which don't. Since AKAIO's game compatibility is so high, its generally a given the game will work 100% unless its relatively new in which there is a chance it won't work.

http://www.themolehole.eclipse.co.uk/ak2_guide/backup.zip which is the batch file to back up saves on your comp, from the tutorial is down. could someone re-up? thanks.

 

[tk_saturn]

It's down because I merged it into the save renamer, and added an option to back them upto to a "Backup" folder on the MicroSD card (The backup folder itself is excluded from being backed up)
