Heya guys. Had some weird trouble with my Acekard. Was looking for some insight. Going to be pretty specific, not sure how much is relevant, maybe some known bugs I dont know about?

Have had an acekard 2i for a few years, always been perfect for me never any problems with it in my DS lite.

Recently updated to newest Akaio, and this 1.4.4 fix: http://www.acekard.com/download.php ... (it makes DS think its Rafa Nadal Tennis Game) for my new DSI XL (LOVING IT.. how did I live with the DS lite for so long?)

Have been using the Acekard along with the DSI XL for about a week now. There have been no problems and it worked perfectly.

Played the DSI XL / Acekard about an hour today, playing Space Invaders, and Puzzle Quest Challenge of Warlords. For those familiar with the game, I was making a new rune weapon. Picked my runes, and started the battle, immediately the game froze.

Shut down the DSI XL, menu looks normal / fine is fully functional. Start the acekard, navigate through my games which is fully functional. Start Puzzle Quest, all fine, until I hit "load game" Then the top and bottom screens are now reversed once the game actually starts.

I check my other games on the acekard, they are all messed up too. In some the touch screen goes crazy like Im tapping everywhere as fast as I can.

I checked the DSI XL with a retail Pokemon Black, and it works perfectly. Then I check the Acekard in a DS fat, DS lite, and a different DSI XL, and it works perfectly in all of them.

TL:DR So, I really don't know what happened here. Acekard doesn't work in my DSI XL. The acekard works perfect in all of my other DS systems perfectly including a second / different DSI XL. And the DSI XL that is acting a little funny, works fine with a retail cart. Firmwares for both my DSI XL are 1.4.4

So.. anyone have any info on what may be going on?

And, I figured it out =D

The DSI XL that was giving me trouble has a broken right top button that once you press down stays down. Once I lifted it back up, the games work perfect again.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
