    Acekard 2i Not working?

    Hi I just brought an Acekard 2i and have installed akaio 1.8.6a from the acekard website but none of the roms i use will work. The card will load up but when I choose a rom the game loads and the screen either goes white or black. Sometimes it will display nintendo boot up logo. I've tried two different Micro SD cards and the same things happens with both. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks.

    Have a look at this thread fella some useful advice in it

    Make sure your cards genuine as there are clones knocking about. Acekard Anti-Counterfeit Code Check or compare Acekard | AK | AK+ | AK2 | AK RPG | AK2i | Acekard 2i | Acekard 2| NDS Flash Cart | www.acekard.com | Acekard official site scroll down

    Where did you get it from?

      I got the card R4i Gold 3DS | R4i Gold 1.4.1 | R4 3DS Card | R4 3DS UK | R4i Gold Wood | 3DS R4 Gold

      as far as i can tell the card is real though i don't know if i should take the anti counterfeit sticker off as if i send the card back the company can say i've been tampering with it?

          Been playing around a bit more and have some updates.

          Metal Slug 7 will load but plays extremely slow.

          Metroid Prime will load very slowly and then crash.

          GTA Chinatown tried a few times would just get a black screen. Just now the game loaded and then froze on the intro just as the lead character gets shot in the head.

          Is it possible that the problem is with the Micro SD card? I've tried two differents ones a cheap 2gb PNY and the 8gb Sans Disk that I bought with the card. Could both of these cards be to slow or shouldn't that matter?

            did you format sd cards with a proper formatting tool?

            use this to format both sd cards.

            Digital Kaos - Downloads - sd formatting tool

            then get your firmware from here

            Digital Kaos - Downloads - akaio 1.8.6a

            once you have done that download a couple of older roms from here.

            see how ya go with that...

                            I've made a video of the problems i'm having with it.

                            [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x65c7cVX7zA"]YouTube - Acekard 2i - Not Working[/ame]

                            Sent the company an email yesterday about 3 o'clock with a link for the video (which they'd asked for) and asking about a replacement and heard nothing back from them. Usualy they email you back the same day but could it be because it's friday they've finished for the weekend or could they be ignoring me?

                              hi m8,
                              ive had a look at your video, the only diffrence i see to your setup is the games been in folders,.

                              just to make absolutely sure:

                              format your sd card again.

                              download this rar file and extract it straight to your sd card.

                              do not put anything into folder, just leave it as it is.....

                              this is firmware and a couple of roms from my sd card, an older one and a newer one,
                              just to make sure m8.....

                              let us know how you get on...
