    I just got my Acekard 2.1 and added the Akaio firmware 1.5.1. Added the new akloader into the loader folder. When I play games they freeze after the first few loading screens (Game name, maker name etc...). I've tried reformatting and starting new. I have no option of changing the loader to the akloader instead of the akaio in the game settings.

    When I put the akloader in the akloader folder as opposed to the loader folder I can change the settings to load with akloader and the games work great. Problem is when I save a game, go to game title and shut down ds, the akaio wont load back up. I just get the loading screen... I've tried this with several games.

    Harvest Moon Sunshine Island (U)
    MySims Kingdom (U)
    New Super Mario Bros (U)
    Rune Factory 2 (U)
    Super Mario 64 DS (U)
    Scribblenauts (U)

    I've tried changing the settings and enabling everything: cheats, DS download play, Soft rest. No go. I haven't tried disabling them yet. Also changed the save slot to 1 as opposed to default... It just wont save the games or let me shut the game down after saving and reload the akaio.

    Should I try Akaio 1.4? Or the Acekard firware? I am extracting the 2 files to the root. And games into a Games folder in root.

    Edit: I've also tried Akaio 1.5 and disabling everything: cheats, ds download play etc. Reformatting with vista and Panasonic formatting various times

    I got it working by installing v1.4.1 then upgrading to v1.5.1 and putting the akloader into the akloader folder. The games don't freeze and they save. Tried the akloader in _aio/loader but it still didn't let me change the options for loading it with akloader instead of akiao. Works when I put it in the akloader folder though on root. o_O;

    Only so far on New Super Mario Bros it doesn't say their is a save in the game (File 1) but when you load File 1:New game it loads the sav anyways. Did that make sense?

    I had a similar problem when I put that nLoader file into the folder-it stuck at loading.There are 2 x other files in that folder-and someone said to delete them.

    No-one either knows or will confirm if you need/or its better to delete the 2xfiles in the loader folder for AKAIO.

    What happens if you dont delete the akloader+akploader files from there-does it cause a conflict.I was sure my card wouldnt work because I didnt delete them.In all the guides Ive read,no-one has said to delete that 2 x files......

    Ah. I was having trouble with saving games but that could be because I put akloader in the akloader folder. I deleted the files in loaders and added the akloader to the loader folder. Will see if that helps with the saving games

    I have today got 3 Acekards 2.1 - and they all stick after the intro of the game. Looks like its something with the save function that causes it. I have tried several versions of AKAIO, but no luck. The SDHC card is working perfect on my other cards. I received 2 Acekards 2i a month ago, and had no problems with those.

    Could it be something with the hardware? Meaning an error with the Acekards 2.1?

    I bought them at DealExtreme.

    I would not make sense to install latest firmware, because it is so outdated.

    Can anyone help? :(

    I had the same problem and couldn't find a fix so they're sending me a free replacement. In the meantime I spend a little more money at realhotstuff.com for an acekard 2i

    Lizz - did you try to delete the two mentioned files in the Akaio loaders?

    Or was that a dead end?

    Yes I tried doing that and it still didn't work. I got the games to work but still no saving. To get the games to work I downloaded Akaio 1.4.1 and an old loader for it. Still it would not save and I reformated many times. Tried different firmware, different loaders. Getting rid of the cheats file.

    Hm OK - in another forum I heard somebody using firmware ak2_407_a15 - this should make the games run and able to save.

    However this is an old release, so you will not be able to play the newer games asfor example Inside Bowser Story.

    So this will not be a solution for keeps.

    I have also just written to DX - so we will see if it helps with new cards. I wonder if the newest Acekard 2i sold also is coursing trouble?

    I also saw that someone did that but I haven't tried it yet. I just bought a new ak2i from realhotstuff.com after having trouble with the ak2 from dealextreme and I have no problems with it so I think it may have just been the ak2 having problems.

    I recieved the ak2i in about a week but then again I live 6 hours from the place that sent it. It cost $24 with free shipping o_O;

    I sent dealextreme a request for replacement on the 8th. They replied on the 12th telling me to check their forums for a solution. I replied back right away saying I could not find a solution. They replied on the 13th saying they were shipping out a free replacement. =D

    OK - thanks for info - I live in Denmark, so that is a little further :)

    I guess I will wait for them to ship some new ones, and if that doesnt work, the will just have to give me some AKi's. The only bad thing is the looooooooong delivery time from them :-\

    Oh yea. I heard they had a long delivery time and thought I could wait since it was cheaper but I was so impatient
