Acekard 2i firmware help!?
A
I've been using my Acekard 2i for about 1½ weeks now using the official firmware 2.14 and noticed some games freeze when I try to save them (Korg DS-10, Pokemon Ranger, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time being a few).I've read the some these games should work fine on AKAIO instead of the official firmware but there will be other games that don't work on AKAIO.Then... Somewhere else I read that you can have AKAIO and the loaders from firmware 2.14 on your SD card (or something like that) and will get the best of both worlds but can't find twhere I read it now :'(So... Is there anyone who could clarify and possibly give me a little walkthrough of how install both (do I need to take all my ROMs and save data off to install AKAIO and will my save files work afterwards?). I had quite a bit of bother with just the official firmware because I'm not too good with these sorts of things :PMuchly appreciated if anyone can help :)

Preety easy.Get your akaio first, install as normal.The from the acekard site find the "akloader" file.Place that into the "loaders" directory in the _aio folder.Before when I done this, animal crossing didn't work, now it does :)
A
That simple, huh? lol Thank you.I don't need to take everything off of SD card first though and put it back on after getting AKAIO do I?
B
Nope, just replace the file in the loaders folder :)

Wooo! Works! Thanks for the info and Kratos loves ya for this :P

Please do not use AKAIO on AK2i.请不要在ak2i上使用akaio的内核
Because the hareware structure of ak2i is defferent from ak2 and akrpg so please use the latest firemware of ak2, version 4.12 , on Ak2i only. Please DO NOT use AKAIO on AK2i before we contact with the authors of AKAIO and resolve it. Thank you for your understanding.
In AKAIO site, there is the information above. Is really secure use the AKAIO in AceKard2i??

It should work, it works fine for me, that is old info.

I've used AKIO from the day I got my Acekard 2i and I can play any game
without problems I can update the firmwire by WIFI (without using my PC).
and I use moonshell to watch anime or listen to music and everything
works perfectly

It messed up again with me and I don't know how so I've ended up using 2 different microSD cards. Got AKAIO on my 8GB and the Official firmware on my 4 GB and if a ROM donesn't work on one... all I do is put it on the other and it's fine... less confusion this way for me seen as I suck at simple technology sometimes :P

Just so you know, the AKAIO firmware has the ability to load the games using the official firmware as well. That's what the loaders are.
http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php?title=AKAIO#Official_AK2_LoaderSo you can use AKAIO and then set the games with issues to load with the official firmware if you want, and not have to swap out MicroSDs.

That's what I did originally but for some reason it screwed up, guess I'm just thick when it comes to this stuff, so I decided to do the 2 MicroSD cards instead :P

If you screw your Firmwire (AKIO in this cause ) I usually do is I backup my games and gamesaves
and music and anime and I reinstall the firmwire in this case it is AKIO.
I've got the AKIO uploaded at mediafire and megaupload just copy this over your SD and AKIO works as it should with the latest loaders. and lots of skins
It also includes Moonshell 2.0 for mp3 and DPG files.

Screw this all: Start from the top.Delete the __aio folder and akmenu4.nds, along with moonshl2 folder, and moonshl2.nds.Replace it with this:
