Hello, need your help. I loaded the Akaio 1.8.1 firmware into my new R4 ultra (i did not install the R4 firmware). But i cant find the system options menu. When i turn on the DS, it will ask me whether i want to load Micro SD or slot 2, so I choose Micro sd, and then I am given only a list of the games I loaded plus MENU_.nds, loaderchangelog.txt and readmeakaio.txt. i extracted everything from the akaio rar file into the micro sd. the other games work fine, but still cant play golden sun ds coz i cant get to disable the AP.I am more familiar with EDGE and this is my first time to use R4 (switched to it coz i wanted to play golden sun).
Please help.

i also tried loading the 1.56 kernel for r4 ultra with the akaio. i still cant find where to disable the AP. I am using a 2gb micro sd

Switch on your DS, then when it has booted up press 'Start' to access the 'AKMenu'. Now select 'System Options' using the d-pad. Press 'A' to select it and then use the R/H shoulder button to change to 'Default Patch Options'. Now select 'Bypass Antipiracy' and change to 'enabled'. This will now mean that you are ready to go.

i tried but i can't play
