Acekard Announced!

New slot 1 DS backup kit







A new contender to the new generation of slot 1 DS backup kits has been announced - the Acekard.



As you can clearly see, the Acekard is currently still in prototype stages, but a list of features have been announced. Let's take a look:
  • "NDS real card size
  • Uses micro SD cards
  • Works on any model DS
  • FlashMe/PassMe not required
  • Low power consumption
  • Supports clean ROMs - no patching
  • 100% compatible with all games
  • No slowdowns in game"
No more information is currently known, but we'll update you as soon as we get it!

Nice. A new slot-1 flashcard. Looks like things will be heating up in the slot-1 scene:)
Speaking of which, why does the feature list sound to similar to the DS-Xtreme? If it does support the touted features, then DS-Xtreme will have some tough competition:)
Here's hoping it's not one of those flashcards released only in asia...

Alright, a slot 1 card with SD storage, now that looks interesting.



Well, it uses SD for memory and they say it won't require patching, so I say it's interesting, dslink have no passme capabilities and needs patching, dsxtreme has no expandable memory so...
Exactly, but whether or not this product will see the light of day outside of China, and offer continuous updates/support is the deciding factor!

As long as the roms in fact don't need patching I think continuous updates won't be that needed.

This is obviosuly the best solution but I'm not getting my hopes up on the no slowdown/no patching part. I'll believe it when this product delivers its claims. But if it does, I'll be first in line for a couple of them.

what's with all these posts like micro sd on slot 1 is a new thing, it's long out guys and it's called a ds-link. what's special about this are the other claims.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
