AKAIO 1.8.0

AAP works on clean.

Make sure it's CLEAN or PROPER.

Hey guys, when I reset in-game all my settings of the AKmenu returns to default like if it was the first time that you load akaio.

Even the backgroud theme returns to the Black one.

I setted everuthing again, put the Zelda theme and turned off the DS.

Turned on, selected one game, played, and then I soft-reseted it again and all the settings even the Theme returned to default again...

Is someone having the same issue?

Plz help

none of the developers or beta testers have been able to duplicate this. we have determined it is microsd related. it seems some cards are improperly formatted. gparted live seems to fix some issues. there is a link to gparted in the akaio wiki.

Ok, my card is one Kingston 4gb class 4, formatted by Panasonic Formatter, I always use it.
Let's see what gonna happen. I've deleted globalsettings.ini
Turned on my DS. Ok the theme is the black one. Lets go to system options. I'll gnna show the CHANGES that I'm doing: Interface-Zelda, File List Style Internal Name, Trim ROM when copying-Enabled, Cheat Code Usage-Disabled. Now I pressed A and A again to change the theme. Now i'll turn off the ds only to guarantee. Now turned ON. Ok everything is the way that i setted. Loaded mario kard DS. Now i'm gonna press the reset. Oh nooo! The black theme returned and the settings too. :/ I'll disable soft-reset and set to zelda theme. Ok, pressed A and A. Oh my God, i changed settings after resetting and seeing that everything returned to default, now I got blackscreen. I'll turn off the DS. Turned on, my custom settings are ok. Gonna play mario kart. Oh no it froze, black screen.

This thing is strange... I'll let the soft reset disabled, so i'll not reset by mistake and revert my options...

Same here, when I soft-reset, the next game loaded gets a black screen and the only way is turning off the DS.
And I quit on changing skins since AKAIO 1.7 because it gets to the default one on almost every soft-reset.

EDIT: Formatting the microSD didn't work, and Super Scribblenauts with AAP On didn't work either =(

Didn't worked! I'm using the iND release!!!

About the soft-reset issue, I was using Akaio 1.6RC and it used to work perfectly...

OMG what can be goin on?? Reset issues (like sayd above) and the Super Scribblenauts isn't working with me and with the guy with the same resetting issue that I have. I'm stuck at the loop with 5th cell logo, WB logo and so...

I can guarantee that I've formatted my Kingson MicroSDHC 4GB Class 4 with Panasonic Formatter and enabled AntiPiracy Bypass.
I'm using the Super_Scribblenauts_USA_NDS-iND release. Acekard 2.1 HW 80.

Oh my HOLY GOD! Now I tested with one Kingston 1GB Taiwan and EVERYTHING WORKS as they should work, EVEN THE RESETTING ISSUE!!!
Super_Scribblenauts_USA_NDS-iND is working with AntiPiracy enabled, perfectly!!

My 4gb Kingston I've bought it from volumerates.com, maybe it is fake. Chinese site, like DealExtreme.

Scrolling through files with the D-pad seems to be super-fast now regardless of what "Scroll speed" setting you're using, by the way.

Yeah, I really like that.

also, got Super Scribblenauts working -- my dumbass did not turn the AAP on.

I thought it would be automatically enabled. >_> Thanks for the help, guys.

All those having issues on the soft-reset ... as was said before, it is a micro-sd card issue. I had the same problem around AKAIO 1.6RC. Use gparted! For some reason on certain micro-sd cards, Panasonic Formatter will not correctly format these cards and leaves a couple bytes as padding. Use gparted and all your troubles are gone.


Thanks again to all those who work on AKAIO!

Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals (U) doesn't seem to work even with the Anti-Piracy enabled. Still great to finally see an update though

 

[Another World]

for anyone who is experiencing this issue where the settings go back to default after a soft-reset, please do the following.

soft-reset to reset the settings back to default.
connect your msd to the computer and see if globalsettings.ini has been deleted.
if it has write down what you were playing when it happened, what microsd card you use, what class number, what brand, how you formatted it, what options you have enabled in akaio, if you were using cheats, etc, etc, etc.

If I use Gparted just one time and after sometime I use Panasonic formatter, do you think that I'll need to use Gparted to have my SD card properly formatted?

I don't know the answer to that question. I haven't tried to reformat with Panasonic Formatter since using gparted. I'll try it out tomorrow and post then - it's bedtime. If anyone else knows, please respond

.


edit: stupid insomnia. The answer to your question is you will have to use gparted to reformat every time. I just tried to use Panasonic Formatter and after it formatted, windows would claim it wasn't formatted (tried to format with windows, but failed). Reformatted with gparted, and everything is fine. Just tried Super Scribblenauts and it works great. When formatting with gparted, make sure to make it all one partition (mine had a small partition of 4mb which the Panasonic Formatter would not format) and format it to fat32.

How to use gparted...? I mounted it but I don't know how to run it...

 

[SylvWolf]

I'm a bit late to the party, but just wanna say big thanks to the AKAIO team. The firmware's awesome

 

[dekuleon]

I use gparted from a long time ago, but now it isn't working for my SD card. Maybe is the SD and maybe is the adaptor.... it gives 'unrecognized disk label' and it can't format...

I'll try the 'HDD Low Level Format Tool' from HDDGURU. It'll wipe it entirely so i'll need to create partition, for this i'll use panasonic's formatter.

Let's see what gonna happen... (Note that i'm trying to make mine 4gb kingston to work like mine 1gb kingston which is perfect)


EDIT1: 'HDD Low Level Format Tool' gave error, offset errors and so, it couldn't format my SD, maybe it is my adaptor... Gonna try with 'Active@ KillDisk'. This soft is very very great.

EDIT2: My SD is doing bad, i'll buy another today...

You should download the ZIP version from the gparted site and seek the instructions provided by them to create one USB bootable disk with gparted. Then you'll boot it after loading your windows. Make sure you know how to boot from USB, its easy fell free to ask for more help.

 

[IgiveUgas]

I use gparted from a long time ago, but now it isn't working for my SD card.

I know in linux using gparted, you must unmount (eject) the drive before it will allow you to reformat. Just a thought and maybe suggestion for others trying to use gparted.

 

[ericling]

Cool!
This made my day.
Thanks AKAIO team

 

[DaMummy]

but im having soft reset problems on NAND of ak rpg, but yes i formatted with panasonic, ill try gparted i guess later

 

[Rydian]

The gparted disc is a livecd, you can't mount it. You actually have to burn it and boot off of it. In gparted select your SD drive, delete the current partition, then make a new one that's FAT16/32 with 16KB clusters (if it asks that), taking up all the space it can. Apply the changes, then shutdown/reboot (from right-clicking the desktop) to get back into windows.

 

[dekuleon]

greeeat! now i'm using a different microsd and everything is working perfectly!!

i bought one microsd from sony. 2gb taiwan.

i don't need more than 2gb since i allways trimm my roms and it can store many good games.

thanks again for akaio team!!
