So from what I've read, I take it that at this point, EDGE users need to wait for an upgrade or get a new card? I was hoping to wait a few weeks and someone would fix it, but that doesn't seem to be the case seeing as it works on almost everything else.

King_Leo over at the romulation forums is saying that he might have found the AP, and is working on a patch for the Cyclo. So lets root him on!

For those of you still wondering if this works on M3DS Real, it does.

I'll go over exactly what I've done if you want to follow. You may not have to do all of these steps (like reformatting the card), but it's the most recent thing I've done in order to get Super Scribblenauts to work and now this game works as well.

-Copy the contents of your SD card to your PC or Mac and reformat the card, wiping it completely.
-Copy the information back onto your SD.
-Get the newest Sakura firmware and install it
-Download the latest YSM3 and install the TTMenus and YSMenu on the root of your SD
-Put the YSM3.nds in your games folder
-Download the USA version of Golden Sun (the Europe version DID NOT work for me, and I've heard it doesn't work for others)
-Run YSM3.nds and then run Golden Sun. It should work fine.

I was going to say it's a pain in the ass having to run different micro operating systems for individual games (like Wood M3 and YS) but then I realized this is all free so I'm happy to do whatever it takes to make these work.

That being said, I AM going to say that the login disabling feature on GBATemp that makes you wait 11 minutes before trying to log in again IS a pain in the ass.

Good luck.

Another clean version!!!

Golden_Sun_Dark_Dawn_USA_PROPER_NDS-NukeThis

I can confirm that it is NOT working on CycloDS Evolution firmware 1.60 with a high-latency micro sd card. Black screens on normal boot, and hang on stealth boot.

CRC32: 508420E7
MD5: B9CCD41841684CCB279C9AE78B154EA6
SHA-1: 298541E857FFF37C29F45C043E50D3AE7DA00015

Without reports from the other vendors, I can't tell whether the compatibility is actually higher.

It's always worked on the 2i... you just need two things.

1 - Go into the patch options and turn AAP (anti-Anit-Piracy) on.
2 - Your microSD card has to not suck. If you've got a shitty one with bad latency AAP won't work.

The AAP latency issues (for those with shitty microsd cards) will be fixed in AKAIO 1.8.2, which is currently in beta.

Users will be pleased to note that along with this news post we have also updated the downloads section with a new firmware for the EVO which fixes a number of prominent ROM's which users have been requesting lately.

Works fine on mine so far.

Two black screens on my DS Phat using Acekard/AKAIO 1.8.1 w/ AP Bypass enabled.
I have a Kingston 4GB micro SDHC.
Even doubled checked by updating loaders via WiFi as suggested.
Am I doing something wrong here?

i have the same card so im guessing its the cards fault...

BRB throwing card far away

I have had a similar problem with mine, which is the robotkillers version. At first I just got black screens because I didn't know about the bypass anti-piracy option.
Once I enabled that option, I was elated cause I thought it was working as the initializing game loaded, followed by the title screen. I was able to start the game and
was brought to the character select screen and chose the default name and hit ok and then nothing but black screen afterwards.... ><

I'm using an Acercard 2 DSi compatible with AKAIO 1.8.1 with Bypass AP enabled and a Kingston 8 GB SDHC MicroSD card. All other games so far work without issue. I read an earlier post where someone was able to get it to work on a smaller MicroSD card even without Bypass AP enabled. (a 1 GB one). He cited it must have been a latency issue with his larger MicroSD card.
I have a non-HC 2GB MicroSD card and tried putting the Acekard software plus just Golden Sun Dark Dawn with and without Bypass AP enabled and it didn't even initialize, load the title screen, etc.

Maybe this helps someone who has a small HC MicroSD card.

Turn it to "enabled" and look if it works, if it doesnt work then its your SD card since some SD cards isnt as effective on AK2(.1 or i with akaio 1.8.1)
Damn must be the SD card then. I'll format it with the SD Formatter and see if that will make a difference. Thanks.


Actually, I did that and, somehow, turned a micro SDHC card that used to work into one that didn't work. Although my 1gb Kingston works regardless.

I have the same card (class 4). It worked once, but I decided to format the card (since I haven't done so for several months). The result sucked.
Is this SD Formatter from the Acekard website?
