    I know this seems a bit late, but I really need this to work for me.
    Let me explain:
    In order to play some of the newer games, I got the AKAIO 1.5 on my Acekard 2i. I deleted the other firmware (the offical Acekard one) and I loaded the AKAIO on my card. When I began to play the games that had been on the Acekard prior to the upgrade of AKAIO, I noticed that my sav files, while still on the memory stick, did not play. So I had to start all over on all my games. :(
    Now my friend wants me to help her get AKAIO 1.5, with the same prior circumstances as I had. How do I do it so that the sav files don't just stop working??

    It's because AKAIO 1.4 uses .nds.sav files, and AKAIO 1.5 .sav.
    Press the start button, go to the System Options, then "File System Settings". The last one is Save Ext. Change it to .sav. :)

    Thank you!

    I also have another question. I've done that with mine and now I have my files back. YAY :D
    But I have some files on nds.sav and some on sav. Is it possible to convert them all to one?

    Just rename the file from nds.sav to .sav. :)

    thanks this answered my question as well (would my no$gba .sav work on akaio with out modification).

    You would need to convert the save-file using http://shunyweb.info/convert.php

    wait so i still have to use that converter? So i would choose source format no$gba and then target format acekard2? i assume i pick acekard 2 because there was no option for akaio.

    I got a similar problem and tried that on my acekard sav to load on no$gba, but all my other games even pokemon do work Except for Phantasystar zero sav

    Edited
    I meant my SAV from my flashcart too the Emulator does not work with PSZ yet HGSS and all others work fine, why?

    That sucks, me, my brother, and friend all ordered our Acekard 2's from Dealextreme, we all got ours around 10 days after we each ordered them.

    Ordered mine on a thursday, it got shipped on a monday, then came i think the following monday, same thing happened with my bro and friend, we ordered ours on the same day, but different weeks.

    i guess you ordered at the right time XD, btw how is your card holding up? i heard they have the tendency to "die", also how is the micro sd reader that comes with the acekard? i heard those tend not to work.

    LMao don't fret i just thought it was amusing, kinda like how the Geek Squad charges around a hundred bucks to set up a gaming console, anyway i wouldn't be buying from gamebygame at the moment anyway since i already paid for my acekard on deal extreme, although if i woulda know it would take this long i would have forked over the extra 10 bucks on another site......................>:eek:

    sorry about dealextreme bro.......ordering stuff from half way 'round the world can be nerve racking,but i trust them if thats any consolation...ive never been burned by them,but to find wierd stuff you cant get in the states there the best site around despite what said of never again.....be well and god bless
