    What firmware are you using? Which games does this occur on?

    you might have done the same thing i did which was put the latest loader in the 'akaio loaders' folder when its supposed to go in the 'loaders' folder .HyPnOs told me about it and i changed it and all the games i have work now and the save files work too as before rabbids go home wouldnt work and zelda st didnt create a save file for me and i had to keep starting from the beginning every time i turned my dsi on.

    I had a simialr issue and no suggested fix from any of the forums or support resolved it. My resolution that finally worked was to format it using the Panasonic Formater then I installed AKAIO 1.2 from http://filetrip.net/f2784-AKAIO-1-2.html
    Once 1.2 was installed I updated the loaders to current and all of my games worked. No other version was able to save games for me despite having taken a finctional copy of 1.5 from a friends Acekard. Perhaps something to do with the AceKard2.1. Either way I hope this helps for those that have exhausted conventional solutions

    My AceKard 2.1 just arrived yesterday and I has having the same problem with AKAIO 1.5.1 so I tried the suggestion of khajjah and worked with the 1.2 I was able to save but some games just stay on black screen:

    Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars
    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
    Might & Magic - Clash of Heroes

    Maybe I’ m installing the loaders the wrong way.
    What I did was download the last “ak2loader.nds” and drop it in the “__aio\ak2loader” folder is that the right way to do it?
    Or do I have to anything special when I’m in the AKAIO menu?

    PS: The version 1.2 dos not have the "loaders" folder and i tried to create one and drop the “ak2loader.nds” ther but with the same result

    http://akaio.gbatemp.net/nloaders/ You should use at least AKAIO 1.4.1.

    Thx for your reply but with the 1.4.1 the games don’t even load :(

    1.4.1 doesn't load those games clean, you'll have to use the patches if you are using a firmware that old:

    Thanks I was able to play GTA enabling the cheat with the fix, this with the version 1.2 because the version 1.4.1 does not start the rom even with the cheat.

    the loader go on the _aio/loaders folder not _aio/ak2loader, maybe that's what's keeping you from loading these games.

    Save files are created automatically when you play the games.
    Any specific issues, you need to explain better.

    Also, take a look at our forum rules regarding shorthand like "plz"
