    ugh. sorry.
    i bought today. at 1,100 pesos or 24.06 usd
    an acekard 2. and it says. DSI compatible.
    and its black and has no bumps.

    i only need to set up the akaio thingy..

    Edit: Quick format only right?
    and.. can you give me the specific that i will download?

    thanks a lot. sorry for disturbing.

    Edit again: is it just me or my acekard2i is slower than my r4i pocket?

    Make a folder on your computer and move all of your save files and roms from your microSD card to it. Now you should reformat your card using the Panasonic formatter, then reinstall a fresh version of AKAIO 1.5 on your mircoSD card. After that install the latest loaders in the _aio/loaders directory. Make a folder titled "Games" on your mircoSD and place all of your roms and save files there. IMPORTANT: make sure the the save extensions for all of the save files are the same or else it will appear that all of your save files are lost (EX. Pokemon.sav or Pokemon.nds.sav). Load the AK 2i and press the start button, go to System Properties, click the right trigger two times, and scroll down to the save extension option and make sure that it is set to what you currently have, as sometimes when reinstalling AKAIO the preferences can change. Enjoy,
    miros

    PS- It is just you, the AceKard 2i should blow the R4i pocket out of the water compared in performance

    thanks. Ive downloaded that but i did not put it in my acekard2i.. but i can play games..
    so. what is loader for?

    another question:
    and.. here. i will give example cuz i cant explain.
    example : i save a file to "Ace Attourney.nds" and then an "Ace Attourney.sav" file will display...
    my question is.. when I rename it to "Ace Attourney1.nds", do i need to rename the save file to?
    and.. will it work?

    A loader, I'm pretty sure it updates you AK2i's bootloaders or something like that, which increases game capability.

    Yeah, the .SAV file needs to be the exact same name.

    ill try to change again my ace attourney.. cuz im on the stage 3.. then i learned about the dsi. changed alot in mem stick and r4i to acekard2i.. then.. it somewhat. didnt read the sav file.

    No, it adds extra compatibility. You can update the internal loader so that the Acekard 2i will work on a DSi with 1.4 firmware. Read this tutorial. https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=21995.0

    You need a DSL or a DSi on a firmware lower than 1.4 to update the Acekard 2i.

    The tutorial I linked shows you how to update. https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=21995.0 You can use your existing DSi.

    Does the Acekard 2i have better cheat support than the R4i?

    Wait, do you want to upgrade you DSi???? If so this is how:
    -Go to System Settings
    -Go to Page4
    -Click on "System Update"

    Yes
