I have acekard 2i with akaio and I can't play these 2. On kingdom hearts I select new game and it never goes from there and it gives a strange continuous noise. On Dragon Quest I enter the place where with the mist, the 3 party members are teleported (or vanished or w/e the bad guy does to them) and after that I'mm back to the beginning where he wakes up.
Get the latest AKAIO (1.8.6a I believe). Sounds like you're more than a little behind with your firmware.
