Kind of, it could run a gba emulator, but not a backup of a gba cart. for that you want a EZ Flash to go with your Acekard/R4. Basically most flashcarts can do homebrew (emulators) and backups of DS games, iPlayer cannot do DS backups, but can play video slightly better than Moonshell (homebrew any card can run). The EZflash is pretty much needed to access the built in gba emulation native to the DS (unless you have a dsi)

I'm gonna need both an Acekard 2i and iPlayer DS if I want to run emulators, correct? You should be able to run emulators just fine using an Acekard 2i with the AKAIO firmware (use AKAIO over the official its leaps and bounds better and updates more frequently; that is unless you get one of those weird cards that only take that one special version of the official firmware. If you order from a well known seller you shouldn't run into that problem.) I'm not sure what that iPlayer thing is (I haven't followed DS homebrew for a while) but it seems like its another homebrew cart that specializes in video playing specifically. It also seems to run some homebrew, but the Acekard probably does it better. Just get the Acekard. e: Red_Mage posted:Kind of, it could run a gba emulator, but not a backup of a gba cart. for that you want a EZ Flash to go with your Acekard/R4.

I'd also reccomend getting the Acekard over the R4. Acekard is excellent when you have AKAIO running on it, and spending the extra few bucks on it now compared to the R4 will save you many headaches in the future. tony police fucked around with this message at 09:08 on May 18, 2010 |

I upgraded to the Acekard2i after I was disappointed with the M3i Zero. So much better. I think I can live without real-time saving.

Not to start an argument, I just want to find out if I need both the Acekard and the iPlayer, or if I'm all set with just one. The systems I'm looking to emulate are NES, SNES and GB/GBA btw.

From the bit that I messed with it, the SNES emulator for DS isn't even worth trying. It's awful. You're best off getting a PSP or a Wiz if you want SNES. I haven't tried an iPlayer to see how the GBA emulation is, but as far as I'm aware it's the only thing that does GBA emulation on the DSi.

SuperCard DSTWO is released today. Among the features is a built in GBA-emulator plus a SNES-emulator on the way and an ingame hex-editor. I've used the DSOne for a couple of years and I'm very pleased with it. Certainly going to pick up this as well. http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/dstwo/

dantheman650 posted:That's where I ordered mine from as well. It came in today and I'm curious to see if I'll have the same issue as you. How did you find out what version you had? Did you just try different OFW versions until it worked? Is your MicroSD card SDHC? If so try a newer reader. Anyway if AKIO, 4.21, and whatnot doesn't work, you need to use 4.22 Official Firmware. To be honest you overpaid if you ordered a MicroSD card from the seller. Going into pretty much any electronics store will net you a 4 gig for around $10-$15.

So, I have an old R4 card that's obviously long in the tooth these days. I finally decided to replace it with a newer card, and figured the Acekard 2i was the best bet because it's compatible with both my current DSphat and a DSi if I ever upgrade. After I ordered the Acekard, I stumbled across Wood R4. How did I miss that this was developed? It's awesome and basically solves all the issues I was having with my R4. The Acekard has already shipped, which means I'm stuck with it. Tell me, goons, other than the ability to use it with a DSi if I ever upgrade, what can I do with the Acekard that I couldn't do with an R4 running Wood?

Non-clone R4s can't handle SDHC so that means no cards bigger than 2 GB will work. AceKard handles up to at least 16 GB.

I looked into it more and yeah apparently it does do GBA emulation (from what I read it runs at full speed but you have to put on 2-frame skip so it's not perfect), but with the recently released Supercard 2. I've also read that the Supercard's GBA emulation is just a modded version of the one on the iPlayer, so we'll have to see how it plays out and if it ever gets updated because darkchen hasn't updated the GBA emulator for the iPlayer in 9 months. It looks like its at the same spot as SNES emulation: proof of concept is finished, now they just need to work on compatibility and efficiency. I dunno GBA emulation isn't a big deal for me since I just have a regular DSl

I know other flash cards have had hardware emulation for NES and similarly weak systems, but this is the first to have good enough hardware to support GBA and SNES, right?

They released B.2 on the 14th: I've been using the new beta since B.0, and there are two things I really really like about it: first, you can bookmark games/homebrew apps to the main screen (it puts a row of up to 7 icons [the file's internal icon] each above and below the three main icons) and you can set cheats to not prompt you every single time you start the game (in fact, not prompting you is default now.) I also like that you can customize the enhanced menu and auto-boot hotkeys from inside the interface now rather than manually editing the INI.

Has anyone had their CycloDS conk out on them, yet? My fiancee's just stopped working (DS won't detect it at all). I've tested out the card slot- it works fine. I'm 100% sure the CycloDS cart is dead. It's a shame- she barely used the thing.  Anyone know if I have any exchange/return options if I got it from realhotstuff?

Ok, So since I last posted about my M3i Zero flashcart I ordered an Acekard2i, but I cant get it to load either. It always says "System File is Missing" even though I have downloaded and extracted the latest versions of Aikio (1.62) the 2i Loader, and the DS 1.4 Aikio firmware update as instructed on GBA Temp. Still nada. I've tried two different Micro SDHC cards (Sandisk 4/8GB formatted to both FAT32/16) and have even tried installing previous versions. Im at the end of my rope but after sinking $70+ into this I am determined to find a solution. Can anybody help please?

After about a week of not playing my DS, my Acekard 2i is suddenly not working. My DSLite just says there's no game. I've taken both the Acekard and the memory card out over a dozen times and it still doesn't recognize it. I looked up counterfeit cards online and it's a real one. I'm also out of the 30 day return policy.

Try putting tape or a piece of post-it or something on the label side near the end with the DS interface contacts, and see if it loads.

Darth l33t posted:Mother 3 is a GBA game, not homebrew. You'll need a DS Phat or Lite and a 3-in-1 to play it, and also some sort of slot-1 flashcart to load the ROM onto the 3-in-1 (if you have a friend with a flashcart, you can have them load it on, at which point you can just treat the 3-in-1 like a GBA cart). Yeah, poor phrasing on my part. Okay then, I'll probably end up buying a Lite instead of an XL even though the XL would be better for my freakishly large hands. Want to play Mother 3 on hardware, seems to lag too much on my computer for me to do any decent combos.

There's also a few DSi-compatible flash carts with a built-in CPU for GBA emulation. I believe the Supercard DS Two is one of them. I don't know how well Mother 3 will run on it though.

I did some research using  . Apparently MOTHER 3 runs flawlessly on the SuperCard DSTWO (source), and this seems to indicate it'll work on an iPlayer (source (not very solid)). The iPlayer only runs homebrew and GBA software, so you should not choose it anyway if you're interested in running backups.

I just got a DSTT and so far it works great, but there are some games which don't work right or just won't boot up. Is it a problem with the software of the card or the game file itself? if it's the card, what's the latest software for it?

It's the software, the company that makes it basically ignores it now. The last firmware they put up was a beta of a 3rd party revision. Install that firmware, then just Google the name of the latest one that doesn't work and you should be able to find third party files that fix it and the older ones. DSi Enhanced games still aren't working on it period AFAIK, but there aren't many of those, and even fewer worth playing.
