here is my equipment.

Acekard with latest AKIAO
M3 Simply with latest Wood R4
EZ-Flash 3 in 1 Expansion Pack
M3 Real GBA Expansion Pack
Cyclo DS

what i want to do is run GBA games from a Slot-1, displaying Different Custom GBA borders, for Each individual game.

Wood, Akaio, GBAExploder, have ONE universal frame that's applied to ALL games, but i want Different GBA games to have different borders per game.

other posts say it can be done, but literally nothing i tried will load the damn frames.

i got frustrated and copied pasted the "ABCD.bmp" into literally every folder and subfolder in my Micro SD. it's in the root, its in /_aio/ its in /_aio/frames, its in /_aio/ui, its in /_rpg/, its in /_rpg/frames, its in _rpg/ui/gbatemp.

its in /_system_/ (for GBAExploder).

the file is correct format. 256 x 192.

it won't load the GBA frame no matter what combination i use, AKIAO, Wood R4, Cyclo DS, With EZ Flash 3in1, with M3 GBA Exp pack, USING GBAExploder, literally nothing works.

from what i understand, the process is (using Doom as an example), highlight a game in Wood/Akaio, press Start, file info, ok it says CODE: ADME. rename the bmp to "ADME.bmp". then place that in /_aio/frames/.

is this right?. what am i doing wrong?

the wiki entry is extremely confusing. what do you rename the border file to?. there is no "internal view" anywhere in Akaio. does it mean file info?. this doesn't explain anything.

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
