So far only the Acekard 2i has been cloned. All known Acekard 2, 2.1, and R.P.G. kits are real. The Acekard 2i's old design used a shell with a window cut out for the chip. During this stage of production the Actel chip was used. Acekard no longer produces the 2i with these features. The new generation of Acekard 2i carts have a flat back with no "window" and a small 48-pin thin controller chip called the "SST 39vf1681." However, in some cases the Actel chip can be found in a shell with no "window." The Acekard 2 may use the SST chip or other chips but they are all 48-pin chips.

Conclusion:

  • The chip on the back of the PCB is "Actel" or little black glue circle (this is very important).
  • The chip on the front side of PCB is a 48 pins "SST" chip.
  • Some batches of AK2 used other 48 pins chips, but they're all 48 pins.
