| 9 | +!!! info |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + The Galaxy Eagle is a clone of the Acekard 2i. Unfortunately, it's not a very good clone, and neither AKAIO nor BL2CK work properly on it. While BL2CK boots, it will freeze on a white screen when attempting to load any commercial ROM file. Therefore, AKMenu-Next is the recommended primary kernel for it, so that nds-bootstrap can be used to load games. As an alternative option, the stock kernel is also provided, but it will likely be able to run less games than AKMenu-Next. |
