Missing Anti-Piracy Patches

Ace WoodR4 1.62 is known to have issues with anti-piracy checks in a few newer games, notably with clean roms of Pokemon Black & White 2, where EXP gain gets disabled by AP detection.

To fix this issue, tap the Y button in the WoodR4 menu with the game highlighted, open the cheats menu, and enable the Bypass Anti-Piracy cheat before starting the game.

AceOS Kernel Package

AceOS is a version of the kernel that includes a custom start menu allowing you to boot into various preloaded emulators, apps, and hypervisors; GBARunner2 and 3, GameYob, NesDS, Moonshell2, and others.

To set it up, follow the AOS readme.

All carts that are supported by Ace WoodR4 will be able to AceOS as well.
