Software upgrade to play new cards via IC card modification

Background:
Rumour say that Bronze evil Lion can play in Ver 4??

~ We had AK fan who inform that their friends @ Taiwan tested at their Version 4 machine...the result is that this card DOES NOT work !


"Since V2 the Bronze Siegfried already can play .... think i got a photocopied one from Adrian back then ..... so V3 machine can play nothing new .... what i meant is still ‘old’ database ..... it’s not because the Boss upgraded to Siegfried then can play.

they (jap) are not going to change the entire database ... just add-on the new V4 Cards attributes (Ultimate Siegfired, King Cobra, etc) the rest still the same ..... if that being the case why would they specifically include the Evil Lion?

i’m certain parhaps 70-80% the V4 machine cannot play the Bronze Evil Lion ... you can hope for the best in the remaining 20% .... ha ha ... lols

and that’s why i no more buy Jap cards ... cannot play now and even the near future .... must well wait for the local launch .... "

"I was told by an insider that how they upgrade the machine version is simply by a programme IC card.
For a new version, the IC card will contain the codes for the new animal/strong/miracle card that will be launched in that version. Once they load that programme IC card into the machine, then the machine will allow the scanning of those new cards"

Blog Master: AK machine is just a empty case , The staff just have to modify and update the IC card which will control the dispense of the card in the machine. I do not think many new Jap card are playable for coming version 4 ,especially those ultimate cards...may have to wait somemore..

Will the price of Special Ops Leo DROP or RISE after Ver4 launch ?

Background :
A seller is selling SOL + Red Scorpion (v3) for only $65 ...and this super offer had been snaped up within the day..

Another forumer miss out this offer somehow ..this is what he has to say :
"Wow missed out a great deal,So sad, my son have to wait for his SOL hahaha.

Need more of this seller around, so many seller here keep holding on to the card at high price. Good luck o them V4 coming, selling will be more difficult I think. May be have chance to let price fall further, no hurry so can wait long long. haahaha

Seller wait long long, we buyer also wait long long until go tingtong. hahaha. "

On the other hand , The card seller had received nuisance call/sms telling him off for spoilting the market :
"haiz..... some ppl call me siao ... sms and scold me
but nvm la .... I have too many ... rather let ppl who are still trying to complete their set to have it "

SOL and Swift Blow prices will go up eventually…
However, think the market will temporary be flooded with SOL over supply from our neighbours with Malaysia and Indonesia both having Version 3 now…
Corrupted and totally unopen cards deck being smuggled out from arcade centres by staff is not uncommon from those countries.

When the card fully extinct is when it’s cost will double up and most sought after."

Ya. Come on. This is just a game. If there is a seller willing to sell at a low price, then it just means he/she has extra lor. Like stock market, will go up and down. You are lucky you buy at low price, if u willing to buy at the peak when ak is hot, then pay more lor. Nothing to be angry or upset. Please!! This is just a game!!!
~ et209

This is a open market and there are nothing as too ex or too cheap…
if u can sell high then u sell high lah no one can stop u but u also cant complain about other sellers who sell low what…

how high can SOL goes??? most to most $70 thats all…
ver 4 8000/7000 seigfred is enough liao
if i dun have a SOL for instance i will pay max $60 for this card…

some already selling $50-$55 hahahhahaha
~ AKSIAO

The crowd are gone ! ....All waiting for Version 4

"I just went down to the 7-11 store over at toa payoh hub and later the arcade in junction 8...nope...no version 4 machine only lots of empty version 3 machines....

Kinda miss having the kids around...else there is no one to show off any gold cards I got...LOL...ha ha anyway kids nowadays have far more rare cards as compare to a newcomer “ uncle “ like me…

Went back to the countdown for version 4 then....."

Wish "AK Kaiser" have a Speedy recovery!!!

Background : One of our forumer by the nicks of "AK Kaiser" had fallen ill. He is one of the most hardworking and popular card seller whom many people know. Unfortunately he was down with a certain kind of sickness as Stroke...

Here's a get well wish from another forumer ,AKSIAO who had expressed his care and concern:


"Yo bro, this thread is delicated to U as i heard from Lim that what happend to u and u now staying at home resting..

but dun give up on AK lah…

no doubt u cant fish for the time being but as long as u can recovered and health is more important.

to all Ak fans who is reading this thread ..

one of our forumer aka Hung Fei Hong aka Mee Pok Man aka Romeo has fallen down and contracted a dunno what sickness and its similar to what we call STROKE.. and half of his body was somehow paralsyed ...

sorry i dunno really know how to say it in details but maybe those who knows him will know what happened… but it leads me to think that 1 person health is really important cos with $$$ but no health is pointless sigh....

u might not be reading this thread or u totally cut off from AK
but over here i wish u have a speedy recovery and go chiong cards again!!!"

~ AK KAISER

Blog Master: Get well soon ...rest well and play hard (for animal Kaiser) again when you are fully recover , GOD bless !

Released Date for Version 4 (Rumour)

It should be early july...but the launch was delay now due to a printing error @ the cardlist. Currently , the printing company is re-printing the correct copies...rushing to complete in a weeks time.

Hence, the best predict launch date should be around 15 July to 17 July.
Get ready your $$ to prepare to chong all the way !!

Blog Master: Our AK reporters from Indonesia and Philippines also feedback that there is no Version 4 @ their country yet

Mani ,the parrot who predict world cup result

MOVE aside Paul the Octopus, it's time to make way for Mani the Parakeet, Singapore's avian football analyst.

Although Paul correctly predicted Germany's win against England, everyone knows that was just a lucky guess.

Paul is an octopus that lives at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany.

He has attained superstar status for his spot-on World Cup predictions.

But unlike Paul, an amateur living in a world-class aquarium, Singapore's Mani is a working professional, who has to strive hard for his keep.

The plucky 13-year-old parakeet only has a dingy little cage to call home, although he is taken care of with tender loving care.

He and his master, fortune-teller Mr Muniyappan, ply their trade along the narrow five-footways of Little India, awaiting customers.

Their clientele? Curious locals and tourists who want a peek into their future




2 days ago, The New Paper found the prophetic duo along Serangoon Road.

Mani was squawking noisily when this reporter approached Mr Muniyappan with trepidation.We asked: 'Can Mani predict who will win the quarter-final matches of the World Cup?'

No reply from the 70-year-old Mr Muniyappan. The wizened man pointed at the cards in our hands and gestured towards his table.

Game on. First up was Brazil's showdown with Holland.Mani was swift.
He rushed out of his cage without any coaxing from Mr Muniyappan and snapped up the Dutch card.Indeed, a portentous omen for the Samba boys, who are looking to win their sixth World Cup.

Next up was Uruguay and Ghana, Africa's remaining hope in the tournament.
Alas, it looks like Africa will have to wait another four years.
Mani was again swift in his decision, snapping up the card for Diego Forlan's Uruguay before trooping back to his cage.

But it was a different story for Germany and Argentina.

Even when his cage door was opened, Mani stood his ground and only came out after much coaxing from Mr Muniyappan.

Difficult tie

Out of his cage, the parakeet cocked his head as he eyed the cards before him. Somehow he knew that it was a difficult tie which could go into extra time.

After all, even Paul the amateur took some time before picking the Germans to triumph over Argentina.It was a tense few moments as The New Paper team looked on with bated breath.

Eventually, Mani made his decision - he picked up Germany's card, but not before squawking twice confidently.Looks like fans will not get to see a naked Maradona streak through the streets of Johannesburg. Perhaps it is for the better.

The last match-up was another no-brainer for our bird-brained friend.
Mani picked the Spaniards without batting a wing, stamping Europe's authority over their South American challengers, Paraguay.

There you have it, Mani's picks - Holland, Uruguay, Germany and Spain.

Unlike the amateur from Germany, Mani is prepared to risk his reputation on all four results and not just one.

Mani is wrong when it picks Uruguay to win against Holland
However, he pick Spain to win against German. (Result = Spain won by 1-0)
