What's new?

  • LRU cache size now takes up almost the whole extra RAM space after the first 4MB!
    • The ROM pre-load size limit has also been affected to do the same.
  • When starting an NTR-type game in DSi mode, the heap size is now increased from 4MB to 8MB!
    • Useful for some ROM hacks that somehow go above the normal heap size.
    • Due to a limitation of SDK2.0, it does not affect games made with that SDK version.
  • Main screen setting is now saved per-game.

B4DS mode

  • Added support for 39 more DSiWare titles to be playable on DS/DS lite (plus 7 more for debug consoles)!
    • Scroll down to see which titles are now supported.
    • Click >here< for the full list of supported titles.
  • Any SDK5 DS game can now be set as a Donor ROM to run DSiWare!
    • Useful if you don't have an existing ROM dump of a DSi-Enhanced game.
    • Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (currently known to be the only SDK5 game to contain a VRAM-WiFi type of arm7 binary) is required by certain DSiWare titles (listed below) to use much memory (aka RAM space) as possible. On debug/dev consoles, it is not required.
      • If it's the only game set as a Donor ROM, DSiWare which use wireless will be unable to use those features.
    • Ubongo is the only DSiWare title which still specifically requires a DSi-Enhanced game to be set as a Donor ROM.
  • Picture Perfect Hair Salon, one of the few DSi-Exclusives released on cartridge, is now playable on DS/DS lite!
    • Audio does not play outside of debug/dev consoles.

  • The Europe/Australia & Japanese versions of Bejeweled Twist are now supported!
    • Europe/Australia version requires Lufia set as a Donor ROM.

Bug fixes

  • For TWL-type games running in DSi mode on DSi consoles, heap shrink has once again been reduced (by 256KB), leaving only 256KB of heap being shrunk.
    • This should fix more crashes in some of those games.
  • Fixed & optimized card ID start offset search.
    • This fixes certain games not booting the first time, and/or with card read DMA turned on.
    • This seems to fix game compatibility on certain flashcards.
  • The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer now boots!
  • Other minor fixes.

B4DS mode

  • The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: Anniversary Edition now plays audio outside of debug/dev consoles!
    • Additionally, the crash when completing a stage and before saving data is now fixed!
  • Fixed Oscar in Toyland 2 crashing after completing a stage.
  • Flipper now plays music outside of debug/dev consoles!
  • The title screen in Robot Rescue no longer shows a black stripe on the bottom screen.
  • Certain AP-fixes now work without a Memory Expansion Pak!
