v0.15.0: Return of homebrew compatiblity

Credits: ahezard, Gericom, Apache Thunder, RocketRobz, _catcatcat, shutterbug2000, and damianoamatruda.

Instructions:

1. Download the .7z file.
2. Extract both .nds files, to sd:/_nds.
3. Extract the .ver file to sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu.

What's new?

• Homebrew compatibility is back! Compatibility should be more or less the same as on v0.0.3.
  NOTE: This currently does not work with SnemulDS, due to it having a different interrupt dispatcher from libnds-compiled homebrew.

Bug fixes

• Fixed returning to TWiLight Menu++ with L+R+DOWN+B for 2 secs, if v7.1.0 or later is installed.
  This feature will no longer work with TWiLight Menu++ v7.0.0 or prior, unless if the TWiLight Menu++ CIA from v7.1.0 is installed.
• Fixed save issues in some games that didn't have them before.
  Some games may still have the issue, even with the fix implemented (ex. DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2).

Regression

• GBARunner2 now doesn't work. Use TWiLight Menu++'s GBARunner2 feature, as an older version of nds-bootstrap is used there.

  As a result, lags in GTA Chinatown Wars are now minimal.
• In addition, load speeds are now much faster in SDK5 games!
  As a result, there's no more overworld lag in Pokemon B&W 1&2!

Bug fixes

• To work around the crashing while loading SNES Choco Island, Mario Kart DS is no longer loaded into RAM on 3DS consoles.
• Fixed soft-reset not working on DSi consoles with HiyaCFW.

Instructions:

1. Download the .7z file.
2. Extract the .nds file, to sd:/_nds.
3. Extract the .ver file to sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu.

3DS users will not need this, if one already has v0.12.3 installed.

Bug fix

• Fixed the L+R+START+SELECT and L+R+DOWN+B combos not working properly after installing Unlaunch 1.8.
