v0.9.0
6408190

  • Introduce two new dual 3D modes. They are resilient and they will always show
    the same output on both screens even if the framerate drops. This isn't the
    case with the previous dual 3D mode.

  • Fix 2D projection used to display 3D sprites. The Y coordinate didn't work
    correctly for numbers close to 192. This means that an ugly hack to apply an
    offset to the texture coordinates of 2D polygons is no longer needed.

  • Fix initialization of the library. Sometimes, depending on the loader, the
    game would start in a different time in the screen rendering cycle. This would
    swap the images of the screens until the framerate dropped when loading
    assets, for example.

  • The code that switches between screens in dual 3D mode has been more reliable.
    Nitro Engine now swaps screens after they are actually drawn, not in the
    vertical blanking interrupt handler, when it switched every frame even if no
    new frame had been drawn by the game.

  • Switch a lot of assert() in the library into permanent runtime checks. Several
    functions now return error codes instead of not returning any value.

  • Use safe DMA copy functions if the libnds of the toolchain provides them (they
    are only available in BlocksDS at the moment).

  • The library now supports sending display lists to the GPU in different ways to
    work around a hardware bug in the ARM9 DMA when it is set to GFX FIFO mode.

  • Fix debug build of the library.

  • Fix build of the NFlib template with devkitPro libraries.

  • Update examples and add some more, particularly about comparisons between dual
    3D modes.
