Included in TWiLight Menu++ v27.11.0

Instructions:

  2. Extract the nds-bootstrap .nds and .ver files, to root:/_nds/.

What's new?

  • B4DS mode: Re-added support for 16KB DLDI drivers, and for the first time ever, 32KB DLDI drivers are now supported!
    • This basically means that old flashcards such as the N-Card will now work with nds-bootstrap! (Thanks to @ApacheThunder for testing!)
    • libnds32 (by @lifehackerhansol) is used along with shrinking the game's heap (starting with SDK 2.1) in order to achieve this. (See "Known bug".)
  • Some games will now have ROM data pre-loaded after boot instead of before boot, speeding up boot times for such games.
  • B4DS mode: Two ROMs will now have some data pre-loaded into the Memory Expansion Pak before boot (Base 10 & Sonic Rush Adventure) in order to reduce screen flickering and slightly improve speed!
  • B4DS mode: In an attempt to reduce crashing in the following DSiWare titles, the DLDI driver has been moved to ITCM to make as much of the console's 4MB of RAM available as possible.
    • AiRace: Tunnel (limited up to 16KB DLDI drivers)
    • Need for Speed: Nitro-X (limited up to 16KB DLDI drivers)
    • Orion's Odyssey
    • Phantasy Star 0 Mini
    • Picture Perfect: Pocket Stylist
    • Tales to Enjoy!: Little Red Riding Hood
    • Tales to Enjoy!: Puss in Boots
    • Tales to Enjoy!: The Three Little Pigs
    • Tales to Enjoy!: The Ugly Duckling

Bug fixes

  • Added ROM pre-load settings for MegaMan Battle Network 5: Double Team DS (Undub) on DSi consoles to reduce slowdown in the opening intro.
  • B4DS mode: Fixed a long-standing bug (since v0.73.0) which caused SDK5.5 DSiWare titles containing cloneboot (ex. Box Pusher) to not boot.
  • Fixed an overlooked bug which caused KORG DS-10+ Synthesizer to not boot in DSi mode on DSi consoles.
  • B4DS mode: Fixed VS mode in Base 10 causing a crash.
  • @lifehackerhansol: Minor improvements.

Known bugs

  • Some games may not boot with 16KB or 32KB DLDI drivers (used by N-Card or a few other old flashcards). If you are playing a DSiWare title on DS or DS Lite, make sure to set Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals as a donor ROM in order to reduce crashing.
  • 32KB DLDI drivers are not supported outside of B4DS mode.
