  • Subdirectories now only display ".." at the top of the file tree. The "." directory entry is not useful (as it just causes you to navigate to the current directory you are already in).
  • TTMenu folder now a possible alternate path for gbaframe.bmp if gbaframe.bmp is not found in the other possible locations.

  • Fix mistake that caused DS mode Slot-2 booting to not work. (accidentally removed needed arm7 code in previous commit after optimizing code relating to Rumble Menu softreset)

  • Soft Reset for Rumble Menu fixed. New scheme is now used for loading SoftReset.xxxx. Now instead it will look for R4TF.nds (R4TF = 4 character ioType code for DLDI user is currently using with R4TF as an example). If not found it will look for a few specific NDS files to try. If those aren't found it will try boot.nds. If boot.nds isn't found then rumble menu will not be available.

  • NorFlash read/write now working for 3 in 1 Plus! Big thanks to cory1492 for he had managed to make available the version of source code of gbaldr that had the code needed to make this work. Also thanks to stl25 for helping test 3in1 Plus support as I do not own a 3 in 1 Plus myself.
  • 64MB roms appear to write to NorFlash correctly with 3 in 1 Plus however note that this does not mean retail roms that used that size will work (not without patching anyways). 3 in 1 Plus had 64MB NorFlash but doen't use normal page switch commands so retail roms will need patching to use this.
  • r4tf bool set to false for SuperCard and Rumble menu disabled for SuperCard. Program would crash if user attempts to use R shoulder button to access rumble menu if a SuperCard is inserted and a NDS file for soft reset was available. This has been fixed by disabling this menu for SuperCard. The rumble menu will not work as intended for SuperCards anyways.
  • Soft Reset for rumble menu is currently broken. (has been since initial rebuild). The method the program uses for loading NDS files likely needs to be rewritten.
  • Hitting X after flashing a game to NorFlash on 3 in 1 Plus may cause hang. The game flashed will still be bootable provided the user power cycles the console and boots the card as normal. No plans to fix as I'm unsure why it's happening and it's a minor issue. Hitting X after switching to NorFlash without flashing anything seems to still work though. Feel free to create a push request if you managed to fix this. ;)

  • Initial rebuild to new libnds.
  • Add new error message for detecting if run on DSi/3DS consoles as this program isn't really compatible with those consoles for obvious reasons.
  • Add initial support for SuperCard Lite (and possibly other SuperCard varients). Note that saves are not currently functional though.
  • Add back initial support for EZ Flash 3 in 1 Plus. Note that NorFlash commands appear to not be working at the moment. RAM mode untested. New code added for detecting 3 in 1 Plus when detecting max allowed file size. This should allow writing 64MB gba roms to 3 in 1 Plus...once NorFlash stuff is fixed that is. :P
  • Tested as working properly with regular EZ Flash 3 in 1 carts.
  • Note that version 0.58 already exists but we do not have source code for it. (source was released only for 0.57. Rudolph could not find the last version's source code unfortunately. This is why 3 in 1 Plus support is incomplete. (it at least detects it now which original 0.57 could not do and will in theory allow writing 64MB GBA roms once NorFlash stuff is fixed for that cart)
