USB HDD Fix (Trying Fixing Crash on Launch)
Some user reported he can't boot with hard drive since alpha 0.65
NullDC4Wii checks if the console has enough memory before starting
If it runs out of memory, it won't instantly crash or reset to the Homebrew Channel; instead, it will pause on an error message telling you exactly how much memory is missing.
4 MB reclaimed
Reclaimed 4 MB of Memory: Freed up 4 MB of RAM for most performance settings (restoring previous performance from version 0.64). This 4MB was needed is some presets are change during game (mostly something CACHE preset related).
Since we don't have a menu (yet) to change thing during gameplay, this isn't needed
bug fix
Accurate Log Files: Fixed a bug in the error log that incorrectly claimed the system had gigabytes of free memory when it was actually out of space.
show info in ndc.log
Show me sd:/ndclog.txt if you have problem
What to do if testing:
Run the update and check the sd:/ndclog.txt file.
Fix of this HDD problem may already have been fixed with alpha 0.71
If the app boots, it means freeing up the 4 MB fixed the issue.
If it doesn't boot, check the error screen to see the exact memory deficit.
EXIT_FIX (defaut 1)
Trying new stuff for exiting the emulator.
It still design to go to homebrew menu
;; Exit combo shutdown: 0=off (legacy bare exit(0)), 1=safe teardown,
;; 2=safe + loader-stub watchdog, 3=also poll the combo host-side once a
;; frame so a game that stopped polling Maple can still be exited.
;; Turn this to 1 if going back to the Homebrew Channel sometimes leaves
;; a black screen with the Wii on; to 3 if a hung game traps you as well.
JIT_MAC Preset (default = on)
These new JIT directly come from SETA GX, the Saturn Emulator for Wii !
Big thank to the author Evoca !

No measurable improvement, maybe only in some specific scenes.
