UPDATE 6/17/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.9.0-RC2 now included!

Starting with this release, SRLoader gets a new name, called DSiMenu++, named after Explorer++, which is a replacement for Windows Explorer.
Also starting with this release, DSiMenu++ replaces TWLoader, as TWLoader is now discontinued, as it'd take longer to maintain both DSiMenu++ and TWLoader repos, also due to the fact that TWLoader takes some time to start, including icon caching, downloading/loading box art, and pauses when picking a game.
DSiMenu++ has none of these issues, replicates the DSi Menu more accurately, and only working on that will bring faster updates.
As a result, we now just have one menu to load ROMs on the SD card through, and the upside is that it works on both DSi and 3DS/2DS consoles! ;)

How to upgrade from SRLoader

  • In sd:/_nds, rename srloader to dsimenuplusplus.
  • Re-extract the _nds folder to the SD root.
  • Re-extract what's inside CFW - SDNAND root folder, to the SDNAND root.
  • Overwrite boot.nds on SD root, with new one.

Anyhoo... on to the changelog!

What's new?

  • Flashcard autoboot files have been updated!
  • You can no longer set a donor ROM by pressing SELECT.
  • Pressing SELECT on a highlighted ROM will now show the ROM's SDK version!
    This feature also works on flashcards, making DSiMenu++ the first ever DS(i) homebrew to show a ROM's SDK version!

Improvement?

  • Text on the top screen of the R4 theme is now white. It is still hard to see some text, though.

What's new?/Bug fixes

  • Old method of direct ROM loading with no reboot, has been restored as a new option called Quick-start ROM.
    This is useful, in case if you're thrown back at the DSi/3DS HOME Menu plenty of times, or at a Luma exception screen.
    However, this option will break touch screen input, unless when launching the last-ran ROM outside of DSiMenu++, but the next version of nds-bootstrap will fix the touch issue.
  • An option to enable/disable DSi icon animation has been added! (Disabled by default)
    Disabling the animation will fix some icons appearing as white squares, particularly in the DSiWare list. (suggested by @jerbear64)

Bug fixes

  • Touch screen now works in old DLDI homebrew!
  • If last-ran ROM is (old DLDI) homebrew, it will now use the homebrew bootstrap, instead of the regular one.
