Instructions:

1. Download the .7z file.
2. Extract both .nds files, to sd:/_nds.
3. Extract the .ver file to sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu.

NOTE: If you used an nds-bootstrap nightly from b6bc3b0 to 9976426, please delete the patchOffsetCache folder at sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.

What's new?

• On first launch of a game using this version, the offsets for functions to be patched, are now cached into a file in a folder called patchOffsetCache.
  As a result, on the next launch, the game will boot faster.
• If a file called fatTable.bin (created by TWLMenu++, starting with v8.1.0) exists at sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap, soft-reset times will be faster, as well as no loading screen, when doing the soft-reset button combo.

Bug fixes

• Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs, now boots again.
  Use TWLMenu++ v8.1.0 or later, to fix the crash after the top screen symbol fades out, without the need to hold L.
• The random crashes have been fixed in Digimon World DS.
• Fixed the glitched background in Geometry Wars Galaxies, the BG of the Licensed by Nintendo screen in Anno 1701, the glitched screen in Pokemon Dash and Phantasy Star 0, and some other games that may have glitched backgrounds.
• Fixed top screen not showing in Picross DS, Geometry Wars Galaxies, and some other games that may have that bug.

Known bug

• Cheats now only work sometimes.
