What's new?

  • (@Epicpkmn11 and @RocketRobz) You can now take screenshots of DS games!
    • Screenshots will be saved to screenshots.tar in sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/.
    • Due to hardware limitations, only screenshots of the main-set screen will be taken.
    • Limit is 50 screenshots. After reaching the limit, you cannot take any more, until you delete screenshots.tar in sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/, where it'll be re-created on next boot.
    • To take screenshots:
      • Open the in-game menu.
      • Select Screenshots...
      • Select the VRAM bank, in case if the screenshot looks incorrect.
    • This feature cannot be used in B4DS mode.
  • You can now step 1 frame, while in the in-game menu (by pressing R).
    • Useful for getting frame-perfect screenshots!

Improvements

  • (@Epicpkmn11 and various) Updated in-game menu translations!
  • The Date modified flag for the .sav file is now updated, when booting the game.
  • The in-game menu button combo now does nothing in DSi mode, since it's already inaccessible.
  • Asynch card read is now disabled in DSi mode, regardless of settings.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed some DSi mode compatibility on DSi consoles (at the cost of card data cache size).
  • (@Epicpkmn11) Fixed where the in-game menu would sometimes be blank.

Known bugs

  • Screenshots of ActImagine/MobiClip videos contain only black screens.
  • Screenshots of moonshineDS will only contain half the screen on either horizontal side.
  • The frame-stepping feature will not always work properly.
