What's new?

• When starting a DSi-Enhanced game in DSi mode in DSiWarehax, a DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare title set as a donor ROM (.ini setting: DONOR_TWLONLY_PATH) will now be used in order for the game to boot!
• When starting a DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare game from a CycloDS iEvolution running in DSi mode, a DSi-Enhanced game set as a donor ROM (.ini setting: DONOR_TWL_PATH) will now be used in order for the game to boot!
  • Please note that DSiWare will run the same as when support for it first got added in nds-bootstrap, so saving will not work, except in the DSiWare version of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.
• DSiWare now boots in DSiWarehax (without Unlaunch, in other words)!
  • If using Memory Pit, some titles may not work or will crash later on. The TWLMenu++ version listed above contains a list of incompatible DSiWare for Memory Pit, and will prevent launching, if incompatible title is found.
• A new MPU configuration is now in use for DS mode, and is the same one used in DSi mode!
• SWI Halt hooking can now be disabled! (.ini setting: SWI_HALT_HOOK).
  • Disabling will fix slowdown that occur in some games, such as Mario Kart DS, Sonic Rush, and more.
• If a ROM gets pre-loaded to RAM, the unpatched ARM9 and ARM7 binaries will now be placed in the DS debug RAM area, in order for more of the ROM data to be loaded.
• The in-game menu is now accessible in B4DS mode!
• When booting a game in DSi mode from a CycloDS iEvolution, the TWLCFG is reconstructed, as the flashcard clears it from RAM when it's menu opens.

Improvements

• 3DS/2DS: For SDK1-4 games, the last 24MB of RAM is now used again for card data cache.
• (@Epicpkmn11 and various) Updated in-game menu translations.
• Other minor improvements.

Bug fixes

• The RTC glitches that occur on DSi are finally fixed!
  • No need to hear the bell over and over in Animal Crossing: Wild World!
  • Face Training can now be played properly.
  • The quick day/night swap and the crashes will no longer occur in the Gen 4 Pokémon games!
• (@Epicpkmn11) Fixed bugged pixels appearing in DSi mode screenshots.
• Fixed some DSi mode games not running from a flashcard on 3DS.
• Forced DSi mode now works again!
• Fixed broken sound in some games running in DSiWarehax or forced DSi mode.
• Fixed SDK5 games loaded into RAM rebooting the console when trying to open in-game menu.
• Fixed flashcard games running in DSi mode rebooting the console when trying to open in-game menu.
• Fixed games not starting if EZ-Flash 3-in-1 is inserted.
• Other minor fixes.

Known bugs
