What's new?

• In the in-game menu's RAM viewer, you can now switch between the ARM9 and ARM7 memory maps by pressing SELECT!

Improvements

• Donor ROMs are no longer needed in most cases!
  • One is no longer needed for games containing THUMB ARM7 binaries while in B4DS mode or when running from a CycloDS iEvolution.
  • DSiWarehax users will still require one when running DSi-Enhanced titles in DSi mode, as well as a few DSiWare titles.
• Future-proofed for some exploits of DSiWare titles containing MBK settings used for DSi-Enhanced games.
• DSiWarehax users: If a DSiWare title uses a Donor ROM when running from the SD card, the traditional patch method is no longer used, allowing NAND files such as shared font to be read, thus allowing a few titles such as Dr. Mario Express, and the Japanese versions of Bird & Beans and Paper Plane to boot.
• (@Epicpkmn11 and various) Updated in-game menu translations.

Bug fixes

• Fixed certain DSiWare titles not booting (as of v0.42.0), such as Petit Computer and I am in the Movie.
• The crash issue in Tetris Party Deluxe should now be fixed.
• Other minor fixes.

Known bugs

• When scrolling through the ARM7 RAM, nds-bootstrap will crash after a few seconds.
• Certain games such as Pokemon Dash and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, as well as DSiWare system titles such as Nintendo DSi Camera and Nintendo DSi Sound still won't boot.
  • DSiWarehax users can still set Nintendo DSi Sound as a Donor ROM for DSi-Enhanced and certain DSiWare titles.
