Known bugs

• B4DS mode: None of the supported DSiWare titles (except Famicom Wars DS: Ushinawareta Hikari) can save data.
• B4DS mode: Due to memory limitations of retail DS consoles, audio will not play in Art Style: Aquia.
• B4DS mode: In Aura-Aura Climber, depending on how far you go in Endless Mode, the game will crash. Inserting a Memory Expansion Pak may prolong how far you can go up before the crash.
• B4DS mode: The Game & Watch DSiWare titles will softlock after finishing a game or exiting (usually in Game A mode).
• B4DS mode: Connecting to WiFi in Famicom Wars DS: Ushinawareta Hikari will cause the game to crash.
• Some SDK2.0 games (such as Super Mario 64 DS) do not boot due to the fast soft-reset implementation.
• Soft-resetting may not work properly in a few games, causing a crash as a result.
