• B4DS mode: RAM dumping has been added to the in-game menu!
• SWI Halt Hook has been removed, due to issues with slowdown.
• The in-game menu is now accessible in DSiWare titles!
  • In addition, the title can be exited back into TWLMenu++ without rebooting the console!
• Version number is now printed in the debug screen (if enabled).

Improvements

• Improvements to the SD and card read DMA code have been made in order to (somewhat/maybe) slightly improve speed, as well as fixing (some?) wireless communication errors.

Bug fixes

• Nintendo DSi Camera & Nintendo DSi Sound now boot again!
• Fixed soft-reset not working in supported DSiWare titles.
• Certain DSiWare titles should now access the SD card again, instead of giving an error or whatever the title does.
• Fixed AP-patching not working properly for ROMs loaded into RAM in DS mode.
• Screen-swapping now works properly again.

Known bug

• In Shantae: Risky's Revenge (when played in B4DS mode), only the first fight is playable. The game cannot go further than that, and music is disabled, both due to memory limitations.
