DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap v0.59.0

v0.59.0: TWL Summer Solstice Release

on GitHub

Included in TWiLight Menu++ v24.10.0

Instructions:

1. Download the .7z file.
2. Extract the nds-bootstrap .nds and .ver files, to root:/_nds.

What's new?

• When connecting to Wii using a Pokemon Gen 4 title, the received SRL file is now booted, and no longer crashes on white screens!
• Homebrew bootloader has moved to NitroFS in order for loaders such as TWLMenu++ to load it directly.
• You can now exit directly to TWLMenu++ without rebooting, when running a DSi-Enhanced/Exclusive title in DSi mode!
• Patch offset cache files have been renamed from romname.bin to TID & CRC (ex. VSOE-82A2.bin).
  • This allows .nds/.srl files launched from within one to have it's own patch offset cache file.
• ARM9i and ARM7i binaries of homebrew are now loaded when booting in DSi mode.
• VRAM_BOOST can now be changed for when running NTR games in DSi mode.

Improvements

• Soft-resetting in B4DS mode no longer turns off or reboots the console.
• DSi SD DLDI driver has been moved to the HB bootloader to cut down the HB build filesize.

Bug fix

• Fixed battery level showing as blank when first opening in-game menu.

Known bugs

• The received SRL file from a Pokemon Wii title cannot connect to the Wii after being booted. It is unknown how to fix this.
  • Additionally, when connecting using Platinum, the save data cannot be read.
  • Additionally (again), when connecting using HGSS, a red screen crash will occur (apparently due to attempting to read non-existing Diamond/Pearl/Platinum ROM data).
