What's new? (B4DS mode)

  • Added support for 5 more DSiWare titles! (Retail unit total: 68 -> 73) (See here for the complete list of supported DSiWare titles.)
    • Ah! Heaven
    • Art Style: Boxlife (All of the Art Style titles except Digidrive are now supported!)
    • Puzzle League: Express
    • Quick Fill Q
    • Robot Rescue

Improvement/Bug fix (B4DS mode)

  • With the game's heap being shrunk by the cardEngine ARM9 binary size, it is now shrunk by the FAT table cache size in addition, instead of always shrinking by 128KB in total (if no Memory Expansion Pak is inserted).
    • This fixes some DS games in order for them to boot without a Memory Expansion Pak (ex. Pokemon HGSS, GTA Chinatown Wars, CTGP Nitro, etc.)!
    • For DSiWare, the FAT table cache is located before the game's code in RAM, in order to avoid having to shrink the heap further, and if the FAT table cache is 16KB or less.
    • Your flashcard's SD card needs to be formatted with >= 32KB cluster size for this feature to work as best as possible. (You do not need to do anything if TWLMenu++ does not show a message about cluster size.)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Absolute BrickBuster, Absolute Chess, and Absolute Reversi showing save data errors.
  • Fixed SDK5.0 DSiWare titles not booting if only SDK5.1+ Donor ROM is set. (Only applies to DSiWarehax users.)
  • Switched to THUMB code with Os flag for the cardenginei binaries, in order to improve speed a tiny bit, as well as trying to fix oddball issues.
  • B4DS mode: Attempted to fix crashing in JellyCar 2 by opening up the heap a bit more.
