1.9.6 Release Build

Changelog:

• No functional difference other then that the main build has been retired and that this build no longer requires Ahezard's fork of libnds. Plans are to migrate this to devkitarm r46 eventually. Main build doesn't operate correctly in TWL mode and I no longer see any benefit to keeping it when the alt build seems to have the same compatibility as the main build.
• The "altbuild" branch is now the main branch. No updates are planned for the old branch. I suggest moving your projects over to using the altbuild if you are maintaining a fork of this project. The old branch may be deleted at some point in the future without prior notification. I suggest you stop using it. ;)

1.9.5 Release Build

Changelog:

• Added VRAM boost setting to Arm9 SCFG_EXT when TWL clock speeds are enabled via setting NTRCLOCK to zero in INI file. This may further improve games that otherwise lag on default NTR clock speeds.

1.9.4 Release Build

Changelog:

• Redid DSi version of bootsplash animation. Now uses actual graphics from DSi bootsplash. No longer shares assets from original DS version and isn't a cheap modification of DS version anymore. Same applies to bottom screen graphics.

1.9.3 Release Build

Changelog:

• Minor corrections to ini config setup. SCFG_CLK is now set correctly if NTRCLOCK is disabled while DISABLEANIMATION is enabled. Also used correct values for SCFG_EXT/SCFG_CLK when ENABLESD option is enabled.

1.9.2 Release Build

Changelog:

• Added ability to enable full slot reset instead of using the new init system. it is configured via the "RESETSLOT1" string in the ntr_launcher.ini file. Disabled by default. Enable to fix some carts that may have issues with the new init system. (DSTwo for example fails to card init if you leave it in on boot)

1.9.1 Release Build

Changelog:

• Small change to reset function in main.arm9.c of bootloader. Now boots my original R4. Should improve flashcart compatibility
• Altered reset code in launch_engine.c Arm9. Same reason as above.

1.9 Release Build

Changelog:

• Implemented new system to allow configuring various options via INI file. An INI file on 3DS SD://NDS/ntr_launcher.ini is loaded and is used to configure various options like whether to show boot animation, whether to use NTR clock speeds, allow SD access in NTR mode, and if using alt buid, enable TWL mode. TWL mode setting exclusive to alt version of NTR Launcher. Note however using TWL Mode will cause audio issues with most NTR games and cause most flashcarts fail to boot. (though my DS-Xtreme booted with this enabled. But fails to boot any games). It's mainly experimental. Only R4 actually operates correctly in TWL mode and you'd have to boot Wood3DS from it to actually launch anything. It has little use right now, but it's there in the future in case it's needed. :D

All options are disabled by default except NTR clock setting. Button combos to override default behavior/configured options in INI file is still possible and use the button combos that the last build used. :D

1.8 Release Build

Changelog:

• Major change to how card reset works. Access Control settings modified for DSi Extended header to allow for card init without needing card reset code.
• As a result of the above change. Card Reset code cut in half to only include power on code. FIFO code setup so that if user boots with no cart inserted or the slot is off for what ever reason, it will then do the power on sequence. In either case some carts like AceKard2i should work properly now. My DS-Xtreme still boots, so this should not harm compatibility with existing cards that worked on 1.6.

1.7 Release Build

Changelog:

• Disabled Logo CRC/Secure Area error checking. This now boots my DS-Xtreme! Knowing this, it may increase flashcart compatibility drastically.
• Increased delay between power off and power on of slot during card reset sequence. Noticed my DS-Xtreme had spotty bootrates with the code in ahezard's libfork. Replaced his function with a version with the half second delay and now it boots 100% of the time. :D

1.6 Release Build

Changelog:

• Fix issue where card would not init if booted with no card inserted.
• As a result of the above change, a new prompt was added to ask user to insert a cartridge if one was not inserted at boot.
• Re-organized UI code.
• Arm7 now uses the built in card reset function added to ahezard's fork of libnds.
