| '''v2.0.1''' | | '''v2.1.0''' |
| * What's new?
| |
| ** Removed the preload flag for old DS homebrew, as there are no (known) frontends which use it.
| |
| ** Old versions of some DSi system apps now boot.
| |
| * Bug fixes
| |
| ** The Singleplayer Nookingtons patch for Animal Crossing: Wild World no longer black screens in B4DS mode!
| |
| ** Fixed wrong placement of the sound frequency flag causing old DS homebrew (as well as GBARunner2) to not boot.
| |
| ** For proper changing of the DSi/3DS sound frequency, the codec is now written to.
| |
| ** Leftover garbage data is now cleared before boot when running from Slot-1 with SCFG access.
| |
| ** Some minor optimizations.
| |
| '''v2.0.0'''
| |
| *What's new? | | *What's new? |
| ** Remember ''Foto Showdown''? The ''Pokémon'' clone where you get new monsters using your DSi or 3DS camera, and use them in battles?<br /> | | ** '''B4DS mode:''' Re-added support for 16KB DLDI drivers, and for the first time ever, 32KB DLDI drivers are now supported! |
| *You can now play it on your DS Phat or DS Lite console, with one difference!<br />
| | *** This basically means that old flashcards such as the N-Card will now work with nds-bootstrap! (Thanks to [https://github.com/ApacheThunder @ApacheThunder] for testing!) |
| *The camera lens will either be substituted with a video (Place the video file in <code>fat:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/dsiCamera/</code> and name it <code>default.bin</code>, must be recorded using dsi-camcorder), or it'll just be covered and you'll see nothing. | | *** libnds32 (by [https://github.com/lifehackerhansol @lifehackerhansol]) is used along with shrinking the game's heap (starting with SDK 2.1) in order to achieve this. (See "'''Known bug'''".) |
| ** If you use a debug/dev model of the DS, you can now also play ''System Flaw'' & ''System Flaw: Recruit''! | | ** Some games will now have ROM data pre-loaded after boot instead of before boot, speeding up boot times for such games. |
| ** The ROM pre-load settings from the nds-bootstrap-extras repo are now part of nds-bootstrap itself, as they'll help reduce some ROM load issues causing some frame flickers and/or slowdown in certain games, regardless of which frontend you use! | | ** '''B4DS mode:''' Two ROMs will now have some data pre-loaded into the Memory Expansion Pak before boot (''Base 10'' & ''Sonic Rush Adventure'') in order to reduce screen flickering and slightly improve speed! |
| ** Card Read DMA patching is now implemented in B4DS mode, making more games such as ''Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune'', ''The Magic School Bus: Oceans'', and ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat'' now work on DS flashcards! | | ** '''B4DS mode:''' In an attempt to reduce crashing in the following DSiWare titles, the DLDI driver has been moved to ITCM to make as much of the console's 4MB of RAM available as possible. |
| ** ''Minna no Mahjong DS'', ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', and ''Golden Sun: Dark Dawn'' now work in B4DS mode, as their save functions are now directly patched on arm9. | | *** AiRace: Tunnel (limited up to 16KB DLDI drivers) |
| ** ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' now works in B4DS mode, as a missing patch has been added. | | *** Need for Speed: Nitro-X (limited up to 16KB DLDI drivers) |
| ** The Kiosk Demo version of ''Mario Kart DS'' now boots on DS and DSi consoles! | | *** Orion's Odyssey |
| ** ''Nintendo DS Guide Server'' now boots! | | *** Phantasy Star 0 Mini |
| ** If your DSi console no longer has LEDs powering on (as a result of a bricked BPTWL I2C chip), but can still manage to boot it using ntrboot, patches are now implemented to allow games to work properly! | | *** Picture Perfect: Pocket Stylist |
| ** Card Read DMA patching has been re-enabled for TWL titles running in DSi mode. | | *** Tales to Enjoy!: Little Red Riding Hood |
| ** Improved the ROM pre-loading feature on DSi/3DS, as it now tries to pre-load only the NitroFS data, if the ROM is slightly too big to fit in the console's RAM. | | *** Tales to Enjoy!: Puss in Boots |
| *** In addition, for full ROM pre-loading, 480KB of DSi WRAM are now allocated for a few more ROMs to be pre-loaded. | | *** Tales to Enjoy!: The Three Little Pigs |
| ** The Sound/Mic frequency setting now works in homebrew! | | *** Tales to Enjoy!: The Ugly Duckling |
| *Bug fixes | | *Bug fixes |
| ** On DSi consoles, in ''Pokémon Black & White 1&2'' running in DSi mode, scrolling in the bag menu no longer has slowdown. | | ** Added ROM pre-load settings for ''MegaMan Battle Network 5: Double Team DS'' (Undub) on DSi consoles to reduce slowdown in the opening intro. |
| *** Hopefully, the random crashes are also gone.
| | ** '''B4DS mode:''' Fixed a long-standing bug (since v0.73.0) which caused SDK5.5 DSiWare titles containing cloneboot (ex. ''Box Pusher'') to not boot. |
| ** On DSi consoles, the intro of ''MegaMan Battle Network 5: Double Team DS'' no longer has slight slowdowns.
| | ** Fixed an overlooked bug which caused ''KORG DS-10+ Synthesizer'' to not boot in DSi mode on DSi consoles. |
| ** In B4DS mode, the European version of ''Super Princess Peach'' now boots!
| | ** '''B4DS mode:''' Fixed VS mode in ''Base 10'' causing a crash. |
| ** On DSi/3DS consoles, flickering in the title screens of ''Dragon Quest IV'' & ''VI'' have been reduced.
| | ** [https://github.com/lifehackerhansol @lifehackerhansol]: Minor improvements. |
| ** On DSi consoles, ''Nervous Brickdown'' & ''Big Bang Mini'' no longer crash on black screens on startup! | |
| ** Fixed bugged music playback in ''Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends'' running in DSiWare exploits (such as Memory Pit) and/or in DSi mode. | |
| ** In B4DS mode, due to the implementation of Card Read DMA, ''Tony Hawk's American Sk8land'' no longer hangs when getting into gameplay. | |
| ** In B4DS mode, due to the implementation of Card Read DMA, ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3'' no longer crashes during a cutscene.
| |
| ** ''Nintendo DSi Shop'' & ''System Settings'' no longer crash on white screens.
| |
| ** Optimized touch screen mode switching code to fix where the sound would no longer play on certain DSi/3DS consoles. | |
| ** Other minor fixes.
| |
| *Known bugs | | *Known bugs |
| ** As both ''Nintendo DSi Shop'' & ''System Settings'' no longer show white screens, they'll instead show the stock DSi error screen. This is due to them being unable to read the version data from TWLNAND, but the fix for this is unknown. | | ** Some games may not boot with 16KB or 32KB DLDI drivers (used by N-Card or a few other old flashcards). If you are playing a DSiWare title on DS or DS Lite, make sure to set ''Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals'' as a donor ROM in order to reduce crashing. |
| ** ''Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise'' now also works in B4DS mode, but does not save.
| | ** 32KB DLDI drivers are not supported outside of B4DS mode. |
| | |
| '''v1.6.2 (hotfix #2)'''
| |
| *What's new?
| |
| ** For consoles which improperly trigger sleep mode (with opened lid), sleep mode can now be disabled!
| |
| *Bug fix
| |
| ** Fixed games which use NAND saves not booting (such as ''WarioWare: DIY'', ''Jam with the Band'', and ''Face Training'').
| |
| '''v1.6.1'''
| |
| *Bug fix
| |
| ** Fixed an overlooked bug which caused 512MB ROMs to not load under Memory Pit.
| |
| '''v1.6.0'''
| |
| *Bug fixes
| |
| ** Improved stability of wireless communications by moving SD R/W operations from vBlank & IPC Sync IRQs (of arm7) to main loop (of arm7) (once again, achieved by hooking SWI Halt calls)!
| |
| *** This means little to no random connection dropouts (may vary, depending on the game).
| |
| *** ''Mario Kart DS'' will now properly host a single-card multiplayer game.
| |
| *** No more slowdowns during ROM reads from the SD card with wireless comms.!
| |
| *** Compared to prior versions which implemented SWI Halt hooking, some optimizations have been made to reduce slowdown from said hooking. No slowdown has been found in known games which had those prior, such as ''CTGP Nitro'' (v1.0).
| |
| ** Fixed an overlooked bug (which occurred since v1.1.0) which caused a Data Abort crash when attempting to connect to PBR via ''Pokemon Diamond'', ''Pearl'', or ''Platinum''.
| |
| *** The same disconnection bug will likely persist.
| |
| ** ''Cut the Rope'' no longer shows black screens for Memory Pit users!
| |
| *Known bugs
| |
| **Due to moving SD R/W operations to main loop, the following will occur.
| |
| *** Compared to previous versions, there may be some minor slowdown in certain games (such as Pokemon B/W 2, during the title screen).
| |
| *** On DSi consoles, ''Nervous Brickdown'' & ''Big Bang Mini'' will crash on black screens after the company logos. Both will still run on 3DS consoles, as those games are pre-loaded to RAM.
| |
| *** If you still encounter random connection dropouts, try turning off the <code>Card read DMA</code> setting in either TWLMenu++ or the forwarder per-game settings menus.
| |
| '''v1.5.5'''
| |
| *Fixed an overlooked bug which caused pre-loadable NTR ROMs to not properly load into RAM while in DSi mode.
| |
| '''v1.5.4'''<br>
| |
| * A few DSiWare titles such as Petit Computer now boot again on SD cards smaller than 32GB!
| |
| * Removed nds-bootstrap.7z from inside nds-bootstrap.zip.
| |
| '''v1.5.3'''<br>
| |
| * Fixed an overlooked bug (arm9 binary misdetected as uncompressed) which caused the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story to not boot.
| |
| '''v1.5.2'''<br>
| |
| * Fixed long-standing crash in Zelda: Phantom Hourglass when attempting to move a statue.
| |
| * Added failsafe checks for the files screenshots.tar, ramDump.bin, and apFixOverlays.bin placed in sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/. On boot, if one of those files are not created properly, it'll first delete one before recreating the file. If the file then isn't created properly, it'll display an error message.
| |
| '''v1.5.1'''<br>
| |
| * Fixed Power Pro Kun Pocket 12 not booting in DSi mode without a donor ROM.
| |
| ** In other words, the bug where Power Pro Kun Pocket 12 would only boot in DSi mode for DSiWarehax users has been fixed, so users who don't use DSiWarehax and instead uses Unlaunch or a 3DS console are now able to play it in DSi mode.
| |
| * Reverted from the ASM memcpy code back to tonccpy, in order to fix bugs where parts of the graphics would not be restored when exiting the in-game menu, as well as the Anno games not properly displaying graphics.
| |
| * Other minor fixes.
| |
| '''v1.5.0'''<br>
| |
| *What's new? (B4DS mode)
| |
| **Nintendo Countdown Calendar now runs on DS & DS Lite without a Memory Expansion Pak!
| |
| **Clash of Elementalists is now supported on DS & DS Lite! Memory Expansion Pak is required.
| |
| *Bug fix
| |
| **Fixed homebrew incorrectly detecting a RAM disk if path is empty.
| |
| '''v1.4.3'''<br>
| |
| *What's new? (B4DS mode)
| |
| ** Audio in ''Art Style: Aquia'' now plays on (retail) DS & DS Lite consoles!
| |
| *** This is achieved by working around a memory limitation, where the game would first allocate memory for the compressed sdat file (1.53MB), and then allocate memory for the decompressed sdat file (1.63MB), which would fail because of there being no memory left for the decompressed data, and as a result would cause the audio to not play. nds-bootstrap instead does the decompression job before boot, by only allocating memory for the decompressed sdat file, and then streaming over the compressed data into the allocated area to form the decompressed data.
| |
| *Bug fixes
| |
| ** Further improved support for certain ROM hacks with compressed arm9 binaries (ex. ''Inazuma Eleven Undub'', ''Pokemon BB2/VW2'', etc.) in order for them to boot.
| |
| ** '''B4DS mode:''' Fixed an overlooked bug which caused ''Shepherd's Crossing 2 DS'' to open with a red error screen if an Expansion Pak is inserted.
| |
| '''v1.4.2'''<br>
| |
| * Fixed an overlooked bug which caused Shepherd's Crossing 2 DS to open with a red error screen.
| |
| ** If you're a DS/DS Lite user, the bug would only occur with an Expansion Pak inserted.
| |
| '''v1.4.1'''<br>
| |
| *Fixed attempting to decompress already-decompressed arm9 binary for certain ROM hacks, which would cause them to not boot.
| |
| '''v1.4.0'''<br>
| |
| *What's new?
| |
| **A long awaited and overdue DS homebrew compatibility update has been implemented!
| |
| ***Homebrew titles which have not booted in prior versions such as Moonshell v2.10 and Tetris: The Grand Master now boot properly!
| |
| ***SD read speeds have improved, by using 512KB of DSi WRAM (or for Memory Pit users, 96KB of Main RAM) as a LRU cache!
| |
| ****Before (Moonshell v1.71): 8 seconds
| |
| ****After (Moonshell v1.71): 2.5 seconds
| |
| ***DPG playback in Moonshell is also working properly!
| |
| **To slightly speed-up memcpy operations for LRU cache and pre-loaded ROM reads, tonccpy has been replaced with the memcpy code from BlocksDS!
| |
| *Bug fix
| |
| **Fixed where reading both the last and first parts of the save file at the same time would cause a game to crash.
| |
| ***This fixes where Gormiti: The Lords of Nature! would crash on the save initialization screen, if the save file is 64KB.
| |
| *Known bugs
| |
| **Moonshell v1.71 may crash later on for some DPG files. It is recommended to use v2.10 instead.
| |
| **Moonshell v2.10 will crash if logbuf.txt exists in the moonshl2 folder.
| |
| '''v1.3.2'''<br>
| |
| *Fixed attempting to force-decompress Chrono Trigger's arm9 binary, which would cause certain ROM hacks and/or translations to not boot.

| |
| **Updated last year text in the nds-bootstrap screen.
| |
| **Other minor fixes.
| |

| |
| **B4DS mode: As Flipnote Studio is one of the most requested DSiWare, it now boots on DS Phat & Lite consoles!
| |
| *Known bugs
| |
| **Unfortunately, due to memory limitations, Flipnote Studio does not work fully in B4DS mode, and only works in a proof-of-concept state. These bugs will likely not get fixed.
| |
| ***Only the USA version boots.
| |
| ***Does not save.
| |
| ***Getting past the main menu will cause a crash. This means you cannot create any flipnotes.

| |
| **Nintendo programs such as NTR EVA/Aging and Wii Sequencer are now supported.
| |
| *Improvements
| |
| **The heap of TWL titles is no longer shrunk in order to maintain compatibility!
| |
| ***This does not apply to B4DS mode.
| |
| ***On DSi, for cart-based games, only 128KB of heap is shrunk if the game is running from the SD card, and/or if cheats are enabled.

| |
| **On DSi, TWLCFG from TWLNAND is now re-loaded, if it's not detected in RAM.
| |
| **Fixed an overlooked bug which went unnoticed since DSiWare got supported on DS & DS Lite. The bug being where on DS or DS Lite, starting a DSiWare title which has WiFi support would wipe the WiFi data off of the console.

| |
| | |
| '''v0.73.1 (hotfix)'''<br>
| |
| *Fixed an overlooked bug where the LRU cache would be written at RAM address 0x02FE0000, which would cause a crash when running a DSi-Enhanced game in DS mode on 3DS consoles.
| |
| | |
| '''v0.73.0'''<br>
| |
| ''' What's new? '''
| |
| | |
| * LRU cache size now takes up almost the whole extra RAM space after the first 4MB!
| |
| ** The ROM pre-load size limit has also been affected to do the same.
| |
| * When starting an NTR-type game in DSi mode, the heap size is now increased from 4MB to 8MB!
| |
| ** Useful for some ROM hacks that somehow go above the normal heap size.
| |
| ** Due to a limitation of SDK2.0, it does not affect games made with that SDK version.

| * Main screen setting is now saved per-game.
| |
| | |
| ''' B4DS mode'''

| * Any SDK5 DS game can now be set as a Donor ROM to run DSiWare!
| |
| ** Useful if you don't have an existing ROM dump of a DSi-Enhanced game.
| |
| ** ''Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals'' (currently known to be the only SDK5 game to contain a VRAM-WiFi type of arm7 binary) is required by certain DSiWare titles (listed below) to use much memory (aka RAM space) as possible. On debug/dev consoles, it is not required.
| |
| *** If it's the only game set as a Donor ROM, DSiWare which use wireless will be unable to use those features.
| |
| ** ''Ubongo'' is the only DSiWare title which still specifically requires a DSi-Enhanced game to be set as a Donor ROM.
| |
| * ''Picture Perfect Hair Salon'', one of the few DSi-Exclusives released on cartridge, is now playable on DS/DS lite!
| |
| ** Audio does not play outside of debug/dev consoles.

| ''' Bug fixes '''
| |
| | |
| * For TWL-type games running in DSi mode on DSi consoles, heap shrink has once again been reduced (by 256KB), leaving only 256KB of heap being shrunk.
| |
| ** This should fix more crashes in some of those games.
| |
| * Fixed & optimized card ID start offset search.
| |
| ** This fixes certain games not booting the first time, and/or with card read DMA turned on.
| |
| ** This seems to fix game compatibility on certain flashcards.
| |
| * ''The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer'' now boots!
| |
| * Other minor fixes.

| '''v0.72.1'''
| |
| *Bug fixes
| |
| **The save soft-locking bug in Pokemon B&W 1&2 and some other games has been fixed once again.
| |
| **Fixed communication errors when booting Pictochat or DLP apps.
| |
| **My Healthy Cooking Coach has been blacklisted from using card read DMA, in order to boot.
| |
| **The patch offset cache should now be properly cleared, when found to be out of date.
| |
| ***This should fix some games not booting, of which have previously been booted by a prior nds-bootstrap version.
| |
| **After opening the in-game menu, and when closing the 3DS or 2DS console's lid, it'll no longer lock up on black screens.
| |
| **Attempted to add compatibility for SD cards of lesser-known brands, by disabling NDMA before the game boots.
| |
| | |
| '''v0.72.0'''
| |
| *What's new?
| |
| **2006-Nen 10-Gatsu Taikenban Soft now boots!
| |
| *Bug fixes
| |
| **NDMA is now only used for SD reads aligned by 4-bytes. CPU is used for non-aligned reads.
| |
| ***NAND saving (used by WW: DIY, Jam with the Band, and Face Training) should now be working properly again.
| |
| ***Should improve compatibility with certain homebrew, in the case of those using non-aligned reads.
| |
| **B4DS mode: Audio glitching should no longer occur when reading or writing save data.
| |
| ***Tested with R4(i) Ultra and R4i-SDHC. Not tested with Ace3DS+ (which was known to have the bug).
| |
| '''v0.71.2'''<br>
| |
| * What's new?
| |
| ** Added compatibility for these games:
| |
| *** Imagine: Animal Doctor
| |
| *** Paws & Claws: Pet Resort
| |
| *** Paws & Claws: Pet Vet 2
| |
| * Bug fixes
| |
| ** Fixed Pokemon Black & White 1 & 2 (and possibly other games) soft-locking while saving data.
| |
| ** Some (if not all) Download Play demos now boot again (such as Submarine)!
| |
| | |
| '''v0.71.1'''<br>
| |
| * Bug fix
| |
| ** Fixed games not booting if FAT cluster cache size is larger than 0x598 bytes.
| |
| *** To make room for the large cache, the game's heap is shrunken. If Memory Expansion Pak is inserted, or the cache size is 0x598 bytes or less, the heap is untouched.
| |
| *** To find out if it's larger than 0x598 bytes, turn on logging, launch the problematic game, and open root:/NDSBTSRP.LOG.
| |
| *** If you've used nds-bootstrap on a flashcard known to be stable enough with it, and a game wouldn't boot, you may have gotten this situation.
| |
| *** This is a useful fix on DSi/3DS if you're running your flashcard in DS mode, as there is no Slot-2 available.
| |
| * Known bug
| |
| ** If there's a game not working properly, and the FAT cluster cache size is larger then 0x598 bytes, then either backup the flashcard's SD contents and re-add them (as a way to defragment the SD), or insert a Memory Expansion Pak.
| |
| | |
| '''v0.71.0'''<br>
| |
| ''' What's new? '''

| '''v0.65.1'''
| |

| |
| * WarioWare: Touched! (DSiWare DL version) does not play audio on both DS retail and debug models due to it taking more than 4MB/8MB of RAM, using almost of the DSi's RAM.

| |
| * On DSi consoles, AP-patched overlays are now saved to a separate file in order to avoid shrinking the heap size beyond how much the title would allocate, when running DSi-Enhanced titles in DSi mode.

| **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.
| |
| | |

| |
| * If it still occurs, make sure the ROM read LEDs are turned off, or it may be caused by SD speed.
| |
| * Master brightness is now cleared when an exception error occurs.
| |
| * Fixed DSi mode heap shrink on DSi consoles to avoid overwriting the AP-patched overlays.
| |
| * B4DS mode: Fixed file writes not working correctly.

| |
| | |
| FAQ:

| |
| ** A: Nope. We still don't know how to fix it. What's currently known, is that the crash occurs in one of the ROM's overlays.
| |
| ** As always, you can (1.) play the demo version of the game, (2.) play from a flashcard, or (3.) play on the original cartridge.
