Changelog
Version July 12
- Automatically searches for the DSLiveWeather directory within 3 depth levels away from the root. This means that the following three configurations will work:
- /DSLiveWeather
- /<1>/DSLiveWeather
- /<1>/<2>/DSLiveWeather
- This procedure is done with my Locator() function. If you would like to see this feature in more homebrew projects, spread the word to the developers!
- People experienced problems with Saving to FAT. This should be fixed.
- This build uses the latest official DSWifi 0.3.2. I hope it fixes some of the WiFi problems.
