Version 4.2
V4.2 : 15-Aug-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Improved JLP 16-bit RAM when it contends with similar 16-bit RAM specified in a config (.cfg) file (games like TNT Cowboy and A-F now run properly).
- JLP Flash maximum increased to 64K per game.
- Other minor cleanups and tweaks as time permitted.
Version 4.1
V4.1 : 04-Jul-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Added the ability to map any DS key to the DISC UP and DISC DOWN which makes platform games like Rick Dynamite much more enjoyable.
- Force load of JLP/ECS/IVoice will now save out to configuration for the game so you don't have to do that more than once.
- Games of 16K or less without a specific .cfg or database entry will load at 5000h which is very likely where it wants to load.
- Numerous homebrews and hacks added to the internal database.
Version 4.0
V4.0 : 22-Apr-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Small optimizations and cleanup across the board - utilizing every bit of the NDS instruction cache to squeeze out another frame or two of performance.
Version 3.9
V3.9 : 05-Mar-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Improved ECS keyboard handling so we can handle 'transposed' scanning of columns/rows (allows demos like Adventure to run).
- Improved banking / page-flipping for faster page switches and more robust. There should be no more small audio 'gaps' when page-flipping music.
- For the DSi we now support 1024KB (512K Words) of binary ROM which is almost unfathomably large in the world of Intellivision games (130% larger than anything I'm aware of).
Version 3.8
V3.8 : 26-Dec-2022 by wavemotion-dave
- Improved memory handling so we don't run out of memory on the DS-Lite/Phat and no more crashes!
- ECS and extra cart RAM now in faster VRAM to improve performance.
- Fixed sound channels so that PSG + ECS + Intelivoice can all play nice together (mostly for World Series of Baseball)
- Improved .ROM parsing support - now checking the CRC integrity and properly parsing the compatibility tags so more games run with the right settings (Intellivoice or JLP or ECS, etc).
- New Game/Emulator Information screen to let you know if you are running in DS compatibility mode (less RAM, slower CPU) or DSi compatibilty mode (more RAM and faster CPU).
- For the DSi or above we now support a much wider range of binary files (up to 512K) with page flipping.
- New menu to allow you to launch a game with specific hardware configurations. Use X to load the game instead of A (launch instructions are on-screen).
- Lots of small improvements and cleanup as time permitted.
Version 3.7a
V3.7a : 23-Dec-2022 by wavemotion-dave
- ECS style page flipping (aka bankswap). DS-Lite will support World Series of Baseball without voice. DSi and above will support any binary up to 512K including WSoMLB with voice.
- Improved error handling with better messages on-screen to help diagnose problems with missing roms, roms that are too big/complex, etc.
- Cleanup across the board - reorganized memory to free up more resources for the future.
Version 3.6

Version 3.5
V3.5 : 01-Mar-2022 by wavemotion-dave
- Added support for ECS and ECS-Sound-Enhanced games.
- Improved internal database so more games are recognized correctly.

Version 3.4
V3.4 : 04-Dec-2021 by wavemotion-dave
- Added support for more ROM segments so games like DK Jr Homebrew will run.
- New global nintv-ds.man manual support - see extras folder.
- Other small cleanups as time permitted.
