Originally released 12/3/2018.
Re-released due to not updating the .launcharg files in the repo before.

Updating from v6.5.1 and later

  • Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

  • DSi users with HiyaCFW: Do you miss the DSi splash being shown on boot, now that this is set as a System Menu replacement?
    Well, starting with this version, the DSi splash has been ported and slightly modified from @ApacheThunder's NTR Launcher, and just like on the original System Menu, it'll be shown once on each boot.
    To see the DSi splash, turn it on in the HiyaCFW settings.
  • RocketRobz logo has been added to the bottom screen in the app's splash screen.
  • .launcharg files have a new look!
    Inside one would be sd:/title/000300##/########/content/000000##.app, but now it's shortened to sd:/title/000300##/########/, as the app now adds the last half on the fly.
    If you have existing .launchargs on the SD card, just delete content/000000##.app at the end using a text editor, leaving with the shortened result.
  • Most known games with AP measures will now show a message saying to AP-patch the ROM, when trying to launch it.

Bug fixes

  • The new .launcharg look should no longer cause a Guru Meditation Error, unless the particular app doesn't exist on the SDNAND.
  • Fixed some DSi system apps (such as DSi Camera) in .nds format being booted as homebrew (not working) instead of through Unlaunch.
  • (Untested with Acekard theme) .launchargs of DS-mode DSi system apps will no longer show per-game settings.
  • DSi/3DS theme: Fixed game's icon not being shown in the delete and cannot be launched screens.
  • DSi/3DS theme: On flashcards, it should no longer freeze on the Now Loading... screen.

Known bug

  • Due to the new look of the .launcharg files, the .launcharg reading code is unchanged, due to me being unfamiliar with the Acekard theme code, and as a result, .launchargs are now unlaunchable in the Acekard theme.

Updating from v6.5.0 and later

  • Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

    Useful if you're getting the An error has occurred. screen.
    In the settings screen, you will need to set which .app file is set as LAUNCHER in the Unlaunch menu. To check, press POWER, hold A, then highlight LAUNCHER. The .app name will be shown on the bottom screen.

Bug fix

  • The Acekard theme will no longer wipe your .nds DSiWare save file when trying to launch it.

  • Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

  • nds-bootstrap v0.12.2 is included!

    It is not confirmed to work with this flashcard yet.
    To test it with your AK2(i), enable Slot-1 microSD access in the settings, then touch the cart icon in the ROM menu.
    If the location is now Slot-1 microSD card after the sound played isn't the "launch" sound, then the flashcard is successfully read!
    If you're stuck on a white screen, then hold start after launching this app and before the ROM menu appears, then turn off the setting.
  • When using this app on a flashcard, you no longer need to set the flashcard manually, as it now checks the flashcard via DLDI friendly name.

Bug fixes

  • DSi/3DS theme: The GB icon is no longer overwritten by the small GBA icon.
  • DSi/3DS theme: After launching Slot-1 card, you will no longer be sent into settings screen, after launching this app again.
