v5.4.0: Rise of alternative names

How to update from v5.3.1

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

What's new?

• If you're not into the DSiMenu++ name, alternative names for DSiMenu++ have been added!
  -SRLoader (D-Pad Down held on startup): Miss the times when DSiMenu++ was first known as SRLoader? Well, starting with this release, this cool-sounding name returns!
  -DSisionX (D-Pad Left held on startup): Named after spinal_cord's DSision1/2 app!
  (Alt name can be reverted by holding D-Pad Up on startup.)
• DSi/3DS theme: A loading screen is shown during directory listing and page switching.
• DSi theme: Icons now drop down with a domino effect during fade-in, like in the original DSi Menu!
• 3DS theme: Cursor now animates, like in the original 3DS HOME Menu.

Bug fix

• Pressing X on an empty icon no longer crashes the console.

NOTE: The DSiMenu++ Launcher for 3DS/2DS will currently not read the set alt name, and the name will still appear as DSiMenu++ as a result.
The Launcher will soon be updated to read and display the alt names.
