That was tried and someone vandalized the list.

I don't understand what vandalism has to do with the post you quoted...

Welp, I took that out of context. I thought he was talking about the compatibility list. I dunno why.

I apologize. Like I said I thought that you were talking about the compatibility list for whatever reason.

I see a lot of refactoring here I think that the bootstrap philosophy will change completely...

Do not worry, this cleanup is only to allow a better maintainability in the future. Stability and compatibility of the branch are the same. The new libnds makes it easier to works with dsi features which is big plus since I use them a lot. The new devKitArm toolchain also allows to produce a valid dsi extended .nds file than can be directly converted as cia. Even if I would prefer to have more control on this (I still need to edit the nds via a python script) this is a welcome addition.

That is a great achievement

I was referring to the launching procedure, since the TWLnand side cia isn't obligatorily anymore.
Again, compliments to the TWL team!

Any news on a new release yet? Keep up the amazing work!

Could WPA functionality be added to this for online play or is it simply impossible without games' source code?

It's impossible due to the limitations of the NDS, not just games. Why Nintendo decided to restrict the console to WEP is beyond me, but whatever. If you have a proper Android device that can proxy WiFi connections then you can use it as an exclusive access point with WEP or no security.

I thought this gives you access to DSi features?

Not specifically. Just the clock speed when using TWLoader. I assume DSi enhanced games themselves had WPA support (I really don't know), but this would imply that it would be impossible to use WPA with regular NDS games.

pokemon black and white and b2w2 had wpa and wpa2 support, i believe thats it.

That confirms my assumption then, as those are DSi enhanced games.

they are, but i dont think any other dsi enhanced game has wpa support. Correct me if im wrong.

Ctrl + F and search "WPA". Black and White one and two are the only two (on this list) that support WPA.

In theory yes, but the bigger problem here is that no homebrew driver exist for the dsi/3ds wifi chip accessible in dsi mode that supports wpa. Maybe using a dsi retail .nds rom as donor it could be done. It is not an easy thing to do though.

Question: do more games work now, or do we still have to wait for Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum?

Next step is prefetch, then after that, should be getting more games to work.

Thanks, question number 2: do saves work yet, or is that still WIP? I remember that back in late December/early January, we needed to wait a month or something.

Back?
