Finally, some DSiware games now work fine.

Anyone know what I need to do to boot no$gba showing the DSi's system menu? His page has a screenshot of the debug version loading the menu, but I can't seem to find any way to trigger that.

Mhmm. This question goes a bit off topic / is not related to the update, but I hope it is still acceptable to discuss this here:

Setting up DSi emulation with NO$GBA:
  • You need a NAND backup from your DSi with no$gba footer (created with fwtool) renamed to DSI-1.mmc in the same directory as NO$GBA.EXE
  • Then open "Options", "Emulation Setup" and Set
    • "NDS Mode/Colors" to DSi (retail/16MB)
    • "Reset/Startup Entrypoint" to GBA/NDS Bios (Nintendo logo)
  • Also needed for any of this to work are the DSi Bios files (copyrighted by Nintendo of course – but DSi firmware files are not hard to find using your favorite search engine)

This works for me – but I did not yet update to the 3.0 version.

Good luck!

I don't see any NAND dump here.

If you have any working DSi you can start following the guide https://dsi.cfw.guide/ even if you do not have any intention to mod the DSi. Just up to the point of creating a NAND backup. No changes will be written to the DSi if you stop after creating the NAND dump.

If you don't have (temporary) access to any working DSi console… I give you a hint – although I don't endorse any form of piracy and strongly recommend getting a DSi and dumping the needed image yourself:

DSi emulation setup

Your favorite search engine should help. There is a nice .zip file that seems to contain everything…

Thanks, I found the file on a dead russian forum :P

And indeed, loading Shantae Risky's Revenge from the system menu in no$gba fixes the font issue, and games now even load in the correct region.
