The 0.5 version is from May of this year. I was expecting to see the status bar on the bottom screen - but I think it may stay on the top screen if you do not have the screen set at full screen.THats weird because I have the latest version and they used to work fine last year
What firmware and hax and/or custom firmware are you using?there is a lot of different possibilities in this area and some of the newer options seem to be less friendly with homebrew.
