EZ V always had the best compatibility, and now its time to bring in the customers again.

cornaljoe posted a little overview of the bugs still present or newly present in the loader however. New kernel = awesome, but still not perfect. At least I have auto detec for save now

Nice job EZTeam! Thanks for the update. It's not much of a change for me vs the 1.5 kernel. I was actually using the skin they decided to include as the default! It seems like a step forward in some ways but backward in others.

Bug Report

-Homebrew isn't detected as 'No Save'. All homebrew create a save that is 2M Flash.
-Homebrew without header info don't load a default icon and distort the file list.
Ex. DSLiveWeather, DS-85 v3(DLDI), SvSIP, Flickbook
-Homebrew show corrupt image on Touch Screen when booted.
Ex. DSLiveWeather, DS-85 v3(DLDI), DSMaterplus
-Homebrew with custom header info (via Romer 2.1) aren't centered.
-Pressing Start freezes the kernel
-DPG3 playback has audio and video sync issues not present in Moonshell 1.71
-Browsing while playing a MP3 causes lag not present in Moonshell 1.71
-Pressing L/R doesn't Pause/Play Next respectively
-ROMs with 64k EEPROM save type is detected as 512k EEPROM
Ex. 0366 - Tetris DS, 1491 - Bleach: The Blade of Fate
-Icons display transparent color as black instead of white.
-The red circle on the TITLEA.BMP isn't aligned with the CLOSEBTN.BMP
-EZ_SAVE.BMP isn't being read.
-English isn't included as a LANG(?).INI
-Some games freeze when exiting WiFi or doing in-game restart(not reset).
Ex. 0366 - Tetris DS, 1456 - Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Cool Report

-OMG ITS HERE!!!
-The minor graphic and audio artifacts that occured while booting a game have been removed.
-Like Moonshell 1.71, it remembers the last directory you were in.
-MOONSHL directory is still compatible with Moonshell 1.71
-FAT32 still works. Maybe that's why I'm finding so many bugs!

I don't want to seem like I'm trashing the update. It's great! I just want to make sure all the bugs get recognized.

Edit: I spent like an hour testing things and most of my findings have already been posted.
Edit2: I can confirm FAT16 yields the same results. I wonder why they want us to format in FAT16? I'm keeping FAT32 so I can use WiFi with DSLinux(FAT16 breaks it for some reason).

The wifi freeze bug was present in the old kernel as well.
