Where did you get this info? Both Nintendont and Devolution were capable of rendering those effects since very early revisions. Devolution had a bug probably related to the verification reading process which prevented many effects from showing correctly but they would still show if you ran the game for the first time.
So it never needed a game specific hack to get working in the first place. The game was properly supported around August '14, right after I supplied a log of the game which I intentionally had not done. This has nothing to do with Nintendont.
I had to dive deeply into a 40+ pages PM conversation I have with a fellow user in here to find the message I wrote back some time ago.

Got it.
Check this post made by me in the Nintendont thread a few months back:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/page-473#post-5038645
I state in there that I switched both Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic Heroes to Nintendont.
I made that because of the GFX issues with the Team Blast attack and other stuff in game.
Check the date.
Now check THIS post in the Devo thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/devolution-public-release.330554/page-201#post-5073176
And look at what another user replies two posts below that one:

Now compare the dates of both replies in both threads.
