Merry Christmas, and happy DS gaming!
I present a Christmas gift: A new version with slight speedups, an optimization, new per-game setting, and nds-bootstrap for flashcards! (Not included yet.)

Update instructions

1. Overwrite the _nds folder and boot.nds file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
2. For DSi CFW users, put title folder from CFW - SDNAND root folder, onto the SD card root.

3. On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the cia folder.

What's new?

• Bootstrap build has been added as a per-game setting!

Improvements

• @profi200's improved SD code used in fastboot3DS, and @shutterbug2000 & @ahezard's NDMA code used in nds-bootstrap, are now used to slightly boost SD reads.
• Optimized .bmp image loading, so box art will be loaded a bit faster as a result.

Bug fix

• Fixed last played ROM path being cleared out when going into settings, and it will stay on the main menu as a result.

v6.7.1

Updating from v6.7.0 and later

• Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

• Main Menu can now be set to be hidden in the settings screen. (Requested by w0nd3rb0yfx and AmandaRose)
• Main Menu: Pictochat and DS Download Play are now booted directly without rebooting. (Fix from NoCash included to fix wireless comminucation issues for both apps.)
  Place the following in sd:/_nds:
  -pictochat.nds
  -dlplay.nds
  This is not required for DSi users with Hiya, as they should already be able to use them.

Bug fixes

• Fixed DSi and 3DS themes not working (stuck on white screen) for flashcard users.
• For flashcard users, it should no longer be stuck on the Now Loading... screen in the DSi and 3DS themes.

Update instructions

1. Overwrite the _nds folder and boot.nds file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
2. For DSi CFW users, put title folder from CFW - SDNAND root folder, onto the SD card root.
   If you're asked to overwrite, click Yes.
3. On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the cia folder.

What's new?

• A main menu now appears before the ROM menu!
  It has the look of the original DS firmware menu.
  Last-run ROM (with box art shown on the top screen), alongside Pictochat, DS Download Play (if both are installed), and GBARunner2 (GBA Mode on DS Phat/Lite consoles), can be launched.
  The yellow arrow is to proceed to the ROM select menu.
• Sound fix option has been removed, as it was causing issues with some games.
  If you enabled sound fix in the past, open sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini, and set SOUND_FIX to 0.
• Added option to not show AP message again for specific game.
  When launching the game, if the message appears, press X to proceed launch, and not show the message again.

Improvement

• MHGen (Acekard theme) menu_bg.bmp fixed by Vulpes-Vulpeos.

Bug fixes

• Sonic Classic Collection, and Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth, will no longer show the AP message, as they do not need AP patches.
• For some users, soft-resetting the game will no longer have muted sound.

Regression

• As a result of the muted sound fix, the sound frequency setting will not persist when soft-resetting.

Known bug

• When launching a game on a flashcard if TWiLight Menu++ is being ran from the console's SD card, after the ROM path is saved, it can no longer be changed, and you will need to manually remove it from settings.ini at sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu.

v6.6.1

UPDATE 12/12/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.13.0 now included, which fixes Bowser's Inside Story!
UPDATE 12/15/2018: Fixed DS Download Play and Pictochat .launcharg files.

Updating from v6.6.0 and later

• Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

• DSi, 3DS, and R4 themes: You can now press B on the AP-patch message, if shown for your game, to skip launching the game.

Bug fixes

• .launchargs made with launcharggen no longer causes the Now Loading... screen to be stuck.
• The DSi splash now plays at the proper speed.

v6.6.0: Return of the DSi splash

Originally released 12/3/2018.
Re-released due to not updating the .launcharg files in the repo before.

Updating from v6.5.1 and later

• Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

• DSi users with HiyaCFW: Do you miss the DSi splash being shown on boot, now that this is set as a System Menu replacement?
  Well, starting with this version, the DSi splash has been ported and slightly modified from @ApacheThunder's NTR Launcher, and just like on the original System Menu, it'll be shown once on each boot.
  To see the DSi splash, turn it on in the HiyaCFW settings.
• RocketRobz logo has been added to the bottom screen in the app's splash screen.
• .launcharg files have a new look!
  Inside one would be sd:/title/000300##/########/content/000000##.app, but now it's shortened to sd:/title/000300##/########/, as the app now adds the last half on the fly.
  If you have existing .launchargs on the SD card, just delete content/000000##.app at the end using a text editor, leaving with the shortened result.
• Most known games with AP measures will now show a message saying to AP-patch the ROM, when trying to launch it.

Bug fixes

• The new .launcharg look should no longer cause a Guru Meditation Error, unless the particular app doesn't exist on the SDNAND.
• Fixed some DSi system apps (such as DSi Camera) in .nds format being booted as homebrew (not working) instead of through Unlaunch.
• (Untested with Acekard theme) .launchargs of DS-mode DSi system apps will no longer show per-game settings.
• DSi/3DS theme: Fixed game's icon not being shown in the delete and cannot be launched screens.
• DSi/3DS theme: On flashcards, it should no longer freeze on the Now Loading... screen.

Known bug

• Due to the new look of the .launcharg files, the .launcharg reading code is unchanged, due to me being unfamiliar with the Acekard theme code, and as a result, .launchargs are now unlaunchable in the Acekard theme.

v6.5.1

Updating from v6.5.0 and later

• Overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

What's new?

• You can now have TWiLight Menu++ go to SysNAND Launcher (aka System Menu) instead of SDNAND's!
  Useful if you're getting the An error has occurred. screen.
  In the settings screen, you will need to set which .app file is set as LAUNCHER in the Unlaunch menu. To check, press POWER, hold A, then highlight LAUNCHER. The .app name will be shown on the bottom screen.

Bug fix

• The Acekard theme will no longer wipe your .nds DSiWare save file when trying to launch it.

• R4 theme: GBARunner2 (2nd icon in the menu) no longer boots without the GBA BIOS.
