Dualis r20.4 is out, and it's sure to make your DS homebrew days a bit brighter. Now lads, we've said it before and we'll say it again: Dualis, the NDS emulator for PC, is NOT used to play game backups; it is used strictly for homebrew and will NOT work for anything else.

It took quite a while for this new version to come out, so we're sure you're all itching to get your hands on this one. But first, here's what's new with r20.4:

CPU:

• fixed bug in the division SWI
• improved IRQ handling a bit
• added emulation of GetCrc16, GetSineTable, GetPitchTable and GetVolumeTable

• fixed a bug in the backdrop color selection that would sometimes occur
• fixed a bug in the rendering of 256-color r/s BGs (mode 4)
• modified palette offset calculation for 256-color textures

• fixed a bug where the emulator would occasionally freeze for a couple of seconds
• fixed a bug where CFlash initialization would sometimes fail when loading a ROM through the File Menu
• CFlash Emulation is now automatically disabled when a compressed ROM is loaded (.zip/7z)
• added a dummy sound emulation mode that works on computers with no DirectSound (EmulateSound=2 in dualis.ini)
• fixed a bug related to loading a ROM by double-clicking it in explorer
• added a "Recent" menu
• fixed some bugs in the map viewer

• fixed an LZ77 decompression bug
