Homebrew coder Spinal has released a new bit of homebrew for people to try out. It's a homebrew loader which has dubbed DSision.

Here are the features of this inaugural release of DSision:

• Will boot almost any homebrew game or app on most cards
• Cool dock style icon based menu
• Stylus control
• Just drag the icon list left or right
• Tap the center icon to load it
• DPad control
• Press Left or Right to move the list by one icon
• Press Up or Down to skip the the start/end of the folder/file list
• L/R to jump to 'quick' folders
• Analog/Digital/no clock on top screen
• Quick launch shortcuts at top of screen
• Autorun any .nds file anywhere on your card (see menu_config.ini for details)
• Skin support
• menu_skin/
• top.bmp - top screen background
• bottom.bmp - touch screen background
• gbaframe.bmp - border for gba screen
• 1.gif - icon for parent folder
• 2.gif - icon for folder
• 3.gif - icon for nds file
• 4.gif - icon for music (mp3/mod) file
• 5.gif - icon for text file (unused, sorry)
• 6.gif - icon for movie (emc) file
• startup.mp3 - loading sound

To install the application, "just extract DSidion.nds and menu_skin folder to the root of your card" and you should be all set.

Spinal also notes some issues with the application:

Currently the mp3 playback is a little buggy and may stop while navigation the menu. There are also no controls for the mp3 or mod playback, they will play in the background. The txt file viewer has been removed for now, I had some very bad problems with it.

Lastly, the source code is included in the download file, so people who may want to tweak or improve upon DSision can do so at their leisure.
