Known issues

"Error saving xxxxx" or "Error loading xxxxxx" would appear when there is no DSLiveWeather folder in the root of flash card.

Changelog

Version July 12

  • Automatically searches for the DSLiveWeather directory within 3 depth levels away from the root. This means that the following three configurations will work:
    • /DSLiveWeather
    • /<1>/DSLiveWeather
    • /<1>/<2>/DSLiveWeather
  • This procedure is done with my Locator() function. If you would like to see this feature in more homebrew projects, spread the word to the developers!
  • People experienced problems with Saving to FAT. This should be fixed.
  • This build uses the latest official DSWifi 0.3.2. I hope it fixes some of the WiFi problems.

Credits

It is built with DevKitARM r20, libfat (DLDI), dswifi/wifilib 0.3.1, rebootlib 1.1.
