Compatibility
Tested on TTDS/DSTT (firmware 1.17).
Known issues
Waiting for a new implementation, using DualScreen mode only allows 30fps, plus the two screens may flicker - deactivating DualScreen gives you 60fps, which is a lot better for scratching!
DScratch may not be able to play big files backward: crossing the end/beginning sample's edge backward way lock the audio engine due to a too long file access. It seems like NDS filesystem is too slow when seeking point is too far.
Midi may fail to init when using DSMidiWifi on some computers (only tested on Mac for the moment, other os reports are welcome).
Audio engine may lock at some point while using MIDI.
