[DS Scene] NitroSwan v0.5.2 released

admin

Published a new update for NitroSwan , the Bandai WonderSwan (Color/Crystal) and PocketChallenge V2 emulator for Nintendo DS consoles developed by developer Fredrik Ahlström .

 

 

This new update adds a new set of BnW (Black and White) palettes and makes some fixes for PCV2 controls, sound and save states.

Guide

  • Now upload the game/bios files in a folder together with the roms (WonderSwan).
  • Depending on your flashcard you may need to DLDI patch the emulator.

The save files should be compatible with most other WonderSwan emulators.

 Press the + shoulder buttons or tap the screen to select between tabs.
