    Team Cyclops just uploaded BETA Firmware B.5 for CycloDS Evolution. Changes include:

    Changelog:
    Code:
    vB.5:
    
      * Game compatibility fixes (5140, 5174, 5175, 5243, 5274, 5275, 5326, 
        5329, 5343, 5358, 5364)

      * Added <lockBrowseRootPath> setting to XML configuration file. When enabled,
        the browser will not be able to navigate to parent directories of the path
    	specified in <browseRootPath>. When disabled, the browser will start at the
    	root directory specified but will allow navigation to parent directories, as
    	was the behaviour in previous firmware releases.
      * Item list dialogs (settings, context menu) now wrap to top/bottom
      * Added multiple save slot support for GBA games

      * Save sizes up to 32MB can now be specified individually per game
      * Pop-up menu is now accessible from the main menu by pressing Y while a bookmark
        is selected. This facilitates operations on the selected bookmark without first

      * Added option to display last executed file in the bookmark list. Toggle option
        from the settings menu
      * Its now possible to customise the button combination to launch the last executed

        method of enabling cheat codes

    vB.0:
    
       * Pop-up menu added to game list for performing various operations on the
         currently selected item
       * Cheats codes are now managed on a per game basis through the pop-up menu
       * A bookmark system has been added. Any ROM (game/homebrew) or folder can be
         bookmarked, and bookmarks can be displayed in one of two possible modes.
         The first mode displays each bookmark as a square icon on the main menu,
         while the second mode displays the bookmarks in a list and is accessed
         through the moonshell icon. The modes can be toggled via the settings menu
       * Support for multiple save slots has been added, with the save slot selected
         through the pop-up menu
       * RTS file management has been moved to the pop-up menu
       * Basic file operations (copy/move/delete) have been added and are accessed

       * Several settings which were previously only accessible from the configuration
         XML file can now be manipulated through the settings menu

         menu, the game list and the cheat list
       * Built-in icons for folders, NDS games and GBA games can now be replaced with
         custom icons
       * Tweaks to touch screen operation
       * Game compatibility fixes (4341, 4716, 4723, 4726)
       * Probably several other changes we've forgotten about ;)
    Providing there are no outstanding bugs with the GUI itself, this will be the last BETA release before the new GUI is released as STABLE.

    I wasn't sure if this was any new compatibility updates, or just taking 1.61 firmware compatibility and applying it to their BETA GUI firmware (now the iEVO default firmware).

    I figure that B.5 includes all the fixes of 1.61, plus even more compatibility fixes. I'm really glad they are finally done with the old GUI (assuming no showstopping bugs are found in this release), the new GUI is so much better in every way.
