Already a new release :

- iomap: replaced various "vals" by "io10seg" (matching to nds9/nds7 pages)
- setup: added gba-solar-sensor setting (now also in freeware version setup)
- setup: removed experimental rear-alpha option (tested / always enabled now)
- a22i: supports "NOT" operator (more or less, crashes on faulty priority order)
- a22i/bugfix: long/negative multiply in numeric expression (swapped lsw2/msw2)
- gba/nds-cartloader: fixed crash on loading GBA-carts from inside NDS7-mode
- thanks: RockmanRotties and Diablow for bugreports on demos and fatalunexpected

Have you tried it? Does it really run DS games? I wonder how it controls.

I didn't try the DS feature, it's sad that I said I would not post NDS emu and now no$gba starts to emulate it :-[. I don't know if it runs game anyway.

2.3d is out, I've added it to the emulation page. It fixes nothing for the GBA emulation.
