DS-Scene Rom Tool Change Log

Version 1.0 build 1205
+ Log Rom Changes option added to log CRC for edited roms.
This enables exported roms patched or trimmed with the application to be recognised
by the DS-Scene tab new time you load it. Default setting is enabled
+ Updates on start now launch the update menus rather than just a text warning
+ Missing files are downloaded once the application is visible so progress can be seen
+ Can now select which colours to be transparent in the icon
+ DS-Scene tab set to default tab, you can still disable it if you wish.
+ Batch process log file improved
+ Now auto renames files if the chosen name exists already. Batch process no longer
deletes files in the selected output directory.
+ Data fields are cleared correctly if rom header is corrupt
+ Fixed bug in the trim process removing 1 byte too much when trimming a trimmed rom
+ Many icon and gui changes / improvements
+ Maximise button now disabled
+ CMP Database is now checked to see if the rom loaded has cheats
(indicated on the DS-Scene tab)
+ Import / Export option added to AP Patch tab. Know how to find AP fixes? Now you can
distribute your work encrypted so you get credited properly. Send them to us and we will
include them in the official database if they are not already there.
