This release primarily contains internal improvements and no new features since r8.

Modchip support:

  • PicoBoot is now supported directly in this repo, however it won't be useful until PR 107 is merged.
  • Thanks to a new packer by Extrems, Qoob SX and ViperGC (non-Extreme) support has been restored.
  • An updater for Qoob Pro is now provided.

Visible changes:

  • The version is now shown at the top of the screen.
  • The font was replaced with Terminus. The main motivation for this change was the need for an ISO8859-1 font, while the libogc default covered CP437 instead.
  • The usbload server will now time out after 5 seconds. (#38)

Internal changes:

  • A new build system, based on Meson, has replaced the old Makefile. Good riddance.
  • libogc2 is now built as a subproject, which makes it easier to produce size-optimized binaries without having to modify the system installation.
  • All modchips now use a compressed executable.
  • All prebuilt binaries, other than the Qoob updaters, were removed from the repo. At this point, the only binary blob still required by iplboot itself is BS1 for the Qoob Pro build. Build tools are compiled by the build system.
  • FatFs was updated to R0.15-p3.

Special thanks to @Extrems and @bb010g.
