Note:
1, Please del the other OS on your microsd card and backup the saves before installing EOS
2, There is no cheat files within EOS, please rename your .dat cheat file into usrcheat.dat then put it under /_dsone/
3, If just cant save for a game and you want to play it before we fixed it, you can open the *.dso file which for that game with notepad, then find the "saver_mode" option, set saver_mode=3 or saver_mode=4. It will change the save patch mode for that game.

Evolution OS SP1:
1. Updated the save method. Changed from arm9 to arm7.(the same as with the DSONE SP8). It's more compatible.
2. Card reader speed is optimized, the game's own FAT table placed in psram (the game is often read this table).
3, The game's real-time menus cursor can be moved circularly.
4, Fixed the following games:
FF12 Wings of souls, number 2385
Name of the large ensemble Brothers Band No. 2672
Name of the U.S. version of Life SpongeBob SquarePants picture No. 4683
Name to Fu Garden No. 0836
Name Didi Diddy Kong Racing
5, Added a few options for the card read speed ( total of nine levels), you can set up for high speed cards.
6, Fixed cheat code failure problems.

Please download the version which fit your DSONE/i

usrcheat.dat file should go in the _dsone directory (it already comes with the EOS, it's the equivalent to /scshell from the old OS) unless something changed from the other betas.
Also you should put ndsinfo.dat file there.

Thank you joedanger for correcting from under to in the folder i thought the cheats wasn't working yet.

and for everybody who's been fixing up the EOS THANK YOU!

No problem, also before using it you should update the ndsinfo.dat file since the one that came with it is outdated, you can find the updated one here: http://forum.supercard.sc/thread-5336-1-1.html

Just did what you said and thanks again joedanger

There's no info about multimedia support in EOS atm, but you can always use moonshell for that.
And about the views, as you mention right now only the list and icon modes are available atm.
Btw, if someone wants more info about EOS, my review of the OS can be found here: http://forum.supercard.sc/thread-5117-1-1.html
It's based on the beta versions of EOS since i haven't tested this public release, but it shouldn't be really different, i'll update it if i found changes.
Also it contains an updated compatibility list (again, with the latest closed beta) that i will update if i find changes.

Hm, I've some problems with my old save games..
Whatever i've tried, they won't work, only two blank screens.
Any idea? (I want my 23h 'Bowser Inside Story' save back. .______.)

Not sure if it's already fixed, but try changing the extension of your save files from .sav to .SAV (in caps).
If it still isn't found, rename your old save file so it has the exact same name of the rom. This should be already fixed but i'm not completely sure, since in the first betas it has problems to recognize the old savegames because of them being cut by the old OS (because of the 8 characters limit).
Also if when you check your Mario & Luigi RPG 3 directory you find 2 .sav files, be very careful, make a backup of both before trying to change or delete one, since you could end deleting your savegame. I tought this was already fixed, but now i'm not sure.
