Another laptop update ... The previous one started to act pretty weird regarding AC power. I survived a couple of week with the old (2007) laptop, enjoyed the music collection it has and the larger screen. This one is more similar to the faulty one with a 1350x768 screen, but it has SSD.

Well, it was also the opportunity to try dsgametools with the latest devkitpro. And it was pretty disturbing. At first, you now have to install a package manager first before you install what you need. It could have been done with a custom apt-get setup but they opted for pacman with a binary package you have to pre-install from their github. Not really the way I believe open source should work ...
I'll keep the new error messages and improved warnings of g++ 8.1.0 for another post. Here, I missed some headers or other stuff to rebuild everything
errno definition for dswifi ... that is likely an old one. manually installing sgIP_errno.h apparently fixed things. I'd prefer to get the sources of current dswifi to ensure everything is fine. Hope I'll find them.load_bin,load_bin_size as well as bootstub_bin, bootstub_bin_size (for nds_loader_arm9, used in runME and self-upgrade features) are missing. Iirc, they should be built from .bin files ... They are still in libppp9/data ... I'll have to find out why they were not processed.
