New version out, heres the details:

DS Game Maker improves on the powerful engine of XtenDS providing a fast, clean and useful environment for developing DS Games. Not only can you visually piece together characters, scenes, and scoring, you can add Wifi, Rumble and sound without having to know any programming!

Unlike any other program of it's kind, DS Game Maker has a comprehensive manual which will set you on the track of making great DS Games. And when you think your game is good, you can upload it to the dsgamemaker.com community for others to play.

+ 256 color sprite problem solved! (but you can't add more than 16 sprites to your project on the left... but 16's enough until we sort that out. At least you can work again.)
+ Slight tweaks in upload to site process, backgrounds larger than 256x192 do not affect the screen shot size any more.
+ 3 actions fixed: Init FAT and Play Sound MP3 and Create Sprite (after the new system was introduced in this version).
+ Transition In and Transition Out - you can now use constants instead of numbers, .e.g. LEFTRIGHT, FROMCENTER, STARS, DIAMONDS for the shapes and directions.
+ Fixed a crappy little bug with registration.

Still to fix/make/do:

+ Font chooser
+ Sprite transparency on/off (button is there, does nothing)
+ Global actions list
