Just to mention that since updating to 1.5.2, the backlight brightness setting no longer works for me (whether touching the icon or using Select). Worked fine before. I'm using an Acekard 2 with latest AKIAO.
I also get a lot of random freezing when loading or saving games (occurs before the load or save completes, about 30% of the time). It freezes permanently, and the DS needs to be restarted. Even going to Save Game then pressing Cancel sometimes causes it. Seems to have been worse in the latest versions of VNDS, but for all I know it could be some other reason (e.g. file fragmentation on the flash card?)
Also: This is on a DS Lite.

I`ll fix it one day maybe(that means no).

this is new, whats the pc: value on the error screen?
Actually, mine also used to freeze in those situations (in older versions, btw). Turned out to be an actual problem with the Micro SD I was using.
Any reason the backlight code changed in 1.5.2? To support the DSi or something?
About the freezing: It just freezes with no error. Any background music continues to play for a while, then eventually stops. (I do very occasionally I get a Guru Meditation error on loading the game, but it's rare and not sure of the error code for that).
#4: Yeah, could be something like that for all I know.
I'm having the same problem with all the 1.5.X versions. Go to save, and it freezes before the save takes place and after 10 seconds or so the music stops. If I use 1.4.7, the save problem disappears, but then the game starts referencing events that did not happen. If I load a 1.4.7 save in 1.5.2, then the options function as they should. Problem with 1.5.X not saving properly gets progressively worse as I progress through game as well, saves alright at first, but a few hours in it gets more and more likely to freeze.
Tried two different brands of card in my device, doesn't make a difference...
Hope these observations help sometime down the road.
I also never had the problem before updating to 1.5.X, so maybe it's not a SD card problem after all. And yes, as far as I remember the first loads/saves after booting the app always work without problems -- it's usually about the third save or so before it freezes.
That's a bit different than what I have. The time the program has been running doesn't affect mine as much as my progression in game. Starting from beginning, saves are fine, but soon only on increasingly rarer occasions can I get a save. It mostly becomes an exercise in remembering the choices I've made and fast forwarding to where I was.
I will note however that I do have a slightly higher success rate in saving (10% vs 5%) if I hurry and save in the first few minutes VNDS has been running once I'm more than a few hours in.
Well, usually the more minutes that go by the more I progress in the game, but I was just talking about the number of saves and loads after starting the game. If I load the game up then load and save games several times in the first few seconds, pretty sure it'd freeze up.
I have the same problem as anon number 6.
It freezes everytime I want I try to save, gonna go back to 1.47 now.
