Nintendo-Scene

CYBER_Aeon has released version two of his online Nintendo DS chess homebrew game, ChessNET DS. With this release, many of the bugs from the first version have been fixed, such as the victory on check bug. Be sure to finish any local games you are currently playing from version 1, as they will be erased due to a server reset.

From the release notes:

Alright everybody. Here’s the somewhat-long-awaited Release 2. There’s still plenty of room for improvement down the road, but I think you’ll all be quite pleased with the new designs and bugfixes.

This update will also reset any local games you were playing. Finish them first if you don’t want to lose them.
