Here is the changelog for the current version:

Recently, XQuader surprised us with the news that it has ported the Nintendo DS emulator (DraStic) for the GarlicOS and MinUI Custom Firmwares, and although it is still in a very early phase of development, it seems to work wonderfully.

You can download the version you need from their Blog at https://boosty.to/xquader/posts/47360a44-633c-4cbe-892f-46930c9f7b9f?share=post_link

budtherooster contacted me via Discord recently to inform me that the Port of Wolfenstein Spear of Destiny that we had on the page only allowed one episode of the game to be played, and that they had created an update in which we could play all the episodes.
So after providing me with the necessary files, we have re-uploaded and updated them so that we can enjoy them, so it is now available for download in our Ports for GarlicOS section.

A few days ago, XQuader sent me an update of this application for our consoles, music player, which now also:

– September 18, 2023:

4) Add WavPack (.wv, .wvc) support

You can download the latest version from our Apps section for GarlicOs

     XQuader, the great developer that has been giving us so many good updates lately, has updated MPlayer again to support HDMI output so we can enjoy our content on a larger screen! And you can also connect the HDMI whenever you want, without having to plug it in before turning on the console! (Or at least that’s what I understood, since I haven’t been able to test it yet)
You have the download now available from our APPS Section for GarlicOS

And if you need content to watch, stop by our Retro TV section

     This new Mod, for GarlicOs, allows us to create collections of games in our Favorites. What this Mod does is create a new System for us, with its icon, and inside we will find our game collections. Selecting one of them will replace the Favorites that we have in Garlic at that moment, but it will not delete anything, it will only change its place, so we can enjoy several different “Favorites” as a collection…
It allows you to rename the collections to your liking, and everything you do is reversible since it makes backup copies. Ideal for creating your collections of platform games, racing games, fighting games…

You can download it in our Mods for GarlicOs section

     After several days of work together with RetroMateo, and many trial/error tests, until I have finally been able to make all the boot animations that I had prepared for a long time work correctly, and more that will come now that I have managed to optimize and synchronize them the image and sound correctly, (problem that has taken me several days to solve).
You already have them available to download from the new section of the web Boot Animations for GarlicOS, and they are compatible with the Boot Animation Switcher APP that you have available in the Apps for GarlicOS section.
Here some examples:
