I heard that BLU+ has a new lcd and that it has trouble with homebrew application only.
Why is commercial games not affected ?
The answer I could guess is that the commercial SDK is using the Bios to init the LCD, so using the corrected bios for BLU+ there is no trouble and no need to recompile the application,
but does the homebrew gamepark sdk don't use the bios ?
I don't really understand why there is such a problem.
Why don't use the bios swi to init the lcd in mirko sdk ? this should avoid the problem too, no ?
 
Some programs initialize the LCD themselves instead of using the bios calls, thus the problem with BLU+'s

Another thing to note is that everything has one pixel line on the bottom that's supposed to be on the top (again, another LCD difference)

And Mirko's SDK is trying to be a totally separate SDK (no dependence on GP BIOS, etc) so it doesn't use the bios calls at all...
