Quick reply, thanks

The first kernel is the one in 2008SE package; the second ones are your binaries. My closest binary seems to be

Based on compressed size difference, I'd say that something in the code is changed around there.

Tried it, it doesn't yield the same kernel; true, I don't see how the config may have changed, but not a bad idea to ask

Very unstable, I tried all three versions (12, 24, 48 MHz), all crashes with device reset within minutes of bootup. With the kernel included in the 2008HE, I had 12 hours of uptime streaming live radio, browsing the web, etc. This happens regardless if I use the MMC/swap file or not. Did you apply the wireless driver patches to your MMC kernels ?

It's actually screen rotate. The game draws in lanscape orientation and then I hardware rotate and double the screen. The codebase comes from Nintendo DS, and I sticked the two screens together with rotation and doubling to match the 770 screen; it doesn't fit perfectly, but good enough if you're not picky.
