New SAROO v.0.7!

I didn't see any posts about this, might as well let everyone know ICYMI.
SAROO v.0.7 was released on Christmas Eve!
https://github.com/tpunix/SAROO/releases
Here is the list of new features and improvements (translated):
  • Add game cover display function
    • Put cover.bin in the SAROO folder
    • When displaying the cover, the left arrow key can switch the layer of the cover display
  • Add the function of starting a burnt disc :woot:
  • Support virtual memory card and system archive coexistence
    • You can easily exchange archives (saved games) in the (Saturn's) archive management interface
  • Better BIOS compatibility
  • Better handle compatibility
  • Added Greek, Polish and Swedish (menu languages)
I'm playing around with this new version, no hiccups so far. I can start a burnt CD, not sure if it's using the Pseudo Kai code or something else though. I'm able to copy saves from SAROO to the system memory and the other way around, rendering the tutorial I recently made unnecessary, but very happy that's the case.
The cover.bin is provided with the SAROO distribution, the author will have a way to customize and create your own game covers in a future version.

Happy Holidays!
 
As far as I can tell the "better compatibility" is just more game specific patches and some checks to cover the Samsung Saturn when they they mess with the call stack for the pointers to BIOS functions. If you don't care about accuracy or doing dev work it's ok I guess.
 
KoF 95 PAL now working fine.
Finally the function to exchange saves, I didn't wanna bother with the pc tool and didn't convert my backup cart ones. After many cart changes to copy from cart to system to Saroo, now everything lies in one place. Hello again year 1999 savegames.
