As you probably know, ETK recently released MegaETK’s source code out to the public for them to upgrade. TeenDev has finished upgrading it and have gotten permission from ETK to release it to the public.

Changes:

Savefile decryption removed.
Fixed for the R4 and M3 Simply and clones.
Sound is disabled in the R4/M3S version in order for the touchscreen to work. This is due to a problem with the Modplayer. (I’ll fix this next release).
Added DLDI Support. Remember to patch!
Fixed random freezings for the most part.
