- Adds Commslink I/O background check in Pseudo Saturn Kai, Save Data Manager, and RmenuKai/Fenrir Loader Kai utilities. (No need to flash cartridge to get link between Saturn and PC : Save Data Manager is enough for that) / (No longer need to manually set EMS/Datel link type : it is now automatically detected)

- Many minor fixes and improvements in Save Data Manager.
Another thing not mentioned in the digest changelog is that “Super Prologue 21 Games Vol.1” is now playable in Pseudo Saturn Kai without the need to patch it. Shouts to Knight0fDragon for the cheat code, and thanks to him and Rikapso for their Shining the Holy Ark and Shining Force 3 save files which have been added to Save Data Manager
The next development goal will be disc image selection for Satiator ODE. Huge thanks and shouts to cafe-alpha for creating this patch and to privateye for reporting bugs, which has helped greatly in making it a highly polished release!
