The splash screen will no longer show twice or more (on multislots) after the backup memory is reset. The memory card format option will no longer wipe the region stored in the memory card on AES hardware. The arcade protect setting can now have either the testmode button pressed or HardDIP 1 on (force test mode) to get access back to the button Codes on the splash screen. Made visual improvements to the main memory card manager menu. Cleaned up screens and messages in the memory card manager, test mode and hardware test. Changed the Cheat database storage slightly. It now takes less space in the Bios which is good thing as space was beginning to become quite tight. Fixed the AES hardware test code (A+B+D) so it also works after the splash screen is drawn. Fixed the hardware error message from disapeering on AES hardware as soon as the hardware test button code (A+B+D) was released.
