DS Visual Novel Reader 1.3.4
A few versions have been missed

​

A few updates to Jake's Visual Novel Reader, designed to play visual novels created in .scr format. Mainly bug fixes, existing users (pre-1.3.1) must note that saves are now using a new XML format, so previous saves must be converted using the python script in the "tools" directory. Download below.
