The v1.7.0, first version to supports SBS videos is here!!!!!

Changes
Controls is now always displayed on bottom screen unless settings is opened.
File explorer close button has been changed from Y to X.
Move contents mode is now disabled by default.
Support for SBS (side-by-side) videos have been added.
Improved OOM recovery on HW decoder and dav1d decoder.
Ported performance improvement from a fork project.

Fixed bugs
Decoding stall (causing frequent "processing video") on media files that contain unsupported codec has been fixed.
Initial video position has been fixed (it was slightly offset right depending on videos).

About high RAM cia
`..._high_ram.cia` can use more RAM than normal `.cia` and `.3dsx`, this can reduce chance of getting `out of (linear) memory` errors.
When you open/close it your 3DS will reboot so it may take a while to open/close the app, and you can't use the Internet browser while you are using it.
