Speaking of switching graphics libraries, we've completely switched from pp2d to citro2d. This allowed us to get the QR code reader essentially faster, as well as guarantees full support for the library in the futurity. Huge thank you to LiquidFenrir for doing most of the piece of work of the modify.
Switch to using spritesheets to load the sprites rather than just loading them all into the romfs.
Don't wait for sound to finish loading before displaying the preview image, making previews display in the snappy fashion they used to before the audio player.
Improved banner quality. Thanks to @TurdPooCharger for this.
