Coming soon in my openMenu/Card Manager fork: extremely fast SD card loading 😎
This is 656 disc images totaling 568 GB of data, loading in about one second.
Once ready, I'll bring this code over to Orbital Organizer too.

I always felt openMenu needed to report the current GDEMU firmware version like the old gdMenu does, so I added it!
