 - ELF paths are not checked by the patcher, so every named entry from FMCB config file is displayed in hacked OSDSYS menu
 - Support for launching applications from MMCE, MX4SIO and APA- and exFAT-formatted HDDs
 - CD/DVD support was extended to support skipping PS2LOGO, mounting VMCs on MMCE devices, showing visual GameID for PixelFX devices and booting DKWDRV for PS1 discs
+- Enhanced support for MechaPwn-patched systems:
+  - PS2LOGO is patched to always use the disc region
+  - OSDSYS disc key check is patched out to fix DVD master discs being detected as "invalid"
 - Integrated Neutrino GSM for disc games and applications
 - "Unlimited" number of paths for each entry
 - Support for 1080i and 480p (as line-doubled 240p) video modes
