• Stage Management: Manage your "Extra Stages" list alongside your characters.
• 2D Scrolling & Zoom: Handles large rosters with scrollable grid support.
• Configuration Persistence: Remembers your game paths. Supports both global configuration (AppData) and portable mode (local INI file).
• Auto-Backups: Option to automatically backup select.def before saving.
