Maybe I like a system that is not a resource hog and not much improvements except eye candy plus still works with most compilers without going crazy to find a way around a bad way to stop you plus on top of it had less problems with xp 64 then windows 7 better then vista but still
and xp both are supported by ms until 2014 not 6 months
Please at least if you are going to run me down use accurate facts

If someone shows antivirus popup is a false positive, i've cracked a tool for embed files and shows me virus warning too, but is a false positive

Someone have any error? Please feel free to comment

I find that your idea about the keys files is very clever... however it is not standard for future keys.

If you don't like hundreds of files, you could consider the scetool's Keys format (plain text)

BTW it's a great tool (as everything you release). I love your GUI! - except the BG music

Thanks so much @aldostools

Yes, i think that too about keys and i´m doing a "prototype" for put all keys in a plain text file

And the BG music was for testing and finally added it, i will change that BG music in next update (very close)

Thanks again @aldostools
