Special thanks:
I'd like to give a very special thanks to Optomon for giving permission to use his amazing Guardian Legend Secret Edition hack to add the SRAM Saving function to it!

Note:
Originally, I had tried to convert Secret Edition to MMC3 for the SRAM Saving function. However, for whatever reason, the MMC3 conversion fails with the hack. So, I had to go with the MMC5 patch instead. Because of the MMC5 conversion, there is a static noise in the background during silence due to the DPCM noise channel.
