ArkOS Dual SD Manager

ArkOS Dual SD Manager is a Bash script designed for ArkOS that allows easy dual SD card management.

The script automatically detects the presence of a second SD card and merges the ROM folders so the system can use both cards as a single library.

It also provides automatic save synchronization between the two cards.
