- Quick
and easy Game Ports input event remapping support.

for basic
configuration and remap extra buttons using Input GUI.
- Input GUI also includes quick test and remap options. Press any key,
joystick or mouse axis or button and selected input target will be
instantly ready for remapping, no more slow and manual searching.
- "Windows mouse" not supported in test or remap modes.

- CD32 on the fly CD changes, both images and real CDs.
- Autoscale top border position was incorrect in some situations.
- Directory filesystem crash in some situations when attempting
to open non-existing files or directories.
- INTREQR returned bit 15 set in some situations.
- GUI custom CPU frequency was read incorrectly.
- More 68020 "cycle exact" timing fixes (interrupts and blitter).
- 68000 cycle exact too slow CIA interrupt timing.
- Audio filter emulation didn't always follow power led state correctly.
- Amiga to Windows clipboard image sharing failed to convert some image
types.
- Direct3D shader mode is more compatible with Intel integrated
graphics
cards.
- Custom chipset compatibility updates (for example Roots 2.0 / Sanity)
- 68020 "cycle exact" mode improvements.
