Better speed
Changed the 68000 CPU core (now A68K. Faster and more accurate)
Optimised Rowscroll
Optimised sprites
Optimised Z80 handling
Better compatibility
Fixed just every known CPS1 bug !
Added P3 and P4 to CPS1 games
Added P3 for Armored Warriors and its clones
Fixed missing rowscroll on Vampire "VS" screen
Modification in the sprite banking system. Makes Vampire and SSF2T a lot smoother.
Various glitches thanks to new 68000 core. CPS2 games run at 11.8MHz too, now (that's the true hardware speed)
Better macros
New '+' token. If you use '+' in a macro, this macro will allow input from the player during its execution. Ex: Macro1A=123+ Will allow you to press one direction while executing the 3 punch macro. (SFA3 projections...)
Better savestates
Because of new core, savestate format had to be updated. Most savestates from anterior versions are accepted by this version, but savestates generated with this version can't be used on older Kawaks. New saves are a lot smaller, because they are now RLE compressed.
Dipswitches for CPS1 games. They are saved to each game's ini.
New font for on screen display and added settings in the INI to control its color.
Fixed the glitch in the last line in fullscreen 2xSai and spin-off engines
Fixed a border blinking bug with some gfx cards in full screen
New "Mono sound" option. My mono headphones likes that.
Added option to log sound to HD (16Bits Stereo RAW format, any sound editor can read that...)
New options to disable individually the 4 OKI channels (CPS1 sound effects) Handy to rip those SF2 musics :D
Fixed some editing errors in the Kawaks mascots :)
