Front End

Hello again. Version 4.9.8.1 is up. If you want version 4.9.8 you can grab the update to save bandwidth. I suggest you read the change log before using this build though.

This build has a few changes, nice fixes and a new message box, Vista style... )

I also added two more systems into the games filter: "Konami Viper System" [viper.c] and "Sega Naomi" [naomi.c]. Naomi will probably be expanded in the future though.

Have fun!

After many weeks in development, we finally bring you an eXclusive 1Emulation Review of the R4DS Flashcard!
