Release Name: R3

 

* Support for large (i.e. 8MB+) roms has been added, resulting in significantly more roms being able to boot.

* The same change also freed up around 6MB of memory which allows many roms to run for longer.

* A few new combiner modes were added which fixed a few graphical glitches in the roms that are running.
