Genesis/Sega CD Emulator for PSP

Here is another bugfix release from me (with a few new features):

 

* mp3 code should no longer fail on 1.5 firmware.

* added gamma adjustment option.

* added .cso ISO format support. Useful for non-FMV games.

* it is now possile to force a region after the ROM is loaded.

* fixed a sram bug in memhandlers (fixes Shining in the Darkness saves).

* fixed another bug in memhanlers, which crashed the emu for some games (like NBA Jam and NHL 9x).

* added suspend/resume handling for Sega CD games.

* some other small tweaks I forgot about.

 

That's all for this update. The CSO feature should help to save space on the memstick (standard ISO to CSO converters should work), but it slows down FMV games. I've tested this version on original 1.5, and on 3.52M33, 3.71M33-3 custom firmwares, so it should hopefully work for everyone now.
