vbsms+ v3.1 released

[Azul Fria]

Note from author Olafcore:

I saw there was a demand for TAS-capable SMS/GG emulators, so I figured I'd take a whack at it. I went a different route with rewinding and resuming recording through save states. Rewinds are saved forever until you clear them yourself on a per game basis. Here's the change log and there was also a new contributor, benryves of Cogwheel. Oh yeah, it passes ZEXALL now thanks to brom.

- added various fixes to the vdp, including horizontal sprite zooming [benryves]
- added 3d disabling for games that are supposed to use the segascope 3d glasses [olaf]
- added dx7vb.dll to the source's zip for compiling on windows 7 [olaf]
- added the load rom shortcut key in full screen mode [olaf]
- added a compatibility hack for '[bios] alex kidd in miracle world (korea)' [olaf]
- added slow motion throttles (50%, 25%, 12%, 6%, and 3%) [olaf]
- added rewinding (works with movie states and saves at an interval of 1 second) [olaf]
- added 'reset and record' option for movie states [olaf]
- added a play time pop up window to the end of movie playback [olaf]
- added resuming recording from a save state [olaf]
- removed a bug in handling of game gear rom filenames [olaf]
- removed the disabling of gg's border [olaf]
- removed the gg's start button in sms mode and removed sms's pause button in gg mode [olaf]
- removed the sms's second input in gg mode [olaf]
- removed a bug with rapid fire in gg mode [olaf]
- removed a bug that did not allow pc gamepad input during movie recording [olaf]
- removed the sms's region code in gg mode [olaf]
- removed the bugs in the z80 core which now allow vbsms+ to pass the zexall test [brom]
- removed a bug when you tried to play a movie while already recording [olaf]
- removed a bug where movie states were using the save state slot number [olaf]
- removed avi recording (there was no sound and i never planned on working on it) [olaf]
- changed some sound code around and now it sounds better [brom]
- changed default window size to 2x and default full screen size to 640x480 [olaf]
- changed the region submenu around (now with proper pal/ntsc modes too) [olaf]
- changed the gg to its proper speed (always ntsc mode) [olaf]
- changed some other menus/submenus around [olaf]
- changed "fast forwarding" to 'no throttle' [olaf]
- changed sprite limiting to enabled by default for the sake of accuracy [olaf]
- changed 'rapid fire unit' to 'rapid fire' since there was no rfu for gg [olaf]
- changed movie states to overwrite if there's already a movie state on the slot [olaf]

The webpage is here as always. If it receives good reception from the TAS scene, I'll keep working on it in the vein of TAS emulators.
