Kickstart ROM scanner and autodetection. (Only official ROMs supported). Old-style ROM selection is still supported.
User configurable graphics filter presets.
Scaling support in all software filters.
Paths-panel added. User configurable ROM, statefile, screenshot, etc. paths.
Automatically return back to GUI if Kickstart ROM fails to load.
Added help-tooltips here and there.
More compatible paraport direct parallel port support.
