What's New:
"... the main reason you might want to give these a test-drive is the new code for the Nemesis colours, as covered below, however there are some other things worth talking about.
There have been a number of additional regression fixes etc. from the team submitted over the last week or so to combat issues caused by recent refactoring so these builds should be once again more stable than the last ones. Work has also continued on the MSX and Amiga driver reworking, check the change logs for details there.
One thing that seems to have slipped under the radar on all the MAME news sites is Any’s dumping / addition of the Konami game ‘Step Champ’ This, until now, was an unemulated Konami competitive Minigame collection with a step pad a little like the Dance games they made so popular (and no surprise one of the mini-games is a dance based one)"

What's New:
- Avoid heap double free is PsCreateThread() proxy
What's New:
- Snapshots are now 4:3 so that the images won't be distorted; new dimensions are 562x422
- Added a new config option that lets you select the game list Big Blue uses; this allows you to have multiple game lists for horizontal and vertical games, for example
- Removed the baked-in shadow from the snapshot border graphics
- Major optimizations to the pixel shaders; sunset/night performance should be almost indistinguishable from day performance now
- Various optimizations and caching added to improve performance
- Snapshots are now loaded up front, so Big Blue uses more memory on startup, but if you scrolled through the whole game list before, you'd use the same amount of memory anyway
- Pixel shader was applied to "FIGHT!" graphics on accident
- Big Blue is no longer "always on top" of the Windows desktop
- Big Blue now automatically refocuses the window after exiting the program it launched
- Added more error handling and defaults so that Big Blue will still function even if config.xml is completely missing
- New rotation options: 0 degrees (off), 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees
- Broke up program and snapshots into two separate archives because I was hitting the Google Sites file size limit

What's New:
Changed
- Changes to the thumbnails view mode; thanks to Fabian for reporting bugs on this feature and helping with beta testing
* thumbnail cell resize when hiding game titles
* if using game fonts of different sizes (parent font, clones font, preliminary font, etc) the thumbnail cell will update based to the biggest font, to fix screen garbage
* thumbnail cell resize when editing game fonts (parent, clones, preliminary, etc)... no need to be in thumbnails view mode
* thumbnails settings screen updated to include a "Confirm" button (apply settings and close dialog)
* new setting "Keep Aspect Ratio", enabled by default. If you want the image to fill the entire thumbnail cell, uncheck this option
* new generate thumbnail function to work with aspect ratio disabled; this one also does anti-aliasing... sharpening code from previous function actually made thumb images worse!!
* fixed huge ammounts of memory leaks by placing GlobalThreadManager.FlushMessageCache() calls BEFORE reinitializing thumbnails... same fix for MAMu_ icons
- Search bar changes
* removed fiter title bar; edit box hint now show the current filter title
* a grayed out "Search games..." text is displayed if edit box is empty
* buttons/icons size changed to match the edit box
* removed filter search pattern button and replaced it by a small down arrow button inside the edit box (preliminary)
* edit box width increased by 20 pixels
Added
- New setting "Show Games Status Bar", enabled by default. Unckeck it to hide the status bar below the games list (main menu "View")
