NES/GBA/GB/Lynx/PC Engine/PC-FX/Wonderswan/Genesis/SNES/VirtualBoy emulator has been updated recently. Changes:
This release renames a lot of settings, but the old setting names can still be used in the configuration file(will be replaced by the new setting name on Mednafen exit) and on the command line. See the ChangeLog for a full list of renamed settings.

The "dfmd5", "filesys.*_samedir", and "snapname" settings have been removed. Use the replacement "filesys.fname_*" format-string settings(see documentation) to achieve similar functionality if desired.

Custom palette/colormap related settings have all been removed, in favor of automatically loading modulenamehere.pal(IE "nes.pal", "pce.pal", "gba.pal") from the "palettes" directory under the Mednafen base directory.

QuickTime movie recording has been added. Pass for example "-qtrecord /path/to/whatever.mov" on the command line to record a movie. If the target file already exists, it will not be overwritten, and Mednafen will error out on startup. Three lossless codecs are supported, see "qtrecord.vcodec" in the documentation. The old "MMM" custom-format recording and playback code has been removed.

NES VS Unisystem palettes have been updated.

PCE VDC emulation has been altered a bit, particularly in regards to wait states and line horizontal timing versus hsync input. "Star Breaker" no longer crashes when leaving the town.

PCE emulation now synchronizes and updates physical device input mid-frame. This allows for slightly lower latency in certain games, and makes "Takeda Shingen" playable.

Keyboard latency has been reduced by 1 video frame in the context of virtual device emulation(IE command key/hotkey latency is unaffected).

SNES input latency has been reduced by 1 video frame.
