is now fixed.<br \/>\n* &#8216;Detect&#8217; button for manual input binding for touchless devices.<br \/>\n* Old overlays are back and put into a directory called &#8216;Low-resolution&#8217; for devices with slower CPUs &#8211;<br \/>\nthe higher-resolution ones are somewhat more demanding than the original 256&#215;256 ones.<br \/>\n* Input autodetection expanded &#8211;<br \/>\n&#8211;

Fixes 50Hz PAL games (were running with sound being too fast and other irregularities before)<br \/>\n&#8211; Should fix emu crashing on some devices due to memory mapping issues.<br \/>\n* New system-specific overlays added &#8211; on new installs only these new ones will be there and the old bad ones will no longer be there. On pre-existing installs &#8211; just use the new ones &#8211; they should be much better. If you&#8217;re still unsatisfied, nothing is stopping you from editing these files yourself with a text editor and an image editor &#8211; it&#8217;s really simple to do.<br \/>\n* New &#8216;custom binding&#8217; when you turn off &#8216;Configuration Autodetect Enable&#8217; &#8211; allows you to manually put in button mapping in case we don&#8217;t support your pad.
