subsystems, and it does it pretty well, recently we even added &#8220;Super Game Module&#8221; support for CBS ColecoVision.<\/li>\n<li>Many control schemes were added to the core recently, you can now play with mouse, trackball or lightgun, there is also keyboard support for ZX Spectrum.<\/li>\n<li>There was a major improvement to QSound emulation a week ago, now CPS1\/CPS2 sound is clear as day. Actually there was also sound improvements for a lot of other games, leading to faster emulation and clearer sound.<\/li>\n<li>There is now RetroAchievements support for popular arcade games, this implementation even added support for cheats as a side effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>F.A.Q<\/h2>\n<p>Check our <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/libretro\/FBNeo\/blob\/master\/src\/burner\/libretro\/README.md\">F.A.Q<\/a> if you need help !
