This release primarily provides improved Neo Geo Pocket/Neo Geo Pocket Color and Sega 32X emulation.

The entire Neo Geo Pocket/Color library is now thought to be playable, with minor graphical issues in four titles.

A small number of SEGA 32X games are now playable, although most still experience graphical and/or audio issues.
