– **Grid view with cover art** (sizes Tiny to Extra Large, Ctrl+wheel to resize, rounded corners, captions, card frame), with cached covers.
– **Search bar and filters** (`region:`, `console:`, `genre:`, `type:`, `fav:`), plus a filter bar by console, genre and region.
– **Several ROM folders** with exclusions; subfolders are scanned.
– Favorites, a Recently Played group, Group by Console, an A-Z strip, more sortable columns, Clean Game Names (also in File → Recent Files), and list spacing.
– Per-game right-click menu: play with a state, cheats, cover, favorite, desktop shortcut.
Saving
– **Auto Resume** with a « resume next time » box on exit.

Controls window and combos

– **Profiles** (Load / New / Save / Delete) store both players, pad types and combos in the `profiles` folder.
