          - increased the number of supported screen resolutions
          - added a triple buffering option '[video] triple_buffer'
            in the pce.ini file (DirectX only feature)
          - added new options in the pce.ini file to filter
            screen resolutions based on size and depth

            and one for fullscreen modes


    v1.1.0:

          - fixed a few bugs in the MJPEG emulation, this fixes
            glitches in 'Chip-chan Kick', 'All Japan Female Pro

            a few other games
          - fixed the missing layer in 'Princess Rolfee'
          - fixed the darker screen problem in 'Miraculum'
          - removed a change introduced in v1.0.1, this fixes

          - improved the OpenGL driver, the 'ARB_render_texture'
            extension is not required anymore, if it's present
            it will be used but if this extension is not available
            a work-around will be used instead
          - rewrote the CD-ROM driver, now both SPTI and ASPI
            are supported at the same time allowing more drives
            to be recognized
          - improved the 'boot CD' menu, games titles are now
            displayed directly in the menu when a game is recognized
          - added an eject button in the 'boot CD' menu
          - fixed a memory bug that could crash the emulator
          - added more resolution choices for the fullscreen mode,
            low resolutions are now supported too
          - implemented back the custom resolution modes,
            you can choose them from the pcfx.ini file
          - improved program startup, the emulator will now starts
            directly in the selected screen mode, it won't display
            a blank startup window anymore
