Added volume for sound system. Fixes for sound system. Added in support for compiling under MinGW because VS2008 doesn't support Windows 95/98. Fixed everything MinGW complained about and a bug that kept Win98 from working. Added option to just shutdown without any of the Windows popups. Added option to launch a program on exit. Added option to keep the selection line in the center of the display and just scroll the games up and down. Changed sound system init to match Fmod EX best practice to attempt to avoid problems. Improved the image cacheing performance.
Added the ability to have a static background image or a background image that changes per game (such as the flyers/screenshots). Added support for displaying either gif, jpg, or png files. When loading images, the system now finds the first file that matches the game name and uses that. Changed from using the FMOD library to the FMOD Ex library. The music player now supports everything that FMOD Ex can play (see http://www.fmod.org/index.php/products/fmodexdetailed). Change the music tags so they work better and change as the song changes on streaming songs. Added the ability to automatically shutdown the computer when the program closes. Added image caching that will greatly improve performance.
Added centering of game list text - Justification in the ini file should be set to either Left or Center. Added support for more filtering of controller types and hopefully fixed that once and for all. Fixed a lot of stuff involved with controllers - gamecache.xml needs to be deleted when upgrading to this version and ControllerTypes in the ini file needs to be set to 0xFFFF to see everything. Fixed some memory leaks. Added RequireParentForClones to ini file - if set, a clone's parent must exist for the clone to display. Added Gameoptions section to the ini to provide more control over game names and removal of a particular game if it is unwanted.
