This release also comes in different “flavors” as Kreationz put it. “Lite” has only the essentials to play, no more than that, so it comes at less than 1MB. There’s the expansion, which features controller configs and box art for most ROMs, thanks to the JPEG support. There’s the full version, which is a combination of both Lite and the expansion, which is recommended for most users to give them the full experience.
Then for debuggers, there’s the Developer package, which is built in debug mode.
Only the Lite version is available so far at SourceForge, so we’ll update this post as soon as the others arrive. Well, that’s about it, download and enjoy!
