- After all this time, I finally took the time to add cps2 emulation to raine. I didn't want to release this version that fast, but since I had left a few bugs in 0.41.3 for air gallet...
So you get 28 fully playable cps2 games in this version (all the original games, but no clones). Credits for cps2 are going first to cps2 shock for their incredible xor tables, and secondly to mame for releasing their source for that. I only had to patch starscream to make it to handle cps2 encryption and fix a few little details to make raine to emulate cps2 ! Since I was short on time, I didn't try to emulate the video priorities yet, but the surprise is that lots of games are running very well without this emulation !!! Try them by yourself, and you'll see...
Notice that most cps2 games are big. mvsc for example requires 110 Mb to run, it's not a problem with modern computers, but it's still very big for a raine game !
Except that I fixed the last bugs in air gallet, fixed a buffer overflow in the history.dat handling, and added cheats for all the new cps2 games. Also I improved the sprites decoding in cps1 & cps2 to save some memory, so lots of games require much less memory now. - 0 replies

- new CD-DA code: faster and better synchro. In case the default settings don't work for you there are three new options in the pce.ini file to control how are managed the CD-DA buffers. The more important option is the buffer size, the higher the slower, the default is 2 now, it was 20 in PR 1.
- added a vsync option, with a special mode for windowed mode.
- cleaned up the gamepad code and added additionnal debugging infos to the log.txt file.
- the ROM path is now saved when you exit.
- added two options to disable the FPS counter and the PSG volume meter.
- enabled the turbo option.
- temporary fix for the boot CD menu bug. Only one drive is listed now even when you have more than one, the one listed will be the first drive that has a PC-Engine CD loaded, if you change it it will change in the menu too. I couldn't test this feature though, so let me know how well it works.

General Improvements
--------------------
Many improvements to Sega System Pre16,16a,16b,18 drivers [Aaron Giles]
Drivers cleaned up
Most known video issues are now fixed
Alien Storm, DDCrew, Clutch Hitter, Laser Ghost, Cotton and
many others have greatly improved video.
Alien Storm is fully playable
DD Crew is fully playable but requires inputs to be fixed
(currently only service coin and controls for 1 player work)
Laser Ghost would probably be playable if the controls were
correctly hooked up
Moonwalker requires improvements to the MCU emulation
We will now accept bug reports at Mametesters.org for any games
running on the following drivers
segas16a.c, segas16b.c, segas18.c
Most of the bootlegs are still running on system16.c, please do
not report bugs for these, nor for outrun or afterburner hardware.
