vbsms+ 3.1 Released

[olaf]

I saw there was a demand for TAS-capable SMS/GG emulators, so I figured I'd take a whack at it. I went a different route with rewinding and resuming recording through save states. Rewinds are saved forever until you clear them yourself on a per game basis. Here's the change log and there was also a new contributor, benryves of Cogwheel. Oh yeah, it passes ZEXALL now thanks to brom.

The webpage is here as always. If it receives good reception from the TAS scene, I'll keep working on it in the vein of TAS emulators.
