Important paths
(which contains the required parameters that have to be valid for a correct emultation),Global emulation
(which contains Neo Geo default emulation options for all Roms) andOther things
(which mostly contains XGngeo-specific parameters). - Improvements on the Rom list window which now features, for the first time in a Gngeo frontend ever, the possibility to set Rom-specific emulation options! ^___^";

Joystick
section, merged with theAudio
one, where you can, among others, modify the joystick devices used by the two players. - Improved key configurator which, among others, now displays the key names in place of their SDL values.

).
- Better handling of parameters in configurations files.
