Changelog

v1.1

• No more garbled/blank screens or freezes when pressing Home or closing/reopening the 3DS or playing with the 3D slider
• Ability to run a new game without restarting blargSnes
• Screenshot function
• Support for external borders
• Support for backgrounds with 16x16 tiles. Super Bomberman games are finally playable.
• Brightness, color math (blending) and windows added. Many games look nicer this way.
• Several PPU speedups
• Speedhacking disabled (it was error-prone, not that efficient, and broke HDMA)
