C16, VIC20:
- Vertical crop for integer scale on popular widescreen resolutions.

Genesis,MegaCD,SNES,NES,NeoGeo,TurboGrafx-16,SMS,ColecoVision:
- Support for vertical+horizontal integer scaling.
- Update the framework
- NES: fix audio pop upon reset (Kitrinx).
- SNES: Option for force 256px mode (better for horizontal integer scaling).
Note: disable force_scandoubler and vscale_mode in INI file and set Scandoubler FX to none in OSD for better integer scaling.


Main:
- video: adjust stride setting for more compact buffer.
- input: don't merge gamepads on Xbox 360 wireless receiver.
- x86: prevent inlining of memcpyb function (dir command hang on shared folder).


Menu:
- Update the framework.

Main:
- Support HV-Integer scale for AtariST, Minimig and Archie cores.
- USB MIDI tweak from BinaryBond007

Minimig:
- Support for HV-Integer scale.
- Option for Adaptive pixel clock (helps HV-Integer scaling).
Note1: You have to update Main as well.
Note2: Due to highly variable resolutions and pixel clock HV-Integer doesn't work well in all cases. Adaptive pixel clock helps to fit some resolutions better. "Adjust screen position" may also help to fit specific resolutions.

Atari ST:
- Support for HV-Integer scaling.
- Border option with 216p crop (only for 1080p).
Note: You have to update Main as well.

Archie:
- Support for HV-Integer scaling.
Note: you have to update Main as well.
