* New, threaded GUI using wxWidgets.
* New menus, for improved usability and faster configuration.
* Convenient Memory Card editor.
* On the fly pause and resume, perfectly stable, safe and fast.
* On the fly setting switching and even plugin switching.
* Powerful new configuration that is more user friendly with its first time wizard, reset to default buttons and a global presets system.
* A plethora of new options that make playing games more fun!
* All options have tooltips explaining what each of them do.
