Changes:

• Forgotten Worlds and Arhena the Amazon: Special Edition - set to use port 1 so as to only have 1 player in use by default

• Moved keyboard combo key from numpad asterisk to numpad minus, because numpad asterisk is actually the Vice core's internally mapped kep for swapping joystick ports; also shifted over previous and next disk hotkeys from numpad 7 and 8 to numpad 8 and 9 as result

New:

• Some games now have custom notes on the control screen! This is a work in progress and more will be added over time.

• Controls/notes display now has a keyboard hotkey - numpad plus; press numpad minus + numpad plus to display it, then again to go back to the game.

• Created some new overlays (bezels) - Black Tiger, Retrograde, and Supremacy - these can be toggled between by going to C64 Dreams > C64 Dreams > Utilities > Overlays and starting the relevant .bat. Project Firestart is the default.

• Group and version fields added to game details spreadsheet. This is a work in progress and more information will be added over time.

• Created custom Antimicro profiles for Aquaplane, Death Bringer, and Thrust

Misc:

• Trimmed some unnecessary files from Retroarch - reduced size by about 150MB

• Added many titles to Best Of - Vol. 3. It now has 123 games.

• 221B Baker Street

Just a reminder, but if you're not using 1080p, you're going to need to change the resolution setting via C64 Dreams > C64 Dreams > Utilities > Screen Resolution Adjustment and then starting one of the .bats. There are options for 1080p (default / complete), 1600x900, 1440p, and 4k. For games that have custom dimension settings (there are 25 of these), the dimensions will need to be adjusted to meet your resolution needs. Launchbox user jophran has made them for 1600x900, minus the new ones that were added in this set, but none of the others are covered. If anyone who has access to a 1440p or 4k monitor would like to assist with this, please let me know.
