C64 Dreams v0.20

Version 0.20 of C64 Dreams is now available (I know, I skipped a version number, but this one's kindof a milestone so... shennanigans!). It features 300 new games (for a new total of 2000!) and a number of other improvements and changes.
DOWNLOAD HERE (temporarily down while new version is being uploaded :) )
The magazine module (optional) for the local (.cbr) versions can be found here (temporarily down while new version is being uploaded :) )
The game details spreadsheet has been updated accordingly.

New:
Added virtual keyboard function to controller - accessible by pressing Y (on a 360/XB1 controller)
Created a configurator (C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams\Configurator.exe) for quickly changing overlays, shaders, and the base config
Added a new shader preset called Esper C64 (requires dedicated video card - not integrated - and a fast-ish PC) - this is not the default, but can be quickly selected through the configurator
Updated core to newest version as of 3/9/20 - brings new SID engine ReSID-3.3 which improves audio quality (updated all option files accordingly to use it) and new zoom features
Converted from using custom screen cropping for everything to using new zoom settings in core options, this eliminates the need for per-resolution base settings and even eliminates the need for game-specific cropping in many instances (though not all) if you are using a 16:9 display. If it's 4:3, 5:4, etc. it will need some adjustment (it would have anyway, in the past). The remaining games that still need resolution-specific cropping are as follows:
Alien Syndrome
Ballblazer
Brainway
Draconus
Forgotten Forest
Frogger Arcade
Gemini Wing
Genesia
Tiger Claw
Turbo Outrun
Zolyx
Created new bezels to accommodate for adjusted dimensions of new zoom settings, both for normal (PAL) and NTSC games - options are Bruce Lee (default), Project Firestart, Retrograde, Times of Lore, Ultima III, X-Out, and blank (empty first overlay image, second is the controls image)
Added Blast From the Past volumes 16-25
Added 64 games to Best Of Vol. 4
Added custom controls to Renegade

Changes/Fixes:
Updated Lunatico demo to use model C64C
Updated code in automation tools so that no manual adjustments are necessary anymore (replacing .cmd names, changing file extensions for t64 or d81, etc.) with the exception of multi-disk games and games that need the program specified in the .cmd
Corrected Cyborg 2900 to start the correct game - it was on a multi-game disk and was starting a game called Bomb Squad instead
Disabled unified menu controls to make navigating the RA UI a little easier for those that want to
Enabled Protovision adapter for 8bit-Slicks to allow up to 4 simultaneous players (now supported in 2020 update)
Removed second disk from Aliens - The Computer Game (Electric Dreams) because it wasn't necessary
Corrected Defender, Donkey Kong (Atari), Head Over Heels, The Heist, P.O.D., Realm of Impossibility, and Target Renegade to use joystick port 1
Created single .d81 disk images for a few multi-disk games so disk-swapping is no longer necessary - games included are Chester Field, Dark Lord, Metal Warrior 4, Out Run Europa, and Take Down; backups of the multi-disk .d64 versions are available in Games\!Backups\!D81 Conversion Backups as a precaution
Added virtual keyboard mapping to controller layout reference sheet and overlays
Changed Donkey Kong (Atari) to NTSC and adjusted cropping accordingly
Added custom control for a few games that need you to press ` (tilde) to leave docs/trainer screens which sets this to the start button - games included are Border Blast 2, Dante's Department Store, Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk, Hopping Mad, IO, Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, Super G-Man, Up'n Down, Warp, and Wheel of Fortune
Added map as third overlay screen for Times of Lore
Cleared emumovies and retroachievements fields in LB
Renamed Fistfull of Bucks, A to Fistful of Bucks, A, The Magic Candle to Magic Candle, The, Realms of Impossibility to Realm of Impossibility, and Sword of Honor to Sword of Honour and updated LB paths
Deleted old (unused) files for Operation Wolf, Rolling Ronny, Shadow of the Beast, and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - The Coin-Op
Changed default frame delay value from 3 to 1 (making it a little less hardware intensive by default). I do recommend changing it to 3+ if your PC can handle it though. The higher the value, the lower the input latency. You can quickly adjust this by using the Configurator, using the "Config Editor" function, and changing the value for video_frame_delay =
Miscellaneous:
Removed about 4000 unnecessary files from Retroarch folder

8bit-Slicks

As something a bit new, I decided to bring special attention to a few new games in this release. The whole thing is curated to begin with, so it's kindof all one gigantic "best of", but these games in particular really stood out in this batch, all of which were new to me except for Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator.
Favorite modern game in v0.20:
Atic Atac
Runners up:
King's Valley L'Abbaye des Morts Metal Warrior (series) Old Tower
Favorite retro game in v0.20:
Gemstone Healer
Runners up:
Gemstone Warrior Gremlins Hermetic Labertino Mad Nurse Mermaid Madness Postman Pat Star Trek - Strategic Operations Simulator Super G-Man [this was a pretty close second]
Have fun! If anyone has any issues, please let me know.
I will be getting back to normal releases before doing another update for this. I just kindof wanted to get to this point as a sortof good place to pause first.
