Please note that ROMs must be legally obtained by the end-user. Please don't ask me where to get them, although constructive feedback on the emulator itself is welcome, including feature requests. I am a lone programmer and am not affiliated with Sega in any way. I hope you enjoy what I've created with MasterEmu!

* Updated SDL version and other build dependencies for both the Java and C codebases.

* Adjusted colour of buttons.
* Various bug fixes/modernisations all over the place.
