### Release overview
In this release a lot of systems have been enabled by adding new platforms altogether and by including emulator configuration for previous placeholder entries. A number of additional standalone emulators have been added as well. The newly released PCSX2 Qt standalone emulator has replaced the old PCSX2 release which has been designated a legacy emulator. Connection timeout support has also been added to the scraper which among other things makes it possible to continue scraping after resuming a computer that went to sleep when the scraper was running.

In general .zip or .7z files are recommended for smaller-sized games like those from older systems (assuming the emulator supports it). But for CD-based systems it's not a good approach as uncompressing the larger CD images takes quite some time, leading to slow game launches. As explained above, converting CD images to CHD files is a better solution for achieving file compression while still enjoying fast game launches.
