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. +This release enables a lot of systems by adding new platforms altogether and by including emulator configuration for previous placeholder entries.
