Gens/GS R7 Release 7 Packaging Update 1 is released.Gens/GS is a version of Gens maintained by GerbilSoft. The main goal of Gens/GS is to clean up the source code and combine features from various forks of Gens.

Gens/GS Release 7 Packaging Update 1 Changelog:
* [Win32] Full Unicode support on Windows NT. Additionally, ANSI strings on Windows 9x will be converted to UTF-8 for cross-platform compatibility.
* Physical CD-ROM abstraction layer. BIN/CUE support may be added, too.
* Shift-JIS title decoder for some Japanese ROMs.
* [Linux] IRC Reporter plugin to report the current ROM to IRC clients.
* New onscreen display font, based on UNI-VGA and GNU Unifont, with support for most of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. (ASCII characters [U+0000 - U+007F] will be included in the binary, but all other characters will be stored in external custom font files.)
* [Linux] Initial VDP Debugging plugin with all the functionality currently available in the built-in VDP debugger, plus a sprite viewer and Sonic sprite mapping viewer.
o Sprite viewer shows hardware sprites. [Not Started]
o Sonic sprite mapping viewer shows full sprites using the mapping system found in Sonic games. [Not Started]
* The VDP rendering and I/O code is being ported from x86 assembly language to C++. Some notable improvements in this port:
o The per-line sprite limit is now respected. (16 sprites per line in H32; 20 in H40.)
o Border color is now rendered in the VDP code instead of in the video drawing backends.
o V30 (240-line) resolution is now supported in NTSC. That is, it works like it does on the real console: VBlank is reduced to 30 Hz, and the picture rolls. (V30 still works normally in PAL.)
* SegaCD: The BRAM cartridge emulation now allows 128 KB, 256 KB, and 512 KB cartridges. (Default is still 64 KB)
