Zega Alpha v3.2

EmuCR: Zega AlphaZega Alpha v3.2 is released. Zega Alpha is an enhanced version of vbsms and emulates the Sega Mark III, Master System, and Game Gear on Windows. This allows you to play your favorite 8-bit Sega games on your computer without having to break out the ol' Sega. It should work with all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows computers.

Features:
The emulator this one was based on was originally pretty bare. It would only play Master System games by dragging and dropping them to the window, and even then without sound and unalterable keyboard controls and window size. Here's a list of what's new since then...

- Play almost any Mark III, Master System, or Game Gear game
- Play with your PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii controllers with the right adapters
- Full menu system inspired by Final Burn Alpha and full screen mode
- Games that use the Master System's Paddle Control can be played
- Use Pro Action Replay codes, rapid fire, or slow down gameplay to beat difficult levels
- Save and load any point in-game with the save state function
- Record and play movies of your gameplay or save screenshots
- Rewind if you lose a life even while you're recording gameplay
- A memory editor with value search capability for cheating and technical purposes
- Disable the background or sprite layer to rip graphics
