I'm pretty sure Twin Galaxies wont accept scores with pause and fastforward, hence the change. If someone researches TG's rules and finds out that is wrong then we can keep them.

Old movies will be opened with the old emulator, new movies with the new.

OK. Some problems.
TG for sure does not allow pauses or frame skipping.
And they only accept scores from MAME 0.1.06. That is about 5 years out of date. We are not going to go that far back just for them.
And they do not accept scores from any console emulators.
They are outdated and refusing to keep up with the times.
I sent them another email asking if they want to update to our system, but we are not going to downgrade to theirs.
So that means pause and frameskip are back on the table.
I think no pause sounds more "official" but disabling it might piss off too many people.
Frameskip and fast forward might cause the desync problems. That needs to be tested more to know for sure.
Without the TG support as an option it might not be worth upgrading at this time. Anyone see any features listed above, particularly in the whats new files?
