What's new in 1.18.1

PPSSPP 1.18 is now ready! The most important changes are listed below.

For a more high-level summary of the changes, see the progress report and release announcement!

NOTE! As usual, the Android version on Google Play will as usual roll out slowly over multiple days in order to catch any bad crashes early, so you may have to wait a few days before you receive the update.

Additionally, the iOS version may take even longer due to the unpredictability of App Store review.
