Here's what to try:
- Skinless mode - The new default mode is skinless. Some users found the skin to be too large, especially for smaller resolutions. You can toggle the skin on and off.
- Options panel - The option panel has a new sheet for configuring the screen settings. This is useful for programmers with custom grayscale routines that don't appear correctly on the default settings. These settings carry over to GIF, so your captures will be cleaner.
- GIF quality - By default, GIFs are recorded in 2x high quality mode. This will generate large files, but are much better and easier to see on webpages. You can change these options.
- GIF Feedback - GIF recording gives visual feedback. The screen will glow and pulsate while the file is being written.
- Variable tree - You can access a variable tree that will show you what files are on the calculator. In addition, you can drag these files from the tree to your harddrive.
- Instant screenshot - Drag the screen to generate a bitmap instantly. A transparent bitmap will show you exactly what you are capturing.
- Savestate Preview - The open dialog now shows previews of savestates you select. Here's an example: http://group.revsoft.org/savepreview.png
- Cutout mode - When the skin is in cutout mode, small minimize and close buttons appear in the top right corner. In addition the skin will fade when the emulator is not the foreground window.
- Button feedback - When you press buttons on the skin, the buttons will appear to depress. This even happens when you press keyboard keys corresponding to those buttons.
- Registry - Settings are stored in the registry, so no config file will be generated.
- Debugger - There have been improvements, but it's not stable enough yet to release
- Transfers to TI-82 - New virtual linking code doesn't support non-silent linking that's required for the TI-82.
- Multiple skins - I'm working on more skins, but only the default TI-83+ skin is included in this version.
