- More anti-mod protected games now work (tested on WildArms2)
- Added support for MDEC STP bit (fixes DragonWarrior7 spell effects)
- Fixed quickload menu bug
- Fixed crash loading v1.5 state saves
- Fixed bug where .bin file was named .cue when converting CDZ file
- Fixed bug where CDZs created without .cue file did not work
- ESC can now be configured (either quit, or exit fullscreen)
- CD drivers now retry when an error occurs (up to 16 times)

Great work PSXAuthor!
I've never been able to get the PAL version of Vagrant story working even with the patch, but 1.7 now allows me to play Vagrant story.
Cheers again

lurchbrick, thanks for confirming that my issues with Vagrant Story were real. I was always told that it would work if you patched this game. @psxauthor: Wow, great release. Subcode reading will vastly increase compatibility. Is that the same as subchannel reading? Is there a chance to get FF9 running?

even the readme says: Fixed bug where switching back to windowed sometimes didn't work
I still need to have vsync deactivated for switching back to windowed mode, if else i´ll be traped in fullscreen. Of course i can live without the vsync. Thanks for coding

nice release, didn't expected it so soon....
so far, it seems to be a major step for all PAL players : since most of PAL related problems are copyprotection related.
already tested this new version with Suikoden 2 PAL-Fr..and it works !
great job, and thks

As billoute says, seems to have been quite a quick release! My PAL copy of FF8 now works, although the image had to be patched (just would't work at all before) and my Wild Arms 2 (NTSC - is copy protected and had to be patched before) will now run from an unpatched image - the sub channel reading is _definitely_ showing results.
Edit: whoops! I forgot you said you were achieving this by improved CD emulation rather than by subcode reading for Wild Arms 2, pSX Author! Whichever, it's _certainly_ showing results! ;-)
I like the action selection for the Escape key, too.
Control + Enter to return to windowed mode with a monitor selected still doesn't seem to work quite right - doesn't crash the emulator, but the frame of the window doesn't show, so menus etc aren't immediately accessible. You can get at them with the Alt key, though.

reigan42: Mind making a compatibility report about it? Thanks
