Visual Boy Advance GX v3.0.1

EmuCR: Visual Boy Advance GXVisual Boy Advance GX v3.0.1 is released. Visual Boy Advance GX is a Game Boy(GB)/Game Boy Color(GBC)/Game Boy Advance(GBA) emulator based on VBA-M, ported to the Wii and GameCube. The code is a continuation of Softdev and emu_kidid's efforts, and uses libogc and devkitppc.

Visual Boy Advance GX/Wii Features:
* Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, and Gamecube controller support
* SRAM and State saving
* IPS/UPS/PPF patch support
* Custom controller configurations
* SD, USB, DVD, SMB, Zip, and 7z support
* Compatibility based on VBA-M r927
* MEM2 ROM Storage for fast access
* Auto frame skip for those core heavy games
* Turbo speed, video zooming, widescreen, and unfiltered video options

Visual Boy Advance GX/Wii changelog:
Implemented a brand new Dynamic Recompilation (JIT) core for GBA games on both Wii and GameCube, built entirely from scratch. This is a from-the-ground-up addition, not a port - real GBA titles now run with plenty of headroom to run at full speed, well beyond what the interpreter core could sustain. Enable it from Settings > Emulation
Replaced GameCube's old ROM paging system with a new ARAM/SD hybrid virtual memory pager - ROM data now streams transparently from SD into ARAM and MEM1 on demand instead of needing to fit entirely in memory ahead of time, allowing the JIT to be possible (since it doesn't have to be aware of backing data location)
Rewritten memory management for both Wii/GameCube, freeing up 8MB+ for a JIT Cache, while still allowing 32MB ROMs
Added cheat code support for both GBA and GB/GBC games, using the Libretro .cht file format
GB/GBA audio is cleaner and truer to the original hardware, with one less resampling step - it is now generated natively at 48kHz - instead of upsampled from 44100Hz (GBA) and 22050Hz (GB)
Audio samples are now written directly into the output buffer with no intermediate mixing buffer in between, reducing audio latency
Smart dynamic audio rate control keeps playback speed correctly matched to real GBA hardware timing, with a stronger correction kicking in only when actually needed to avoid a dropout - this means fewer, less noticeable pitch adjustments during normal play
Buffer underruns (audio momentarily running dry) now fade smoothly to silence and back instead of producing a hard click, and startup/resume is primed to avoid an initial stutter
Reworked frameskip and frame pacing so video timing is smoother and more consistent, especially when the JIT core is running well above 60fps, and skipped frames are spaced more evenly instead of clumping
Added FPS display option
