Release Highlights

ROM reading and writing stability improvements

The general theme of this update was to reduce CPU, memory, and disk contention when writing files - especially large files and zip archives with many files:

• ROMs are now written with a temporary filename first and then renamed after, primarily so files being overwritten always stay valid
• Better queueing when zipping many files, reducing open file handles, and reducing filesystem & CPU thrash
• Generally fewer temporary files when extracting archives and when copying & moving raw files
• Limit how much filesize is being written at once, reducing filesystem contention for large files (CD, DVD, etc.) especially
• Reduced the memory required when moving files between disk drives
