Oh, I like the new multi monitor idea. I will give that a true later and see how well it works. :)

And also the PAL filter. I'm hoping it gives the games a nice retro look, similar to the MAME filters.

I'm not sure about the need for the 4 way A1200 IDE splitter emulation though. Does that really have a use?
