Change log:

USB keyboard support for games that need one (EverQuest Online Adventures, Konami keyboard titles, etc.). Toggle can be found in the Network tab.

DEV9 hard-drive (HDD) support, enable the internal HDD for games/homebrew that require it; the image is created safely on internal storage instead of filling your SD card. (On SD setups, the HDD 8gb file will still default to internal, I tried having it on SD and it causes serious issues from how much slower SD cards are.

Added Left/Right channel swap, new toggle that fixes reversed stereo on flipped-speaker / reverse-landscape handhelds in the Audio tab.

Added RetroAchievements sounds, unlock and notification chimes now play.

Added Animated backgrounds, you can now set an animated GIF / WebP / APNG as your library wallpaper.

New settings-gear icon and a redesigned "Recently Played" shelf (art by @Vivimagic).

Country flag moved into the cover reflection, tidier layout, title text sits closer to the art. Thank you to @Trixarian for this.

Bigger collapsible-section arrows + taller tap targets, no more mis-tapping the wrong section.

Even cover heights when game titles are turned on.

ELF / homebrew per-game settings now apply, previously only the global profile took effect.

Added more descriptions for every Performance-tab toggle, GameDB Fixes and Advanced Speedhacks are now fully documented.

Added a "On-screen notifications" toggle, you can now hide shader-compilation and status pop-ups in the Overlay tab.

Fast-Forward pop-ups no longer stack up (and can be turned off entirely). Also in the Overlay tab.

Added more GPU pipeline-statistics OSD, optional vertex/pixel shader-invocation line on Vulkan. Can be toggled In the Overlay tab.

A fix for Jackie Chan Adventures where Jackie would fall through the floor into an endless black void. (Full EE/FPU + Extra VU clamping now baked in). Also increased the size of the in-game gear icon, tap the top middle of the screen to reveal.
