First Dev build that took a bit longer due to a regression in the GameDB that took me 4 hours to track down.
This is a test build to help squish any bugs before we do a proper 1.9 release
Please test your games against it and let me know about any bugs that may come up

Changelog:

NetherSX2 Changes

  • Bump version up to 1.9
  • Using cmd instead of bat for the script's extension to fit modern standards
  • Including msvcp120.dll in lib folder to stop terminal colours breaking the scripts
  • All scripts should now properly rename the APK to the correct NetherSX2 version number
  • Stopped adding extended settings to the NetherSX2 1.0 apk builds to avoid breaking NetherSX2 1.7+
  • Cover Downloader now comes with a default URL List already entered to make grabbing the Covers much easier
  • Updated the Widescreen and No-Interlacing patches to be more in line with PCSX2's ones - Thanks Saramagrean!
  • The FPS Control setting is now intergated into the emulator - Thanks again Saramagrean!

GameDB Changes

Way too many to list, and probably not the final version we'll use with a full release
Please test with your game collection and report any new problems that crop up

Controller DB Changes

Attempting to use our own Controller DB taken directly from the SDL_GameControllerDB Github
Hopefully it provides us with better support than the base file PCSX2 creates for it's needs

This release contains the following files:

NetherSX2-builder.zip - You can use this to generate your own copy NetherSX2 on Windows with the patches already applied. It works by downloading a copy of AetherSX2 4248 and applying an xdelta patch to it. This can be used with the scripts below to update it's contents

NetherSX2-patch.zip - This contains the files in the repository and can be used to patch (and update) an existing copy of NetherSX2

nethersx2.xdelta - The xdelta file used in NetherSX2-builder above. This can be used with UniPatcher (on Android), YADP or Delta Patcher to apply the patch changes to a copy of AetherSX2 4248 on systems others than Windows

Note: No APK is provided in any of these files. Due to licensing issues, you need to build NetherSX2 for yourself using the various methods provided

Rewrote script to give it the ability to patch a user provided AetherSX2 4248 apk into NetherSX2

Added in a New UI theme, although I'd prefer we make our own. Any artists out there willing to help?
