- SCANNING: Fix for scanning PSP ISOs (and probably few others)
- SAVES: Fix core config saving
- SAVES: Fix save new config name when core loaded
- SAVESTATES: Increase save state chunk size for all platforms – Even a class 6 or class 10 SD card can handle reads and writes on the order of MB/s, which means a 4KB chunk size is just wasting time in syscalls. This could maybe be fixed with a buffering reader but I don’t feel comfortable tweaking libretro-common’s VFS to handle that. Instead, I thought it would be good to both remove an ifdef and increase the chunk size to 128KB. For cores with small states this will should make state saving virtually instantaneous, and for cores with large states it should be a 32x speedup.

- UWP: Align MESA to alpha-2-resfix – Remove wrong resolution special handling for OPENGL
- UWP: 4K fix: align MESA reading of ClientRect to retroarch procedure, this fixes max resolution being set to 1080p. As reading must be done inside an UI thread and is in fact an async operation which might delay frame generation, the reading itself is doen once and cached, give that changing resolution while the app is running is an unlikely corner-case use
- WINDOWS: Windows mouse ungrab must release the mouse instead of confine it to the current desktop (#16488)
- WINDOWS: Fix numlock/pause key release events

- SHADER: Added rolling scan line simulation based on the shader subframe feature. This is implemented with a scrolling scissor rect rather than in the shader itself as this is more efficient although may not work for every shader pass – we may need an option to exclude certain passes. The implementation simply divides the screen up by the number of sub frames and then moves the scissor rect down over the screen over the number of sub frames
- TVOS: Force asset re-extraction when cache is deleted
- TVOS: Add history and favorites to Top Shelf
- TVOS: Fix crash when history item does not have a label
- UWP: Enable HAVE_ACCESSIBILITY for UWP builds

Total DOS Collection, Date/Time
- Originally there was trrntzip formated zips, this format has served up well for many many years. It uses deflate compression (level 9) and a fixed date time of: 12/24/1996 11:32 PM Rumored to be the date MAME was first released! So I have been working closely with the main guy over at the Total DOS Collection for about the last 6 months (Thanks for all the great collaboration efforts), and am very please to anounch the first big upgrade to the zip format is TDCZip (Think of this as trrntzip with date/time support.), this turned into quite an adventure to get all the TDC zips supported in RomVault. Including discovering that ZIP's original date/time storage can and does store potentially invalid date/times suck as 1990/00/00 00:00:00 = month 0 , day 0, and invalid time can also be stored. Also had to rework my code support for code page 437 (as used in early zip filenames) as it turns out .NET's version of this code page does not correctly support the ASCII values below 32.
- The daily Total DOS collection DATs will now also be included in DatVault updates. DatVault will also contain a RomVault corrected TDC Release 21 DAT (Please don't try using the numbered release DATs from TDC, they are honestly a mess.), and also a daily Diff dat with just the news files in the Daily compared to the Release 21 DAT we be available in DatVault.

ZSTD Compression
- So while re-working the zip format it was also possible to add the next big update to ZIP... zstd compression zip. This timing turned out to be just about perfect as MAME can now support reading zstd compressed zips!
- What is zstd? It is a new compression methods invented by facebook devs, compresses better that deflate, compresses faster than deflate (With multi-threading compression!), and decompresses at crazy fast speeds, so it is win, win, win all the way around.
- Also WinRAR 7.x and 7zUI v24.x also now support zstd compressed zips, so zstd zip is now a very well supported compression system.
- So we now have what I am refering to as Structured archive formats:
*Trrntzip: Original format.
*TDCZip: Total DOS Collect Date/Time supported format.
*RVZSTD: RomVault zstd format
These are now the 3 supported structured ZIP formats in RV, but wait... theres more.. lets not leave out 7Z!
- 7Z got a big upgrade also, now supporting 4 different formats:
*LZMA-Solid: This is the originally supported 7z format
*LZMA-NonSolid: Added Nonsolid as a 7z supported option now
*zstd-Solid: ZSTD has arrived in 7z also
*zstd-NonSolid: Its here and uses the same compression as ZIP, (And can raw copy between NonSolid 7z's and zip!)
- As well as these two main features, there have been many equally imported enhancements such as better file fixing source priority selection, and better handling of zero byte files, now meaning zipmove can be used in more places.
Dark UI mode has been hiding in RV for a while, but has officially been added to the config UI.

TrrntzipUI becomes S.A.M. Structured Archive Maker
- With the arrival of more than just Trrtnzip, TrrntzipUI also needed an overhall, and has officially been renamed to Structred Archive Maker, It can now recompress all of the above structured archive formats. (With the exception of TDC, because you need to DAT to get the Date/time correct.) S.A.M. is now available from the RomVault top menu, and the stand along version will be released here soon.
- And..... just because people do ask for it: The command line versions for windows and Linux got an update with all the new v3.7 features.
- Thanks again for all the support, and help from my great freinds over in RomVault discord This great releases would not be what it is without your help and support.

So here the detailed list of all the updates and bug fixes in V3.7.0!

Slang Shader Pipeline (librashader)
- ares's shader pipelien has been re-created to support shaders written for the same slang shader pipeline as RetroArch.
- This was made possible thanks to librashader: a reimplementation of the RetroArch slang shader pipeline for standalone emulators.
- All shaders from libretro/slang-shaders are included. Please be mindful that librashader itself, and ares' implementaton of it are both rather new; some shaders may have compatibility issues, but the vast majority should function as expected.
