YDrive v1.1.0 - Open-source C# / Libretro SEGA emulator (Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Master System)

Hey everyone!
I've been building YDrive, a clean, open-source multi-system SEGA frontend/emulator developed in C# (.NET / WPF) and powered by Libretro cores (Genesis Plus GX & PicoDrive).
Version v1.1.0 is now live with major additions:
🎮 Multi-System Compatibility: Full support for SEGA Genesis, SEGA CD, SEGA 32X, and Master System.
💾 BRAM & Save State Fixes: Fixed Sega CD BRAM initialization/allocation quirks and added cross-game save state load protection.
📸 In-Game Screenshot: Clean single-click screenshot capturing.
🖼️** TheGamesDB Scraper**: Platform-filtered automatic box art and metadata downloading (no more Genesis covers on Master System games!).
⚙️** Simplified Settings**: Intuitive BIOS management with instant delete/status tracking.

️Note: There might be some missing features or technical bugs; they will be fixed in upcoming updates.

Feel free to test it out, report any edge-case bugs, and leave feedback!
