– SMPTE color bars
– Improved the lag test with FFT and dreamcast microphone
– Help for every test and pattern.
– Added Wii/GC contextual menu for Video, Help and options (start button)
– Changed button scheme to match the WIi/GC versions
– Changed video mode names, they are now easier to understand
– Now uses true Framebuffer screenshots for backgrounds when help is displayed (probably nobody cares, but it is fancy)

I’ve been playing around with the Fast Fourier Transform test and it is indeed very accurate if the audio follows teh same chain as the video. Tested the xrgb framemeister+TV and direct HT hookup.

It is currently available for download from Sourceforge.
