So I tested some of the games I have between the two versions (0.7.6 and 0.8.1) - to show you guys how much of an improvement has happened between the two versions (which were like 2 months apart at least)

Would like to note my PC specs include the following

-6 GB Ram
-HD Radeon 7850 2GB OC
-AMD Athlon  II X4 630 2.8 GHz~

Also note I only tested like the first couple of minutes of the gameplay - not the whole game on the emulator.

Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 Duodecim
0.7.6: 30 FPS, with no graphical issues - Text looks a bit broken at some points but not that big of a issue.
0.8.1: 60 FPS, with minor graphical issues such as in the FFIV lunar moon stage and same text issues but not that big of a issue.

Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions
0.7.6: 60 FPS at start up - after the "Squareenix" logo it drops to 18 FPS and is frozen in black screen.
0.8.1: 60 FPS throughout - audio crackles (only issues I see) - playing the PS1 ver looks better too cause the sprites are pixelated in the PSP ver.

Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection
0.7.6: 60 FPS - NO TEXT in Chats between characters and Battle Menu missing completely making the game impossible to play lol
0.8.1: Same issue as 0.7.6.
Note - Could be because I have the japanese version of the game since it had the english language option. The USA/EU versions may have the issue fixed - no idea though.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core
0.7.6: 30 FPS - visual/audio lag and crackling during CG cutscenes - 30 FPS normal visual and audio during actual gameplay and in game engine.
0.8.1: 60 FPS - Perfect in both CG Cutscenes and in gameplay/in game engine.

Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories
0.7.6: 30 FPS with black screen but audio still works ironically. Unplayable as you cant see what the hell is going on.
0.8.1: 60 FPS with NO ISSUES - works perfectly.

Jeanne D' Arc
0.7.6: 40 FPS with missing logo start - "Start" and "Continue" missing at the start. No Visual (Black Screen) with audio still working....lol
0.8.1: Same issues but it has 60 FPS instead of 40 ;___;
Note - T__T

Persona 1 Portable
0.7.6: 60 FPS - Intro Song and CG Cutscenes sound like Chipmunks and very laggy. Visual and Audio working perfectly for the most part - although black borders around some of the sprites of the characters.
0.8.1: 60 FPS - Only complaint is the black borders around some of the animations like sweating or around a character when appearing.

Persona 3 Portable
0.7.6: 100% - Perfect - 60 FPS
0.8.1: 100% - Perfect - 60 FPS
Note - Perfect game runs perfectly

Star Ocean First Departure
0.7.6: Doesnt work at ALL
0.8.1: StartUp Logo of SE is glitched out - 60 FPS - game runs good audio and visual wise....however the player sprite AND all NPC sprites are invisible lmao

Star Ocean Second Evolution
0.7.6: Startup says "SQUAREENIX" and after that no go.
0.8.1: StartUp Logo of SE is glitched out - 60 FPS - audio crackles at the intro song and screen - sounds horrible. Gameplay and In Game Engine sounds OK and plays well.

Tales of Eternia
0.7.6: Audio lags at the Intro Movie and with 30 FPS - 60 FPS in game engine and overall gameplay/audio.
0.8.1: Works Perfectly - 60 FPS

Tekken Dark Resurrection
0.7.6: 60 FPS in fights - 40-50 FPS during the intro - audio lags in intro and Intro is a black screen. A couple of graphical glitches (in the form of black spots) in the backgrounds.
0.8.1: Same as 0.7.6 except the intro now plays in 60 FPS and no audio lag but still black screen. All other issues the same.

Thanks for the report!
