PCE Emu: PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 Emulator v1.4.0 – PS3

PCE Emu, now here is an emulator we haven’t heard anything about in a good while.  Well, it is now at V1.40. Here’s some info of what this emulator is about for those who may have forgot or those who haven’t heard of this great emulator yet.
PCE.emu is a PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 emulator written in C++ for Android, iOS, WebOS and PS3. It uses the emulation backend from Mednafen and is built on top of the Imagine engine. The source is released under the GPLv3 license.
Main Features:
Accurate emulation and high compatibility rate (Note: Data swapped TG16 roms are not supported, see known issues below for a fix if you’re getting a black screen on load)
Backup memory and save state support, auto-save and ten manual slots for save states
Supports ROM-based games in .pce and .sgx formats, optionally in .zip files
CD emulation via loading CUE or TOC+BIN files (select a system card rom in the options, for versions <= 1.3.0: place syscard.pce in same directory as CUE file)
About Save Games:
A standard .sav file is created for games using internal battery backup memory
Save states are named .ncq for the auto-save slot, and .ncX where X is the slot number for manual saves.
Performance Notes (as of version 1.3.0):
PS3: 60fps with hucards & CDs.
PS3 Controls
D-pad : navigate menus (Up & Down), Left to go up a directory in file picker, Right to select *highlighted entry

Circle : cancel menu entry/go back, Button II

Currently known issues/bugs:

Not really a bug, but when running on a case-sensitive file system make sure your CUE file *specifies references in the same case as on the file system.
PS3: sound is not synced properly, causes slight distortion in the audio
PCE Emu Version 1.4.0 Changelog:
Note: The config file format has changed and all options should reset automatically, in case of issues delete the config file manually
Recent Games list added to the main menu, stores the last 10 games played.
On-screen fast forward hot-spot now acts as an on/off toggle
MD: Master System support
