This version of Nestopia is actually 1.33 followed by 1.33b to address some controller issues. Here is what is new:
Shell Additions:

* Fast way to supply a missing FDS BIOS file on disk image loading.
* 'Default' button in FDS dialog.
* More FDS info in log file and image info dialog.

Shell Changes:

* Reduced input latency and improved overall frame flow by rearranging wait loops and making use of Direct3D9 query events (or dummy texture locks if unsupported) to force CPU/GPU sync on each frame.
