Minimig:

Main:
- minimig: support for shared folder.
- OSD: fix items bellow the DIP if it's absent.
- OSD: prevent trigger of back button after unmounting key combo.
- atari st: enable recent menu for floppy/hdd/cart.
- megacd: support subfolders with cd_bios.rom per folder. Useful for automatic region setting per sub-folder.
