B5: LOL, seems I forgot to remove the frontend code that blocks you from adding FM Towns versions of the games. (Works fine if you add them from the command line, as I usually do.) Quick update to 1.0b5 to remove that.
B4: Ok, FM Towns support is ready enough to play with. Still a couple of rough edges and uncertainties, but we’ll call it 1.0b4. If you have or know someone with a real FM Towns, please help connect me. Particularly unsure of the anemic music in MI2/Indy4.

New Emulation Features since 2.1.x
==================================
* Game deltas and configuration are now stored separately for each game version
- This means that multiple versions won't interfere with each other
- However, it means you will need to manually share save states or other info
* Rewrote video output path to use OpenGL with custom shaders
- Use Alt-S/Cmd-S to toggle between basic scaling, epx smoothing, and CRT simulation
- Basic scaling now uses a custom shader for higher quality results
- epx smoothing is also now done on your GPU via a custom shader
- CRT simulation is a new shader that models scanlines and shadow masks (works best at 1440p+)
- If OpenGL support not available, falls back to old SDL way (but no CRT simulation)
* Rewrote video BIOS implementation to match the particulars of each supported card
* Implemented more VGA features and added some more modes, up to 1280x1024
* Added accurate refresh timings for all video hardware
* Added "fixed mode" execution that provides more consistent behavior
- Most early games (pre-Full Throttle) now run in fixed mode all the time
- Later DOS games use fixed mode at startup (for timing loops), then switch to dynamic mode
- Windows games continue to use previous dynamic mode
* Added keyboard scripting support so game installers are now automated
* Implemented many previously missing DOS and BIOS functions
- This means you're less likely to hit an "unimplemented INT" error
- Yes, you can now test your system in the Rebel Assault II launcher 😉
* Added reduimentary DOS batch file support
New Frontend Features since 2.1.x
=================================
* Version is displayed in upper-right as link you can click to get the about box
* Text now auto-resizes in cases where it doesn't fit
* Some small animations have been added to liven things up
* Higher resolution images and fonts now supported for 1440p+ displays
* Main game select screen:
- If you have lots of games you can now rotate through them via keyboard or mouse
- Typing an alphabetic character jumps to the first game starting with that letter
- Star Wars games are now sorted ignoring the "Star Wars:" prefix
- The Add New Games button returns to the main screen
* Configure and launch screen:
- Scroll wheel now works to rotate between variants
- The current game configuration options are shown, with a link to click to modify them
- Interdependent options now work (e.g., resolution in Outlaws depends on graphics driver)
- Configuration of MT32/GMIDI outputs now shown as a separate item
* DREAMM options:
- New option to install sound fonts or MT-32 ROMs, plus show what's installed or view folder
- Telemetry setting moved here from about box
