Evercade firmware 2.0 live on the handheld

Other benefits include in-game display options with interlacing modes, and original, pixel perfect or fullscreen zoom mode to make it easier to enjoy your retro gaming however you fancy. There's also a range of bezel displays and other tweaks in there!

All good stuff and a quick update away. Note there's a hotfix 2.0.1 patch to fix a few small issues.
