New version 2.2.0.0 and new year's price reduction

Belated happy holidays to everyone - and an incoming happy new year!

We just (finally) updated the main version to 2.2.0.0. It tends to take a while for it to be visible, so you may have to wait a few hours.

Also, we've reduced the price. This isn't a sale, it's a permanent reduction; we planned it for a while now, we just wanted it to coincide with the new release. These are the new prices:

USD: $5.99
EUR: €4.49
GBP: £3.75
CAD: $6.49
AUD: $6.75

All other currencies are values automatically converted by Google based on $5.99 USD and current exchange rates.

That makes sense, hopefully that should be enough to encourage some people into purchasing it who otherwise wouldnt have.
Also on a side note holy crap thats alot of changes since the last beta update...at least the microstutters in pokemon games seems to have been sorted

2.1.6.2 and 2.2.0.0 has about 16 beta builds in between them starting when 2.1.6.2a and a sort of beta only 2.1.7a. the devs really wanted to give something major after 2.1.6 and they delivered.

as a sidenote, well that guy who wants drastic @ 5usd might beg to differ ;)

also, beansta, why doncha join us on irc?

I bought it at $7.99 too, but no complaints. Since then I've put in over 10 hours in Radiant Historia, and will likely play many other games too. I still have my DS, but the top screen was freaking out; this was way better than buying a new DS Lite.

I can't see the point in worrying about $2.00 when I'm absolutely getting my money's worth. I love this emulator, and the help from Jay Haru and the devs here is amazing, whenever there's a problem they seem to be on top of it.
