I'm fine with no game art for now...

First of all, emulator core selection, if there was a way to check "always use this emulator" for each game it would be so nice.

These two points are actually related. Both require a game database. I've written two so far, but neither was merged. Now, we're waiting on a new implementation that is partially done. Once this is merged, many things become possible.

Secondly, the setting for Skip Steps really needs to be separated from regular videos, for videos I want my smallest skip steps in the 5-10 second range, with video games you often really want to only skip back half a second or a second. As a bonus dream feature, I would love for hitting the skip forward button to cause the emulator to go into 2x and then 4x etc. speed!

I'll add this to the known issues list, as it would be nice to have the skip steps separate.

This is truly the nicest and most polished way I've ever seen to play emulated games on an HTPC.

It still has some rough edges, to be sure, but that's because since it was merged four months ago I've spent 100% of my time improving controller input. Now that that's out of the way, I can focus on features and improvements like your skip steps suggestion. Let me know if you think of anything else that can be improved!
