v0.1.10 - In-game menu and persistent controls

• Open the in-game menu with Escape or the controller Guide button (when available through your driver).
• Select save-state slots 1-9, save/load, adjust fast-forward from 2x to 10x, and enable or disable rewind independently.
• Remember the selected slot, speed multiplier, and Assist Tools/rewind switches in runtime-controls.toml. Active fast-forward and rewind history are not restored on restart.
• Remember launcher dimensions in launcher-window.ini; use a 940x799 default that fits smaller displays. Existing saved dimensions take precedence.
• Improve launcher focus handling and prevent runtime-menu descriptions from overlapping controls.
• Expand the README with current features, shortcuts, configuration locations, and update instructions. The game and launcher remain in English.

Existing BIOS selection, controller preferences, internal saves, rewind, and optimized builds are retained. Internal game saves remain independent of Assist Tools.

Installation and Updates

Download and extract SacredStonesRecomp-0.1.10-win64.zip, then run SacredStonesRecomp.exe at the archive root. Provide your own USA game ROM and GBA BIOS. Neither is included.

Back up and preserve your saves folder and personal configuration files when updating. Save states remain beside the selected ROM as .state1 through .state9; back these up separately. See the included README for details.

The Windows archive contains compiled binaries, launcher assets, configuration, and documentation, not game source or game data. GitHub's automatically generated source archives are not the playable download.

The maintainer validated the launcher and runtime-menu changes in gameplay. A fresh build with dependencies fetched from GitHub passed all thirteen runtime scenarios, three project test programs, and both targeted launcher/runtime-menu tests. Full-game coverage remains incomplete.
