Crosshair update
* Added Crosshair Options menu - ability to individually enable/disable crosshairs - ability for them to automatically disappear after a set amount of time - ability to select crosshair graphic - all settings are saved in the cfg file * Removed F1 toggle for crosshairs * Added new command option -crsshairpath - store all selectable graphics here - see config.txt for further info OSD NOTE: render_load_png() has been changed to no longer force usage of the artwork directory. Do a search for "render_load_png(" and replace with "render_load_png(OPTION_ARTPATH, " if needed. ---------------------------- F1 is now free to use for something new. I was thinking it would be perfect for a context sensitive help file. Each menu item could have a help tag, that it would look up and display info from an HTML file.
