Thanks to Ben Baker with this release there is now support for switching subtitle and audio streams when using FFDSHOW. It should work automatically where appropriate, and is operated with the paging keys/combos. Page Up and Down for switching subtitles and Alpha Paging for changing audio streams. Ie button 1 and left and right. Also in this release is iTunes support. The iTunes library and playlists can now be used in GameEx if your using iTunes by setting the Jukebox mode to 'iTunes Library' as opposed to windows media player or file tags. Protected files are not supported, and it does take a little while to load up.

Ok, here comes a new beta. Since last one, work has been done mainly on the branches.
Now with this beta you can choose to use microvu by selecting the 2 additional options under the cpu panel. This is a beta! Expect breakage. And it IS slower, for now at least.

If you have microvu bugs to report, use this thread
http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-7484.html

Pcsx2 beta 1329 Changelog:
- Microvu added as an additional cpu option. To use it, enable both the new options in the cpu tab. Expect problems.
- Quite some work on vif, gif and path 3. Quite a few of the games that had problems with 1190 due to this should now work.
- Increased the EErec's stack memory from 64k to 128k, since there's no reason to be frugal there anymore
- Improved the CPU speed/ghz detection. It should be a bit more accurate, and is faster (pcsx2 startup times are near instantaneous now)
- Some emitter changes
- Some general cleanups to vtlb's memory protection and recompiled block
integrity checking systems.
- Usual code cleanups and optimizations

Known issues:
Front mission 4 hangs
Ar tonelico 1 hangs
Many Gust games show black screen (ar tonelico 2, atelier iris 3...). To solve, press F1 when that happens (yeah, random... but hey it kinda works)

- Support for registering MIME types with the Linux desktop.
- FBO mode is now the default for Direct3D.
- Support for COM proxy delegation.
- Improved support for the Mingw cross-compile.
- Proper fullscreen mode for the virtual desktop.
- Various bug fixes.
