I think @PacManPlus can give you more details, but the collision detection received some tweaks. 

That is correct; I've relaxed the collision detection somewhat.

Between Atari, Atari Age, and now Opcode, I now have 22 games on-order...

While we wait for Darryl to detail them, the biggest one I think is the bug where punching bottles doesn’t always properly increment the score. That bug is present on my v1.3 cartridge but was fixed in v1.4. Presumably the OpCode carts will be using the latest roms. 

 

(I still would love to buy a ROM version for my 7800GD if that ever becomes a possibility 👀).
