Tim Allen f23e54f6b1 Refer to directories as "folders" in Windows. 
Sure, probably everybody is familiar with either term,
but Windows users are probably more familiar with the term
that shows up all over their UI.

Tim Allen 54e48aabbe Describe how to contribute to higan. 
Since higan does not follow the conventional git development model,
we should prominently document how people can contribute.

Tim Allen ba384a7c48 Update to v104 release. 
byuu says:

Changelog:

  - emulator/interface: removed unused Region struct
  - gba/cpu: optimized CPU::step() as much as I could for a slight
    speedup¹
  - gba/cpu: synchronize the APU better during FIFO updates
  - higan/md, icarus: add automatic region detection; make it the
    default option [hex\_usr]
      - picks NTSC-J if there's more than one match ... eventually, this
        will be a setting
  - higan/md, icarus: support all three combinations of SRAM (8-bit low,
    8-bit high, 16-bit)
  - processor/arm7tdmi: fix bug when changing to THUMB mode via MSR
    [MerryMage]
  - tomoko: redesigned crash detector to only occur once for all three
    ruby drivers
      - this will reduce disk thrashing since the configuration file
        only needs to be written out one extra time
      - technically, it's twice ... but we should've always been writing
        one out on first run in case it crashes then
  - tomoko: defaulted back to the safest ruby drivers, given the optimal
    drivers have some stability concerns

¹: minor errata: spotted a typo saying `synchronize(cpu)` when the CPU
is stopped, instead of `synchronize(ppu)`. This will be fixed in the v104
official 7zip archives.

I'm kind of rushing here but, it's really good timing for me to push out
a new official release. The blocking issues are resolved or close to it,
and we need lots of testing of the new major changes.

I'm going to consider this a semi-stable testing release and leave links
to v103 just in case.

Tim Allen 55f19c3e0d Update to v103r32 release. 
byuu says:

Changelog:

  - Master System: merged Bus into CPU
  - Mega Drive: merged BusCPU into CPU; BusAPU into AU
  - Mega Drive: added TMSS emulation; disabled by default [hex\_usr]
      - VDP lockout not yet emulated
  - processor/arm7tdmi: renamed interrupt() to exception()
  - processor/arm7tdmi: CPSR.F (FIQ disable) flag is set on reset
  - processor/arm7tdmi: pipeline decode stage caches CPSR.T (THUMB mode)
    [MerryMage]
      - fixes `msr_tests.gba` test F
  - processor/arm7tdmi/disassembler: add PC address to left of currently
    executing instruction
  - processor/arm7tdmi: stop forcing CPSR.M (mode flags) bit 4 high (I
    don't know what really happens here)
  - processor/arm7tdmi: undefined instructions now generate Undefined
    0x4 exception
  - processor/arm7tdmi: thumbInstructionAddRegister masks PC by &~3
    instead of &~2
      - hopefully this is correct; &~2 felt very wrong
  - processor/arm7tdmi: thumbInstructionStackMultiple can use sequential
    timing for PC/LR PUSH/POP [Cydrak]
  - systems/Mega Drive.sys: added tmss.rom; enable with cpu version=1
  - tomoko: detect when a ruby video/audio/input driver crashes higan;
    disable it on next program startup

v104 blockers:

  - Mega Drive: support 8-bit SRAM (even if we don't support 16-bit;
    don't force 8-bit to 16-bit)
  - Mega Drive: add region detection support to icarus
  - ruby: add default audio device information so certain drivers won't
    default to silence out of the box
