Changelog:
- WS: fixed lods, scas instructions
- WS: implemented missing GRP4 instructions
- WS: fixed transparency for screen one
- WSC: added color-mode PPU rendering
- WS+WSC: added packed pixel mode support
- WS+WSC: added dummy sound register reads/writes
- SFC: added threading to SuperDisc (it's hanging for right now; need to
clear IRQ on $21e2 writes)
SuperDisc Timer and Sound Check were failing before due to not turning
off IRQs on $21e4 clear, so I'm happy that's fixed now.
Riviera starts now, and displays the first intro screen before crashing.
Huge, huge amounts of corrupted graphics, though. This game's really
making me work for it :(
No color games seem fully playable yet, but a lot of monochrome and
color games are now at least showing more intro screen graphics before
dying.
This build defaults to horizontal orientation, but I left the inputs
bound to vertical orientation. Whoops. I still need to implement
a screen flip key binding.

Changelog:
- WS: fixed a major CPU bug where I was using the wrong bits for
ModR/M's memory mode
- WS: added grayscale PPU emulation (exceptionally buggy)
GunPey now runs, as long as you add:
eeprom name=save.ram size=0x800
to the manifest after importing with icarus.
Right now, you can't control the game due to missing keypad polling.
There's also a lot of glitchiness with the sprites. Seems like they're
not getting properly cleared sometimes or something.
Also, the PPU emulation is totally unrealistic bullshit. I decode and
evaluate every single tile and sprite on every single pixel of output.
No way in hell the hardware could ever come close to that. The speed's
around 500fps without the insane sprite evaluations, and around 90fps
with it. Obviously, I'll fix this in time.
Nothing else seems to run that I've tried. Not even far enough to
display any output whatsoever. Tried Langrisser Millenium, Rockman
& Forte and Riviera. I really need to update icarus to try and encode
eeprom/sram sizes, because that's going to break a lot of stuff if it's
missing.

Changelog:
- sfc/ppu/sprite updated to use new .bit(s) functions; masked sizes
better; added valid flags instead of using magic numbers
- ws/ppu updates to use new .bit(s) functions
- ws/ppu: added line compare interrupt support
- added ws/eeprom; emulation of WS/WSC internal EEPROM and cartridge
EEPROM (1kbit - 16kbit supported)
- added basic read/write handlers for remaining WS/WSC PPU registers
WS EEPROM emulation is basically a direct copy of trap15's code. Still
some unknown areas in there, but hopefully it's enough to get further
into games that depend on EEPROM support. Note that you'll have to
manually add the eeprom line to the manifest for now, as icarus doesn't
know how to detect EEPROM/sizes yet.
I figured the changes to the SNES PPU sprites would slow it down a tad,
but it actually sped it up. Most of the impact from the integer classes
are gone now.

All 256 instructions implemented fully. Fixed a major bug with
instructions that both read and write to ModRM with displacement.
Riviera now runs into an infinite loop ... possibly crashed, possibly
waiting on interrupts or in to return something. Added a bunch of PPU
settings registers, but nothing's actually rendering with them yet.
