v030 wip3 posted.

This one add's krom's ruby changes, meaning Windows OpenGL support.

For consistency, I changed the Windows system.video setting to "wgl",
and Linux OpenGL to "glx". Linux users should be sure to update that
to avoid SDL video output.

I get ~119fps with OpenGL, and ~120fps with Direct3D. I'd appreciate
if everyone else would test OpenGL support. If it works everywhere
that D3D works, and avoids that texture size slowdown issue, then we
should make it the default driver.

The only issue I see with the driver now is that vsync is enabled no
matter what. You can turn it off in eg the nVidia control panel by
overriding the setting. I also recommend enabling triple buffering.
With that, video is perfectly smooth and audio is ~99.5% perfect. So,
so close. A slight cpu.freq change and you can probably get it
perfect.

God, it's so nice having perfect video and audio. I really wish that
worked across the board. It's absolute euphoria playing games like
that.

Author: byuu

--------
General:
--------
bsnes is a Super Nintendo / Super Famicom emulator that began on
October 14th, 2004.

The latest version can be downloaded from:
http://byuu.org/

Please see license.txt for important licensing information.

------------------
Known Limitations:
------------------
S-CPU
- Multiply / Divide register delays not implemented

S-PPU
- Uses scanline-based renderer. This is very inaccurate, but few (if any)
  games rely on mid-scanline writes to function correctly
- Does not support FirstSprite+Y priority
- OAM / CGRAM accesses during active display not supported correctly
- RTO flags are not calculated on frames that are skipped when frameskipping
  is enabled. This provides a major speedup, however it will cause in issues
  in games that test these flags, eg the SNES Test Program Electronics Test.
  Turning frameskipping off will allow RTO flag calculation on every frame

Hardware Bugs
- S-CPU.r1 HDMA crashing bug not emulated
- S-CPU<>S-SMP communication bus conflicts not emulated
