byuu d1fcddee9c Update to bsnes v024r01? release.
New WIP up.

 This one merges the most recent DSP-3 / DSP-4 work. Not sure if it
fixes any bugs or not, but good to be up to date, right? Testing would
be appreciated.

             I also cleaned up the cart stuff a bit. Nicer enums,
removed some unused variables and such.

 Then I turned all of the special chip class object pointers into
actual objects. It was kind of stupid to dynamically create them all,
and was just wasting performance.

 I also finished adding all of the SuperFX registers, and mapped them
all to the GSU interface range ($3000-$32ff). Fixed an oversight with
the mapping, and added a new PCB database entry to get the memory map
for Yoshi's Island perfect. If you want to hear something nice, try
loading the USA version in this WIP with sound + speed regulation
enabled.

 Then I added a 'Show FPS' option to the misc menu. I also didn't
realize I was still embedding the SNES controller bitmap even though
it wasn't displayed anywhere, so for now that's been removed. Makes
the EXE and archive a bit smaller.

 Lastly, I redid the bsnes section of my site to look a little more
polished. Getting ready for 10/14. I've always hated the way SNES
emulator authors always cherry picked most of their screenshots to
show off their special chip support (jealousy because I didn't have
any for a long time), so I decided I'd do the exact same thing myself
this time :P
 Ripped off Overload yet again, this time I stole his screenshot
layout style. Sorry, Overload ... but imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, right? :)

 Also, note that all of the ?page=bsnes_* URIs have changed to
?page=bsnes/* ... so if you get redirected to the main page from a
bookmark or something, that's why.

             Whew, busy day today ...

--------------
Shortcut Keys:
--------------
Esc - Toggle menubar visibility
F11 - Toggle fullscreen

------------------
Known Limitations:
------------------
S-CPU
- Invalid DMA / HDMA transfers not fully emulated
- 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
