byuu c9ca01fe20 Update to bsnes v023 release.
I've recently fixed a bug in bsnes that I feel is serious enough to warrant a new release, even though little else has changed.
I attempted to build this release with MinGW, but ran into problems with profiling and JMA support, so this release was built with Visual C++ once again.
Changelog:
    - Fixed serious bug in S-SMP incw and decw instructions -- fixes sound bug in Emerald Dragon
    - Added Nach's MinGW fixes -- can now be compiled with MinGW/GCC3 or MinGW/GCC4
    - Fixed const char* cast warnings in GCC 4.2, thanks to [vEX] for the feedback
    - Updated source to use latest libraries for libco, libui, etc.
    - Added new advanced options to adjust aspect ratio correction
    - Cleaned up source code a bit

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
