TODOs and pointed out areas where improvements are likely needed,
in preparation for asking for help in the implementation.
Turned off 'resolvedata' in the debugger when disassembly ZP RAM.
It seems to be buggy in certain cases, and it's easier to just
leave it off in that mode, since (a) not many games run from ZP,
and (b) it's only at most 128 instructions.

'BASEDIR'/nvram. Previously it defaulted to BASEDIR, which was getting
filled with many such files.
Unfortunely, all files will have to moved manually, but it's an easy
one-time operation.

That is, it has all the functionality of past versions, as well
as improvements to launching from the commandline (an archive
containing multiple ROMs will now open the virtual directory
in the ROM launcher.

Removed various 'Image' and 'Greeting Card' ROM info from the database;
the info was incomplete, and there's no way that I'm going over 7000+
ROMS to add them all. Eventually, I'd like the database to be for valid
ROMs only.

the sound is now much more accurate in "Space Rocks", and there aren't
any regressions that I'm aware of.
Removed 'clipvol' setting, since the sound is now 16-bit and clipping
is no longer required.

a new line as part of the message.
Updates for impending 3.7.5 release.

Quadrun sounds better now :)
Preparing for the 3.7.3 release.

In this case, the frame runs to the limits of the virtual 'TV' (342 scanlines).

Updated PNG library to latest release.
I hope to get back to Stella development soon, and do a new release
in perhaps the next month or so.

of the RIOT chip. This flag is related to the edge-detect circuitry, and
set on active transition of PA7 pin, cleared upon reading from TIMINT (but
only *after* its result is included in the TIMINT read).

the latter you'll probably require the patience of Job.

(more work required for Windows), and updated zlib to latest
version.

display modes wrt both palette and display properties (# of scanlines,
size of window, etc). This means you can now dynamically switch
between these modes at runtime.
Also added 'Shift-Control-f', which cycles through the modes in
reverse order.

that picky (OCD would probably be a better description).
Bumped version #.

decision is final. It's time to move on, folks.

Distella '-r' option (Relocate calls out of address range) to
the disassembler core. Also added UI item to dynamically
change the setting.
Renamed 'resolvedata', 'showaddr' and 'gfxformat' commandline
arguments to start with 'dis', indicating that they're part
of the disassembler.

RAM to do so, which I agonized over for about a week, but I feel it's
a fairly good tradeoff for the features we get. Eventually, I may come
up with a more accurate phosphor mode which eliminates this approach
entirely.
Reverted OpenGL framebuffer to 32-bit colour mode. We're using Blargg
effects, so we may as well get the full fidelity out of it. Besides,
testing has shown that there's not much speed difference between 16
and 32 bit modes, making me think that 16-bit is probably be swizzled
to 32-bit anyway.
Bumped release date to June 1, version to rc1.

for phosphor effects. It's just not ready to go yet, more research is
needed, and I just don't have the time to fix it. Besides, it's been
two months since the last release, and I need a vacation.
Because of this, the release date is changed to May 25.

instead of the entire area. This fixes the speed regression from 3.6,
since the main TIA texture is now larger than before. Previously it
was 160 pixels wide out of 256 total (rounded to power of two), now
it's 560 wide out of 1024 total. In 3.6 it was updating a buffer 256
pixels wide, in the latest beta releases it was sending 4 times as
much data (256 -> 1024). Now it sends only 160/560. Similar
improvements happened with the height as well (210 lines vs 256).
On my test systems at least, this is an extremely large win,
resulting in similar speeds as 3.6 even though we've moved to a 32-bit
framebuffer.
Bumped version # for next beta release.
Pushed release date to June 1, to make absolutely sure I have
everything fixed and ready to go.

now load and play test ROMs, complete with emulation of timing delays
due to slow accesses on real Harmony hardware. Still TODO is the tunes,
DPC+ stuff, which is stubbed out at this point.
Fixed bug in EFSC bankswitching; state files didn't contain extended RAM
information.
Cleaned up the Serializer API, resulting in slightly faster operation
and smaller state files. Because of this, the state file format
has changed for this release (old state files will no longer work).
