- Linking: Doesnt work quite right yet.
- Audio core: assertation error occurs when disabling sound in GB mode
- I think its best we mute sound instead, since some games rely on audio for timing.
Plus, blargg's GB_Snd_Emu is extremely optimized stuff. (Mudlord)
- blargg's core implementation broke Dwedit's GBC emu.

- blargg's core implementation broke Dwedit's GBC emu.
- Wrong bit depth image is displayed for 2 frames when switching from/to HQ3x/4x ASM
- This is caused by the 16bit hack which does not re-process the emulated image.
It results in the display devices treating the image at pix with the wrong bit depth.
