v0.600 *** ADDED A NEW MEMBER TO THE ZSNES TEAM! ***
       Welcome Pharos to the team, his role is currently a coding assitant.
       So far, he helped us objectize the zsnes source code which greatly
       helped in the compile time, provided assembly help, and helped us
       prepare on linking C code to zsnes (not completely there yet).

       Note : It is strongly recommended to not use the 16-bit new
              graphics engine yet because of bugs and speed concerns.  It
              is enabled only in 320x240x65536 for those who are interested.

       - Added partial 65816 execution in the DMA registers (doesn't seem to
         fix mucht due to some other problem) Thanks to Alucard for this
         info!  This also slowed down emulation a bit.
       - Implemented sprite priority correction into the new graphics engine
       - Implemented mosaic into the new graphics engine
       - Implemented true 512 horizontal resolution into new graphics
         engine (both 16x8 and 16x16 tile modes)
       - Implemented interlaced 448 vertical resolution into new graphics
         engine
       - Implemented offset per tile mode into the new graphics engine
         (Mode 2/Vertical only).  More accurate compared to the old
         graphics engine. (seems to be a bug where the game gets very
         slow sometimes though)
       - Started 16-bit new graphics engine
       - Implemented sprite priority correction in 16bit new gfx engine
       - Implemented palette raster effects in 16bit new gfx engine
       - Fixed a minor bg enable/disable bug in the new gfx engine
       - Multiple SPC700 bug fixes.  More games run now!
       - Implemented SPCPlay sound engine into zsnes :
           - Echo & FIR Filter Support (Slowed down emulation, but
             gives better sound) Thanks to feenix65 for info on FIR Filter!
           - Volume fixes
           - Rewrote ADSR/GAIN engine
           - Added Adjustable Volume through the commandline and zsnes.cfg
           - 16000 and 32000 extra sampling rates
           - Many other bug fixes
       - Fixed a minor HDMA bug
       - Fixed an old style joystick read bug that prevented the joypad
         from functioning in certain games
       - Several optimisations on Echo & FIR Filter
       - Several Sound DSP Fixes
       - Temporarily fixed a V-latch bug in some games that don't update the
         display at every frame
       - Add/Removed some game hacks for compatibility
       - Modified Song Start Search in .spc capture.  Should be much better now.
       - Fixed a sprite window clipping bug where it was used when it's not
         supposed to be.
       - Modified memory allocation technique in zsnes.  This should now
         eliminate some random crash errors.  Thanks to Y0SHi for this
         info!
       - -c now does full screen instead of small screen in 640x480 modes.
         For small screen, use -cc
       - Fixed a back area 1/2 addition bug which caused the background
         to be sometimes darker than usual
       - Fixed a mode 7 transparency bug
       - Added 8-bit stereo sound and 8-bit sound high speed mode support
         (high speed mode support is just the implementation of 8bit 44100khz
          or 22050khz stereo)  Thanks to Crono for a lot of help on this!
       - Fixed up sound blaster deinit code
         Thanks again to Crono!
       - Wrote an entirely new GUI :
           - Mouse driven GUI/Menu Based
           - Full Keyboard Support in all the Quick (Arrow Menu), Load,
             and Cheat menu items
           - Ability to display load names under 8.3 filename format, snes
             header name, and win95 long filenames
           - Support for Save State, Load State, and Select State through
             menu items
           - Quick Load Menu (Arrow menu) which allows you to quickly load
             the last 10 games loaded
           - Ability to Freeze or Clear the Quick Load Menu
           - An Options menu which allows you to configure settings such
             as video mode, sound settings, frame skip, etc.
           - Added the ability to customize the game keys such as
             the save state key, misc toggles, etc.
           - Ability to use those keys as joystick buttons
           - Customizeable background palette displacement
           - Several minor GUI customization features
           - Ability to quickly exit/enter the GUI with the right
             mouse button (Disabled by default)
           - Ability to Enter Game Genie, Pro Action Replay, or Game
             Finger Cheat Codes
           - Ability to browse the cheat codes and Toggle or Remove
             the codes
           - Ability to Save/Load Cheat Codes (saves them as .CHT files
             in the same directory as the .SRM/.ZST files)
           - Ability to Select Input Devices for each joypad
           - Ability to Define Keys/Button configuration for each joypad
           - Joypad can now move in the GUI (disabled by default)
           - Added some future reserve menus (Netplay, Cheat Search Engine)
             But they are NOT implemented in zsnes yet.
       - Fixed a bug when clearing the screen in 640x480x65536
       - Implemented full add, half add, full subtract, and
         half subtract into the new 16bit graphics engine
         Not sure why, but some transparency modes are actually slower
         than the old engine.  Most likely flushing the cache a lot
         somewhere.
       - Implemented background transparencies into new 16bit graphics engine
         (implemented incorrectly at the moment.  Some transparency modes
         also is slower than the old graphics engine, but that will change
         in the future)
       - Implemented fixed color transparencies (very incorrect because of
         lack of windowing)
       - Fixed a minor bug in the fast forward routines
       - Rewrote most of the 65816 speed hack.  It should now be a lot
         more friendly with games (reduced graphic glitches/increased
         compatibility).
       - Fixed a bug in Mode7 with Windowing and Transparency enabled
       - Allowed 16bit HDMA sound blaster values less than 5 to be used.
         Not exactly sure if this works though.
       - Implemented Mouse Disable Command Line (-j)
       - Rewrote Input Device Routines (Keyboard, Joystick, SNES Mouse,
         and Super Scope Handlers)
       - Added GamePad Pro Support (Don't know if it works on a standard
         GrIP system though).  Thanks to Marius Fodor for the code!
       - Added Snes Parallel Port Support for both LPT1 and LPT2.
         Thanks to Karl for the code!
       - Added MultiTap (Multiplayer 5) Support!  (Only up to 4 players at
         the moment though)
       - Joystick Port 209h support
       - Fixed an overflow caching bug in the new gfx engine where a few games
         run very slow
       - Added some C -> ASM converted DSP1 functions.  Some functions
         were unable to convert properly so no DSP1 games are playable until
         the actual C code is in
       - Executable is now compressed using epack
       - Implemented sprite transparency into the 16-bit new graphics engine
       - Implemented mode7 transparency into the 16-bit new graphics engine
       - Higher memory requirements (Sorry, but this is unavoidable as long
         as ZSNES keeps expanding)
       - Implemented Echo Disable in the zsnes.cfg for those who want some
         extra speed in return for lost sound quality
       - A bunch of other fixes that we forgot to list

v0.400 - Fixed a dual windowing bug in mode 7 in 65536 color mode
       - Re-added FPU Copy due to a demand
       - Implemented MMX Copy.  Use -om to enable.  Thanks to Angels Holocaust
         for this info!
       - Fixed a bug when writing to .bmp files
       - Added (buggy) SuperFX support (9.5MB memory required)
         Special thanks to the snes9x team for all the info and help!
       - Fixed up sprite windowing.  Should hopefully be correct now
       - Added a commandline to show all file extensions through the GUI
         Use -sa to enable
       - Added Noise to the Sound DSP
       - Added a Fast Forward key.  Use the Tilde Key (~) located at the
         top-left of your keyboard.
       - Added Sprite Priority Correction
       - Fixed a tile caching bug that caused some tile corruption
       - Fixed a 65816 bug in XCE on the x flag.  Thanks to ]SiMKiN[ for this!
       - Implemented Interleaved format and a simple auto detection.  In case
         autodetect fails, use -i.  Thanks to feenix65 for this info!
       - Improved header detection.  Should now work better with demos
         and games with weird filesizes
       - Added a new graphics engine in 256 color mode.  It should be much
         faster in areas that don't use mode 7, but lacks a lot of features
         such as windowing, mosaic, and sprite priorities so it is disabled
         by default.  It can be enabled by pressing 8 during gameplay.
         (~40-100% faster)
       - Optimised Mode 7 in 256 color mode
       - Implemented dual windowing to color window clipping
       - Fixed several color window clipping bugs

       - Added NewGfx to zsnes.cfg which determines if the new graphics
         engine is enabled at start
       - Added CopyMethod to zsnes.cfg which can default the copy method
         as either fpu copy or mmx copy
       - Allowed systems with 5.5MB of RAM free to load 2mbit roms
       - Fixed sidewinder support when sound is set at a high sampling
         rate.  Thanks to Marius Fodor for the source!

v0.393 - Whoops!  Forgot to remove the debug variables in v0.391
       - Fixed another sprite clipping bug

       - Added Save SPC Data which saves the contents of the SPC700/DSP
         of the beginning of the next song (Future Reserved)
       - Add Sound Buffer Dump which dumps the decompressed sound buffer
         as raw pcm.  This can become quite inaccurate due to the way how
         zsnes stores its decompressed sounds.
       - Added MenuItem Sound Buffer Dump into the F1 Menu
       - Added MenuItem Save SPC Data into the F1 Menu
       - Added a key to disable offset mode.  Press 0 key to
         activate/deactivate
       - Added small screen support in 640x480VESA2 modes.  This mode
         should be much faster for those who use 640x480.
         Use the -c commandline to enable this when in 640x480.
       - Added an option for centered small screen.  Use the -cc commandline.
       - Fixed up 320x240x65536 support for ARGB cards again.  It now
         should be working. (No, seriously!)
       - Removed some static from the sound.

         and having a save directory specified prevented more than 1 save
         state
       - Fixed a transparency bug from v0.390

         variables initialized
       - Increased default cycles executed in FastROM.
       - Added ZSNES.FAQ .  Read this if you have troubles!
       - Added a key to disable/enable Windowing.  Press 9 to
         activate this.
       - Implemented EAGLE algorithm in 640x480x256 video mode.  Use
         -y to enable.  Thanks to A CoolMan for the algorithm!
         Later on, we'll implement his code which has MMX acceleration!
       - Implemented FPU copy.  Use -o to enable.  Used only when copying
         buffer to video in 320x240 vesa2 modes.

         you want to go back to v0.300 sound engine, use -x as a command line
       - Added Cursor Mode Button to the Super Scope.  Never thought it was
         necessary until recently.  Use the =/+ key.
