r727
Fixed Makefiles for non-MSYS builds. Unfortunately had to revert a lot of the automated configuration that Harry had inserted. Users will again need to hand-edit Makefile.Win32 for their configuration. Verbose warnings (-Wall) have been restored.

The latest iNES 5.3 for Windows and Linux, released on May 22 2018, lets you pause replay at any time by pressing UP button, then browse through your own gameplay with LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Once satisfied, press UP again to resume replay, or any other button to keep playing from the chosen spot. If you do not know what the replay feature is, simply press F8 during gameplay and see.

- Made replay save states approximately every 170ms.
- Added ability to browse through paused replay.
- During replay, the UP button to pause.
- Press LEFT and RIGHT to browse through paused replay.
- Press UP to resume replay, any other key to continue.
- Made WaitJoystick() exit when window closed.

1.27.4.0 - 26 May 2018

- [Bug #555] Fix for showing 559th DHGR vertical column.

• But now an HGR HCOLOR=2 vertical line at column 0 is only 1 DHGR pixel wide.
  
• Fix TEXT80 to be aligned with DHGR.
  
• Fix FLASH in TEXT80 (the inverse aux-memory char would overwrite the main-memory char).

- [Change #554] Help: Added a new help page about AppleWin's SSC emulation.
- [Change #522] SSC: ZLINK not starting unless DCD is set.

• DCD state is now a mirror of DSR unless -dcd switch is used.
  
• Removed -dsr,-dtr switches, so -modem is now an alias for -dcd.

- [Bug #308] SSC: For TCP mode, support DSR, DCD & CTS status bits.
- SSC: Now DTR must also be set to enable interrupts (in addition to the respective Tx/Rx interrupt bit).
- SSC: Change DIPSW1's baud rate to 9600 (was 19200).

It’s the day you’ve been eagerly awaiting all month: MAME release day! MAME 0.198, our May release, is packed full of improvements in lots of areas. Newly supported arcade games include the rare video pinball game Tom Tom Magic, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu EX ’98, and Keirin Ou. Newly supported computers include the TI-99/2, Dragon MSX-64, and BBC Master 512.

This release brings graphics emulation improvements to a number of systems, including more fixes for Sega Saturn/ST-V, missing effects emulated in 1945k III, and improvements to the title screen in Wolf Fang. The SH-4 recompiler now supports more FPU opcodes directly, and NAOMI keyboards are supported. Low-level floppy drive emulation improvements bring improved compatibility for Apple II software. Newly supported peripherals include a PC ISA LBA BIOS card, the Beeb Speech Synthesiser, and a number of BBC Micro pointing devices.

Other additions include new Tiger handhelds (Batman: The Animated Series, Operation: Aliens, Wayne’s World, and X-Men), the Fidelity Elegance and Prestige chess computers, and alternate versions of Battle Balls, Centipede, Final Fight, Karate Blazers, Last Mission, Real Puncher, Sengoku 3, Spy Hunter, and World Heroes 2. There are lots of additions to the Apple II cassette software list, and several additions to the Sorcerer cassette software list as well. MAME now supports Korean user interface thanks to a contribution from Neius.

For developers, we’ve fixed some issues in the debugger affecting CPUs that use word addressing, and the source list is sorted more intuitively in memory windows. We’ve made a number of changes to how machine configuration works to make driver development more intuitive and less error-prone.

Please note that MESSUI is no longer provided here. Use MAMEUI and make these changes:

- copy mess.ini to mame.ini
- copy ini\mess.ini to ini\mame.ini
- copy MESS_g.ini to MAME_g.ini
- copy messui.ini to mameui.ini
- Start MAMEUI, click on View, Custom Filters, tick Arcade, click OK. Now it will be the same as MESSUI was.

- Fixed a problem with some neogeo games

2018-05-30 0.198
----------------


- Added missing bioses to Neogeo
- HBMAMEUI: added warning message box if roms have incorrect checksum or length
- HBMAMEUI: will no longer be worked on in its current form, except to keep it
compiling. If you want a full-featured front-end, use one of the dozens of
good ones out there, for example EmuLoader or QMC2.



New Games
---------------------------------
- [mslug*] Huge number of hacks (added by gaston)
- [ngym2610] Neogeo test of YM2610 (by Blastar)

* Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes.

Version 7.3.6725
Built at 31, Mai, 2018 23:08.

- Added: APU io-bus emulation.*
- Added: APU now emulates the real nes clock rates, which clocks on the other cpu's cycle.*
- Improved: Sound quality by adding high-pass filters as original nes hardware, see http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/APU_Mixer.
- Fixed: SDL2 video renderer eat up memory when FPS is shown.
- Fixed: SDL2 video renderer crashes in some cases.

IMPORTANT: this version is not compatible with state-saves data that are made by previous versions of My Nes.
Please go to \Documents\MyNes\States folder and either back up the data or delete them.

* Notes for whom interested in NES emulation:

Quelques progrès sur cette nouvelle version. Plusieurs jeux tournent de manière correcte (surtout les jeux en 2D). Les différences sur la compatibilité avec les jeux restent minimes pour l'instant. Steve devrait dans quelques semaines s'occuper de la partie graphique (corrections de bugs) et les progrès devraient être plus visibles, il avance tranquillement, mais sûrement. Voici les nouveautés :

- SH2 : suppression des timings pour les interruptions.
- SCU : Réécriture de la gestion des flags DPS.
- SCU : Réécriture des commandes DSP et du mappage des opcodes.
- SCU : Réécriture de la gestion du registre RA du DSP.
- SCU : Réécriture de la gestion du registre PPAF.
- SCU : Réécriture de la gestion du registre DSTA.
- SCU : Réécriture de la gestion de la priorié du DMAC.
- SCU : Réécriture de l'INTC.
- SCU : Ajout du timing pour envoyer l'interruption de l'INTC.
- SCU : Ajout du registre TN0 pour le DSP.
- SCU : Ajout d'une fonction de désassemblage pour le DSP.
- SCU : Ajout des restrictions pour ajouter des valeurs de DMA.
- SCU : Ajout de la vérification des conflits avec les commandes de retard du DSP.
- SCU : Ajout de la vérification de l'accès en lecture du registre PPAF pendant que le DSP s'exécute.
- SYSTEME : Support de l'ajout des données utilisateurs vers un événement.

The latest release, published on June 1 2018, lets you pause replay at any time with the UP key and single-step through it with LEFT and RIGHT keys. Resume replay by pressing UP again, or go back to gameplay with any other key. If you do not know what the replay feature is, press F8 and see what happens.

Recent ColEm releases also added support for 2kB SRAM found in the Lord Of The Dungeon game, Super Game Module (SGM) emulation, 24c08 and 24c256 EEPROM emulation, and other modern features important to the homebrew community.

- Made replay save states approximately every 170ms.
- Added ability to browse through paused replay.
- During replay, press UP to pause or resume.
- When replay paused, press LEFT and RIGHT to browse.
- Press any other button to continue playing.
- Now cancelling replay if any key or button is pressed.
- Made WaitJoystick() exit when window closed.

2018/06/02 2.90 released
- When "R-TYPE Complete CD" is started, press [RUN] button for a long time(
until irem's logo appears), and the mode to automatically skip the demo
scene will be set.
* If you normally press [RUN] button, it will start up normally. If you
want to completely cut off this function, please uncheck "Setting->
Improve-> Auto Skip Demo [start keep RUN] (R-TYPE Complete CD)" menu.
- From Ootake v2.88, the bug of processing "Backup RAM (Ten no Koe 2) file
was formatted to save only the required 2KB" was fixed.
* The timing of saving the "bram file" is the moment when either "Close
Ootake", "Open other games","Save State" was done.
* Even with the above timing, if the contents to be saved are exactly the
same as the last time (eg in RPG does not have equipment or experience
value update at all), the bram file will not be updated. In that case,
if you want to be able to load the "bram file (2047 bytes) saved with
Ootake v2.88 & v2.89" in Mednafen, please add 1 byte (value 0) at the
end with binary editor etc and save it as "2048 bytes". I'm sorry for
troubling you.
- Improved processing of inputting the game pad. Even with low power PC, I
think that several games ("Power Drift", "Space Harrier" etc.) have come
to work comfortably.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Beta Release 18.6, 2 June 2018
==============================
- Fix CRTC regression with "iMPdraw";
- Fix VDU regression with "ThunderBlade";

Meunier).
