• -Fixed my GetMnemonic crash fix. It's "Null Controller", not "NULL Controller".
• -Made it so that each new search zeroes out the change count.
• --This prevents all non-zero items from starting out with 1 change.
• --A similar fix needs to be applied to Ram Watch (Filing issue...).
• -Allowed changing data size, endian, and unaligned address setting in the middle of the search and maintaining valid values, fixing Issue 72 (The last open Ram Search issue until my "Difference" idea is hopefully accepted).
• --Unlike my previous model, this does not align unaligned addresses; all it does is change the size / endian and PeekAddress.
• --It does remove unaligned addresses, however, if you have it set to.
• --This version converts System Bus instantly whereas the previous version stopped responding.

• Seemingly fixed the casting problem.
• -UGLY REDUNDANT UGLY REDUNT UGLY REDUNDANT (Especially for DoSpecificValue() and DoPreviousValue()).
• -I tested every possible scenario for the aforementioned abomination and it seems to work.
• -I applied SignedVal and UnsignedVal to the comparison functions for sorting, the ToString functions, and specific value and previous weedings. I don't think there's any other places where this is an issue.
• TODO:
• -Try my mid-search data size conversion code again.
• --Use it on System Bus and see if it is as slow (Not Responding) as it was previously now that 3 lists have been removed.
• --Try allowing unaligned addresses and see if that makes any difference.
• -Convince adelikat that moving "Prev value as change" to its own data item and column ("Differences" seems more appropriate) is the only sensible way.
• -Maybe move all of the previous definitions from Ram Search to Ram Watch (With the exception of "Since last Search" of course.
• -Perhaps allow the viewing / hiding of more columns on Ram Watch / Search.

• Unsigned / signed conversion for the Specific Value now works for word / dword.
• -Well, dword is broken in general because of casting, which will hopefully be fixed soon...

• -Separated the logging from the save state function.
• -Made it so that the log only opens when logging is true and that the file closes upon destruction.
• --Still, BizHawk says that it can't open the file again when I load a game again. This is because the emulator class gets recreated without deleting the original one every time you load a game.
• ---adelikat convinced me not to care about this.
• -Fixed the initial state of the GB CPU:
• --It was setting AF to 0x01, not A. This is effectively setting F to 0x01, which gets overwritten later anyway.
• --Two BIOS flags were used in different places; merging them gets the PC to start in the right place.
• -By fixing the initial state, most of the log now matches up.
• --The only differences are the VBA has some repeated records (Where all of the registers, including PC, are the same as the previous record) whereas BizHawk doesn't.
• --This very well might be an issue with how I'm logging it
• --Alternatively, it could be some kind of lagging mechanism.
• --I'm not sure which version is even correct...VBA is far from accruate.
• --All in all, considering that the vast majority of the diff comes out as the same, I think I fixed the biggest CPU related bug. Will investigate more later.
