[NES8] HalfNes 0.043

HalfNES 0.043 (12/27/2011)

Last version for the year.

• Fixed many more bugs and edge cases with the file loading, including a crash that only seemed to happen on Linux when loading a ROM from the command line
• Made some changes to the sprite rendering code, now pass more of blargg's sprite hit tests and the Snake Pit level in Battletoads shouldn't flicker any more. (I haven't actually tested this since I can't get back there now.)

HalfNES 0.042(11/07/2011)

• Added video smoothing option
• Updated NTSC filter (use with the video smoothing on for best results)
• Fixed sound bug for VRC6 games
• Fixed crash when loading corrupt .nes files

HalfNES 0.041(11/07/2011)

• Added experimental NTSC graphics filter. Wriiten from scratch, not a port of Blargg's NTSC code. This looks quite a bit more like a real old terrible 80's TV. Unfortunately, it's still very slow.
• Fixed Punch-Out, which was broken since version 0.039

HalfNES 0.040(10/17/2011)

• Added Mapper 68 (Afterburner and Afterburner II)
• Monkeyed around with the audio code, MMC5 sound channels had the wrong pitch and audio was clipping at full volume. Both of those should be fixed. Also fixed sound popping when pausing and unpausing. And in the time it took me to do that byuu made in a week what took me a year. eh.

HalfNES 0.039 (9/24/2011)

• Added mappers 5 and 119. Castlevania III works now and so do all other MMC5 games except for Laser Invasion and two Japanese exclusive ones. Also fixed one tiny almost unnoticeable bug with drum sounds cutting off a tiny bit early that has been there for months unnoticed.
