• Fixed Little Endian CPU detection on configure script for Mac
• Fixed error with divmmc and machines using ram on rom, like Chloe, which gets corrupted the ram
• Fixed hardware display size change on Amstrad CPC. Now games that use, for example, ZX Spectrum resolution, are displayed fine
• Fixed AY chip on Amstrad CPC
• Fixed debugger error when debugging repeated table values DD/FD
• Fixed reading ULAplus port 0xFF3B
