openMSX 0.14.0

MSX/2 模擬器 openMSX 發布新版，更新如下 :

MSX device support:
- fixed VDP type of Sony HB-501P
- fixed a bug that caused hangups on some machines when resetting during the
  logo animation
- fixed ROM block debuggable for Sunrise IDE
- improved accuracy of WD2793 FDC and disk drive emulation
- added support for Spectravideo SVI-318 and SVI-328 pre-MSX computers:
  - most SVI support was implemented by Tomas Karlsson. With NYYRIKKI's help
    we fixed most last details
  - added in Contrib a tool to convert SVI disk images to DMK so they can be
    used in openMSX
  - added SVI support to several scripts (thanks to NYYRIKKI): cashandler,
    type_via_keybuf, listing
  - note the following limitations:
    - only WAV images are supported for cassettes. The stereo feature
      (music/sound on the other channel) is not supported.
    - only DMK disk images can be used
    - nothing is done to prevent the user to mix MSX and SVI hardware/software.
      This will not work, of course. As we are not SVI enthusiasts ourselves,
      we rely on contributions from others for the SVI support.
- added accurate M1 cycle emulation
- added support for ASCII8 mapper with 32kB SRAM
- added initial support for the ASCII paddle input device (paddle 1 and 2 only)
- added new machines: Bawareth Perfect MSX1, Al Alamiah AX370 (thanks to
  alshamaa), and as already mentioned: Spectravideo SVI-318, SVI-328 and a
  superexpanded SVI-328.
- added new extensions: Konami Ultimate Collection, ASCII Japanese MSX-Write,
  ASCII Japanese MSX-Write II and Tecall TM220 MSX-RAMFILE

New or improved emulator features:
- performance improvements:
  - reverse feature
  - hq resampler
- fixed issue with remote connections on Mac OS X/FreeBSD
- changed default sound driver on Windows to SDL, because the DirectX sound
  driver has been removed
- fixed creation of new HD images
- changed the default renderer to SDLGL-PP
- (probably!) fixed stability of MIDI-in on Windows. Unfortunately we didn't
  find someone to help us test this properly
- also improved stability on external connections in general
- allow to specify initial content for flash ROMs. This way it is possible to
  use MegaFlashROMSCC+SD like how the actual hardware is also shipped:
  preflashed.
- several improvements on the listing command (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added automatic file numbering for record_channels
- added a tron script (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added script that records to a new AVI file if the framerate changes (thanks
  to BiFi and FiXato for their initial version)
- added mapper selection to OSD menu for unknown ROMs
- automatically pad ROM files if they are not a multiple of the block size,
  instead of refusing to run that ROM
- added OSD button to invoke OSD menu in the top left corner
- added VGM recorder script (by Niek Vlessert) to help you record MSX songs
  into VGM files, supporting PSG, MSX-MUSIC, MSX-AUDIO, OPL4 and SCC

Ootake Ver2.82

PCE/CD模擬器 Ootake 發布新版，更新如下 :

- With Windows8/10 when "Play Installed CD" is selected, fixed the problem
    that Ootake stopped.
  - When "Sorcerian" is started, the title screen is launched immediately.
    (launched with [I] button pressed) If you do not need this, please uncheck
    [Adjust Sorcerian BGM Repeat] of [Setting->Improve] menu.
  - [Auto Skep Opening (Sorcerian)] was added to [Setting->Improve] menu. If
    this menu is checked, when "Sorcerian" is started, the title screen is
    launched immediately.(launched with [I] button pressed)
    By default this is off. + When this menu is checked, if you reset the game
    with [SELECT]+[RUN], you can see the opening demo.
  - In "Sorcerian", when the party returned to the castle, fixed a problem
    where BGM was disturbed.
  - The operation of the PCE built-in sound (wave memory sound) has been
    brought close to the real machine. In "Xevious - Fardraut Densetsu", when
    PAUSE was released, the problems that sound became thin was solved.
  - When "Gotzendiener" is started, it is starts with Multi-Tap removed. The
    problem that the motion was unstable has been solved. (This problem will
    occur in the same way on the real machine)
  - Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
