Vice 2.0 released

[JKKDARK]

New version of the Commodore emulator for PC.

http://www.viceteam.org/


VICE is a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, QNX 4.x, QNX 6.x, Amiga, GP2X, SkyOS or Mac OS X machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128, the VIC20, almost all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).

- Fixed CPU timing bug introduced in 1.22 (demo "Borderless").
- Fixed bugs in the CIA emulation (demo "So-phisticated", W. Lorenz testsuite).
- Fixed various bugs in VIC-II emulation: Sprite x-positioning, Latch X/Y, video mode changes, DEN bit handling, raster IRQ, NTSC sprites and sprites in full/debugging border mode (list of fixed demos/games too long to mention here).
- RESTORE key is handled differently now, fixing an NMI bug because the NMI was asserted too long before.

** VIC20 changes
----------------

- Added unconnected c-bus floating byte support.
- New more precise PAL emulation, works only with double size and double scan.

** PET changes
--------------

- Added support for toggling CB2 sound output line.

** Miscellaneous changes

- Added support for more 3rd party basic extenders to petcat.
- Extended BMP saving to support 24bit.
- Fixed the joystick code of all emulators to handle state changes on both joysticks at the same time.
- New monitor commands and features.
- New memmap feature which allows tracking of memory accesses, activated by the configure option --enable-memmap.
- Fixed bug in ffmpeg/FFV1 driver. Should be really lossless now.
