* CD audio tracks (CD-DA) are not supported (yet)

[Core/CPU]
----------
* modified 68k core for Mega CD / Sega CD support

[Core/VDP]
---------------
* improved DMA accuracy
* added support for 8-bit VRAM writes with undocumented code value (verified on
real hardware by Nemesis)

[Gamecube/Wii]
---------------
* modified Master System & Game Gear "BIOS" support (files should be named
bios_U.sms, bios_J.sms, bios_E.sms & bios.gg and copied to /genplus/bios
directory).
* replaced "Hard Reset" button by a Soft Reset for systems having a Reset button
(Mega Drive / Genesis & Master System)
* State & SRAM files are now only compressed when saving to Gamecube Memory
Cards
* various fixes & cleanup.

2b78421402 [Core]
------

* improved 68k accuracy (initial reset timing + auto-vectored interrupts handling).
* modified Z80 & 68k cores to directly use external cycle count instead of intermediate counters.
* improved Z80 & 68k cpu execution/synchronization accuracy, now use Master Clock as common clock reference.
* improved PSG & FM chips synchronization with CPU execution (fixed point precision).
* completely rewrote sound output processing & mixing: sound chips are now clocked with exact output frame rate
to ensure 100% smooth video & audio playback, with no lag or skipping, while still rendering an accurate number
of samples per frame. This will also make fast-forward implementation (video AND sound) more trivial.
* improved color accuracy in VDP highlight mode to match results observed on real hardware.
* improved sprites processing timing accuracy: fixes (un)masked sprites in Mickey Mania (3D level), Sonic 2 (VS mode).
* improved horizontal blanking & HINT/VINT occurrence timing accuracy, as measured on real hardware.
* improved H-Counter accuracy in 40-cell mode, as measured on real hardware.
* optimized Z80 bus status signals
* usual code cleanup
