rotation/scaling, etc)
* added .ISO & .BIN CD image file support
* added 512K backup cartridge RAM support
* added savestate support for CD games

NOTES:
~~~~~~
* to play CD games, original BIOS ROM files are required in /genplus/bios/
directory: unzip & rename them to bios_CD_U.bin, bios_CD_E.bin, bios_CD_J.bin
* 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.

ab4638144c [Core/VDP]
---------------
* added support for Master System compatibility mode (Z80 ports access mode), incl. Mode 5 rendering.

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

[GCN/WII]
---------
fixed ASNDLIB exit when returning to game
fixed audio/video startup sync
modified audio back-end engine according to new audio processing core (see above)

f2e93d4949 updated Z80 core to last version (fixes IM0 interrupt timing + some BIT instructions)
added John Madden Football 93 in EEPROM database (fixes backup support)
initiated ROM database for cartridges that uses SRAM (some ROM headers are definitively wrong !), need more...
