User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
- More bug fixes:
* CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
malfunction has been fixed.
* Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
* UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.

This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
default.

test images are playable now).
Changes from last packaged version:
User-visible changes in 0.8.12:
- Several bugfixes
User-visible changes in 0.8.11:
- Finally, an accurate copper emulation, thanks to Sam Jordan.
- Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
- Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
- Old command line options actually work now.
- Some floppy related lockups removed.
User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
- Audio interpolation
- Bugfixes for
* disk emulation
* FPU emulation
* CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
* some 2.0+ filesystem packets
* text-based UI (should compile again)
* some other parts
- People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
(most of) them again.
User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
- The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
- Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
The package has ben changed to use the NetBSD sound driver instead of oss.
Changes from the web-page:
o Added driver-specific menu support to the X version.
o Broke all non-X versions (what, you didn't see this coming?).
o Added a reset menu item for the Apple ][ driver (it's now somewhat
usable).
o Fixed unix sound and CD interfaces to automatically detect what type
of system to compile for.
o Added support for Inserting/Removing FDS disks, and changing which
side is up.
o Fixed "Error 24" problem reading many FDS disks (still need write
support and timer IRQs).
o Fixed GTK version (yes, this one is tested).
o Fixed Makefile to allow overriding gtk-config (necessary for my system).
o More tweaks to the 68000 core (no it doesn't work).
o Cleaned up mapper 23 code (untested).
o Removed mapper vsync hooks (they weren't being used).
o Fixed NES palette mirroring (longstanding oops).
o More untested fixes to the Allegro and SVGALib ports (let's hope
they work this time).
Changes since the last version, from the authors web page:
Moved some event queue code out from pce.c to event.[ch].

Added a first approximation of Apple ][ lores graphics mode.
Added IRQ support to the emu68k core (no, genesis emulation still doesn't
work).
Added a new 6502 core (only used on NES right now, may be slightly buggy).
