  log: "Update to 0.8.A:\n\n0.8.A:\n\tNES:  Cleaned up the iNES loading code a bit,
    and added\n\tsupport for WRAM on a few mappers that nominally shouldn't\n\thave
    WRAM, enabled if the battery-backed bit is set in the\n\tiNES header.  Fixes \"Family
    BASIC\", and probably\n\ta few bootleg games as well.\n\n\tNES:  Added partially-broken
    support for mapper 163.\n\n\tNES:  Added support for mapper 241.\n\n\tFixed string
    constant-to-(char *) problems in drivers/cheat.cpp\n\n\tAdded setting \"osd.state_display_time\",
    to control the\n\tlength of time, in milliseconds, the save state/movie\n\tscreen
    is displayed after selecting a save state or movie.\n\n\tThe most recently-saved
    save state slot will now be colored\n\tdifferently when selecting a save state
    slot.\n\tIncreased the brightness of non-empty save state slots.\n\tEmpty save
    state slots are now black instead of being\n\tpartially transparent.\n\n\tPC-FX:
    \ Fixed bugs in \"Play Audio Track Index\" and \"Read\n\tSubchannel\" MMC commands,
    fixing the totally broken\n\tcinematic sequences in \"Boundary Gate\".  There
    may still\n\tbe bugs in these commands that don't cause any known\n\tproblems
    with games, so I will need to run tests on a real\n\tsystem.\n\n\tGBA: An error
    loading the custom colormap file is now\n\ttreated as fatal.\n\n\tWin32:  The
    German and Russian translation files are now\n\tincluded in the Win32 precompiled
    binary distribution\n\tZIP file.  Note that Mednafen always assumes the locale
    to\n\tbe UTF-8, so the stdio.txt file will need to be\n\topened with a viewer
    that can handle UTF-8(though filenames\n\twith non-7-bit-ASCII components will
    appear fubar).\n\t(I am aware that assuming the locale's character encoding\n\tto
    always be UTF-8 is a design flaw with\n\tvarious insidious consequences when the
    encoding is not\n\tUTF-8).\n\n\tUpdated the Russian translation with the translation
    done\n\tby rubicon.\n\n\tAdded configure script option \"--enable-altivec/--disable-altivec\n\t(default:
    enabled)\" for compiling on\n\tPowerPC architectures where AltiVec is not supported,
    or\n\tcauses problems.  This configure script option is\n\tuntested, however.\n\n\tInput
    for the virtual device on virtual port N will be\n\tdisabled when the buttons
    on the virtual device on virtual\n\tport N are being configured.  The last button
    pressed when\n\tin button configuration may still be taken as\n\tvirtual device
    input, however(a fix for this would be too\n\tinvasive, and so will be done in
    the 0.9.x unstable\n\ttree).\n\n\tPCE:  Added several missing input-related state
    variables\n\tto save states, fixing several netplay/movie\n\tdesynchronization
    issues under certain situations.\n\n\tFixed a bug when creating an SDL source
    surface, whose\n\tnegative effects(clipping rightmost columns) could be\n\ttriggered
    when the \"sdl\" vdriver setting was used with\n\tcertain xscale and yscale settings
    that would\n\tcause a 1:1 pixel copy operation.\n\n\tPC-FX:  Improved PSG LFO
    emulation again(Tyoushin Heiki\n\tZeroigar uses it for some sound effects, other\n\tgames
    likely use it as well in similar roles).\n\n\tPCE:  Improved PSG LFO emulation
    again(Hanii in the Sky,\n\tJuuouki, and Flash Hiders use LFO).\n\n\tPCE: Altered
    the Street Fighter 2 autodetection code to be\n\tdata-agnostic.  The SF2 mapper
    will now be enabled for\n\tany ROM images 2MiB and over in size.\n\n\tFixed a
    call to putenv(), to pass a static character array\n\tinitialized to a string
    constant instead of a string\n\tconstant directly.\n\n\tFixed a few argument descriptions(invoked
    with the -help\n\tcommand-line switch) that weren't properly gettextized.\n\n\tDebugger:
    \ Fixed a bug in the trace log code.  It would\n\tcause the emulator to lock up
    if the user pressed\n        Enter/Return in the prompt popup without any text
    in the input field.\n\n\tSMS:  Removed the old unused Z80 emulator code from when\n\tSMS
    Plus was assimilated.\n"
