meisei 1.1/1.1.1

Two new versions of meisei have been released in the last few days! New in the 1.1 version:

• gfx: fixed DDraw renderer border refresh bug
• input: corrected keyboard matrix quirk
• changed power-on timing, to prevent "A Life M36 Planet" from locking up
• added movie time code view option on play/record (hh:mm:ss;ff)
• vdp: you can now disable/enable sprite and tile layers
• vdp: added unlimited sprites option. This eliminates sprite flickering on most games, without affecting core accuracy: collision and overflow bits still work the same. Games that use overflow as a trick to hide sprite lines, like Athletic Land when falling into the water, will show glitches.
• sound: added "triple buffering" to prevent overflows on longer frames
• timing: speed up setting is now in percentage instead of integer multiply
• timing: added slowdown feature, working similar to speed up (default: F10)
• gfx: auto save palette didn't work
• input: added "invert" function for axes
• input: limited the speed of DInput reads, instead of always at every vblank. It sometimes returned wrong values in fast forward mode.
• timing: added direct control over frame speed/reverse with an analogue axis, by default mouse Y axis while holding F10 + F12. It's called DJ scratching, since it kind of resembles that.
• mappers: added AMD flash memory emulation, and Matra's INK mapper. One INK cartridge died in the process (no, not inkjet), curses were heard as far away as planet Gradius.
• fixed crash when opening an SCC game by drag-dropping, while that same SCC game was already running

New features and fixes in the 1.1.1 version:

• mappers: AMD flash erase sector/chip command didn't work properly
• changed default video format to PAL, per default C-BIOS region code
• gfx: full screen setting is now saved, so it's possible to start meisei in full screen
