An emulator for the Microbee Z80 ROM, FDD and HDD based microcomputers.

New for this release:
* The new sound driver is now the default with the older code having been removed altogether. The new code produces excellent sound quality and has less drop outs.
* Added an audio DAC parallel port device argument of 'dac' to the --parallel-port option to select the new 8 bit DAC emulation.
* Added EMUKEY+PAGEDOWN hot key to emulate a Microbee 'power cycle'. This action has also been added to the OSD menu.
* Added --powercyc option to perform a 'power cycle'.
* Added joystick Hat events to generate pseudo button numbers.
* Added --js-hat and --js-hatb options to set joystick hat parameters.
* Added --js-kkb option to make defining mapped joystick keys easier.
* Added --js-shift option to set the new joystick SHIFT button feature.
* Added joystick SHIFT button functionality that effectively doubles the number of button actions to 255-511.
* Added 'hd-teac' and 'hd-mscribe' hard disk formats to the 'libdskrc.sample' file.
* Added Swedish PC85 ROM set (PC85S) aliases to 'roms.alias.sample'

Changes:
* Changed --js-ACTION options to take multiple button values.
* Joystick shifted button numbers 256-511 can now be specified.
* Added axis and Hat button numbers when using --modio=+joystick argument.
* New default joystick buttons are used and enabled by default. See 'joystick.c' or 'games.ini.sample' for the joystick layout:

JS E|O : Up (128|144).
JS F|P : Right (129|145).
JS G|Q : Down (130|146).
JS H|R : Left (131|147).
JS K|L|T|U|X : Fire (0|1|0|1|11).
JS A|I : Player 1 (4|8 ).
JS C|J : Player 2 (5|9).
JS B|M|N|V|W : Spare (6|2|3|2|3).

JS Shift : Shift is button 'D' (7).
JS Shift+A : Mute sound on/off (4).
JS Shift+B : Full screen on/off (6).
JS Shift+C : Pause emulator on/off (5).
JS Shift+Up : increases sound volume.
JS Shift+Down : decreases sound volume.
JS Shift+Right : increases window size.
JS Shift+Left : decreases window size.

* The BeeThoven device no longer requires an 'OUT 1,3' before using it.
* Improvements in speed made to CRTC functions.
* Major changes to the 'games.ini.sample' and 'ubee512rc.sample' scripts to make setting up the joystick easier and more flexible. Emulator commands now make use of a Joystick shift button.
* Changes made to the 'ubee512rc.sample' file.

Fixed:
* Changes made to --varuset option so that 'varname', 'varname=' and 'varname=value' all work.
* Fixed --setvar option when attempting to set a variable that had no '=' character. The variable was being set but could not be located without it so now one is appended if missing. '--setvar myvar' will get set and found.
* Changes made to --setvar option to first check for an existing variable by the same name and removing it before setting the new variable.
* The --js-axis option was doing nothing and has been fixed.
* Fixed hard disk image type '.hd0' to have 306 cylinders, not 305.

A command line tool for copying floppy disks and images from one to another. The program is intended for Microbee disks but is also useful for other formats and is based on the LibDsk library.

Changes:
* The retry1 value when copying now defaults to 30 or to 1 if the input type is set to 'remote'. The --retry-l1 option has been fixed and can now be used to override this. A low value for 'remote' is required as too many retries were being used on native hardware when it wasn't really needed and slowing up the process on bad sectors.
* The retry1 value when scanning now defaults to 5 or to 1 if the input type is set to 'remote'.
* The --retry-l1 option can now be used to override the retry1 value when the 'scan' command is used.

Fixed:
* The retry1 value was always being set to 30 when copying regardless of the --retry-l1 setting and has now been fixed.

An emulator for the Microbee Z80 ROM, FDD and HDD based microcomputers.

New for this release:
* Added BeeThoven emulation. The Microbee BeeThoven peripheral is based on a General Instruments AY-3-8910 Programmable Sound Generator chip.
* Added BeeTalker emulation. The Microbee BeeTalker peripheral is based on a General Instruments SP0256-AL2 speech synthesiser chip.
* Added --parallel-port option to connect addon parallel port peripherals.
* Added --sdl-putenv option to allow SDL environment variables to be set. This can be used to change the behaviour of SDL. The variables supported depends on the SDL version and the SDL documentation should be consulted.
* Added the current SDL-1.2.14 DLL to the Windows distribution packages.

Changes:
* Improvements to speaker sound synchronising with the Z80 when using the BeeThoven or BeeTalker peripheral.
* Changes to the printer port, this can now be set to peripheral devices. A printer (to file) is now just another peripheral that can be connected.
* OpenGL video support handling has changed on Windows systems when SDL-1.2.14 or later is detected. As SDL has fixed some OpenGL bugs in that release some of the existing work arounds are now bypassed at run time. Older SDL versions should operate as before. Improvements on Windows systems may be noticeable.
* Added some SDL environment variables examples in ubee512rc.sample.
* Added --parallel-port=joystick to games.ini.sample.
* Added the required SP0256 ROM alias entry to roms.alias.sample.
* Changes to the volume coding required the default volume percentage to be increased from 15% to 45% to compensate.
* Build platform for Linux binaries upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Fixed:
* Lock keys up/down bug is now fixed in SDL-1.2.14 when the SDL environment variable SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS is set to "1". This is done internally by the emulator when SDL-1.2.14 is detected. Games such as Micro Defender should now work.
* SDL-1.2.14 has some issues with false mouse movement events when the mouse cursor is disabled. This has been worked around, this has also fixed some existing issues with the mouse cursor in full screen mode. Full screen mode can now start-up with the mouse cursor disabled.
* On Unix builds the time in milliseconds was not being calculated correctly as a 64 bit value.
* The mouse double click detection had the wrong size timer variable which had the potential to cause problems.

- The old change history is now complete all the way back to the first known version
- Removed [Exxx] from game names
- Work continues on adding the save supported flag to all games
- Fixed a bug in the GUI that prevented the selection of an alternate NeoGeo bios



Please note, this version requires "fmod.dll" to be in your misfitmame folder. This
DLL is closed-source, therefore it is not included with the distribution. To get the
extra "metal" sounds, you need to find the audio files on the net.

(The Windows version is 2.2.2. The only difference between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 is a correction to the UNIX configure script.)
