- Noted that one of the unknown parameters for the MCU Init command is where it reads / writes eeprom data from.

MFSA 2009-43 Heap overflow in certificate regexp parsing

Genesis emulator. Get it HERE.

Added initial support for the "Palette Select" bit in VDP register 0. If the "Palette Select" bit is cleared, only the LSBs of each color component in CRAM is used to determine the colors to display, resulting in a maximum of 8 colors onscreen. This isn't very useful, but it's more accurate.
