12/03/2005 - bsnes v0.015 released

      Changelog:

Added GZ / ZIP / JMA archive support [Nach, NSRT team]

Fixed bug in APU ADDW/SUBW opcode flags, thanks to DMV27, anomymous for info

Mosaic support is now (mostly) hardware accurate, thanks to TRAC for info

Fixed a bug in SC tilemap clipping, fixes Seiken Densetsu 3

Emulated pseudo-hires mode, uses a fairly poor color filter to simulate TV effect, the same one that SNES9x and Super Sleuth use

Rewrote the ROM loading code to be more port-friendly, and improved header detection

Added C4 emulation -- mostly correct. Only minor bugs remain, possibly not C4 related [Nach, byuu], also uses code from zsKnight, Overload, and anomie

Fixed noise channel generation for DSP, fixes Dual Orb 2 opening. Thanks to DMV27 for info

Fixed bug with DSP VxSRCN registers, fixes horrible sound corruption in Mortal Kombat 2/3

Modified DSP KON register reading to act according to anomie's research, while still allowing Der Langrisser, etc. to play sounds correctly

Fixed a bug in CPU BCD math, fixes numbers in SimEarth, thanks to DMV27 for info

Rewrote the windows port from scratch
