Hello, All!

I updated three of my emulators this week: VGB, fMSX, and ColEm for Android. In VGB, I fixed the handling of DI+HALT CPU bug emulation to accommodate cases where DI instruction occurs immediately before HALT. In fMSX and ColEm, I changed the way video processor accesses VRAM, removing extra steps not found on a real TMS9918 VDP diagram.
All three emulators now come with an option to automatically save your gameplay state every few minutes. See below for more details.
