Hello, All!

I have updated fMSX, ColEm and Speccy emulators for Android this week.
In all three cases, I had to remove cheating features, since Google now
bans apps containing any reference to cheating from its Google Play
store. Do not despair though, since you can reenable cheats by unzipping
a proper file with the cheats to your Android device. See below for
details.

fMSX 5.5.5 -- MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ Home Computer Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx
* Added native support for 64bit ARMv8 CPUs.
* Fixed accelerated sound on newer Androids.
* Had to remove the cheats, since Google Play no longer allows them.
* Unzip this file to /sdcard/fMSX to reenable cheats:
http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/fMSX-Cheats.zip
* Switched to Gradle build.

ColEm 4.6.6 -- ColecoVision Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.colem
* Added native support for 64bit ARMv8 CPUs.
* Fixed accelerated sound on newer Androids.
* Had to remove the cheats, since Google Play no longer allows them.
* Unzip this file to /sdcard/ColEm to reenable cheats:
http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/ColEm-Cheats.zip
* Switched to Gradle build.

Speccy 5.1.1 -- Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Timex Sinclair, Sam Coupe Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.speccy
