- The NSF player will now disable the FDS sound channel on song initialization.
- Reads from $4090 and $4092 while emulating the FDS will now return the current envelope settings.
- Merged a lot of pirate MMC3 multicart emulation code with the main MMC3 emulation code.
- Added support for the MMC5's split-screen mode.
- Writes to $8000-$FFFF with D7 set during MMC1 emulation will cause the MMC1 mode register to be OR'd with $C.
