PCSX2 SVN r5011

GSdx: changes of r5007 did not help as much as I thought, disabled it for the time being, plus other minor optimizations

OpenEmulator v1.0.2

"Hello everyone,
it is once again my pleasure to announce that a new version of
OpenEmulator was released.
The highlight in OpenEmulator 1.0.2 is 1977 Apple II support. A short
feature list:
* Emulates the 1977 Apple II
* Joystick/mouse support with programmable axis and button mapping,
sensitivity, reversal, and joystick auto detection
* Supports PAL/NTSC video generation and crystal frequency (14.31818
MHz vs 14.25 MHz)
* Cycle-accurate video emulation
* Support for several character sets
* Emulates the floating bus
* Support of the Apple II cassette interface
* Support for Apple II revision 0 and 1 or later.
* Added the AppleColor Composite Monitor
Some tips:
* Besides the Controls menu and toolbar, you can also press CTRL
+BACKSPACE for reset and CTRL+CMD+BACKSPACE for restart
* To start BASIC, type E000G
* You can get cassette recordings of software here:
- http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/projects/cassettes
- https://public.me.com/lord_philip
(to load a cassette, follow the instructions with the recording, or
try LOAD from the BASIC > prompt)
* You can load Applesoft from cassette :-). You just won't be able to
use HIRES.
* Try entering this in the monitor:
1000:AD 51 C0 EA AD 50 C0 4C 00 10
1000G
* As always, you can tinker with the XML emulation description
Your comments are more than welcome!
Merry christmas,
and a great 2012,
with the best wishes,
Marc.-"

Jspeccy v0.89.1

"You do not know what happens to the software that many tests are made, as you begin Murphy released a working version and you brown lees. And that law is respected even by Christmas.
This update fixes a bug that did not record on tape. By the way, and to compensate, I made ​​a small improvement in order to choose the level of zoom window. Now may be x2, x3 and x4. It is full screen, but is more close. The users that you have graphics cards that support OpenGL hardware, you can take advantage of adding the command line in the definition-Dsun.java2d.opengl = True. With this, the CPU consumption when extending the window is reduced by at least 50%.
One last thing: the configuration file has grown back, so that should clear it to be recreated with all properties."
