MESS SVN r11507

DOSBox SVN r3710

"r3710
cr0 always signals 386-type FPU present for 486+ target architectures (fixes Biing cdrom version)"

Stella SVN r2231

"r2231
Cleaned up some inlines that weren't needed.

Updated documentation with info about 2600-daptor, including
usage and its creator. Also included more in-depth explanation
for the various controller types.

Errors from the Thumb ARM emulation code are now caught as exceptions,
and thrown to the parent class instead of calling exit() and simply
crashing Stella. For now, the messages are simply printed and
emulation continues. This will be expanded to show a detailed crash
log in the debugger, and offer the option to exit the ROM.

Removed most of the menus from the OSX port. They weren't being
maintained anyway, and most of them didn't work. I've modelled this
on the way other cross-platform OSX programs work (notably, ScummVM).
Basically, there are menus for exit and help, but otherwise you
should use the menuing system in the application itself."

Now, these things will appear in high-resolution when virtual EFB copies are on."
