jsMSX 0.9.2 highlights

jsMSX, the first MSX Emulator 100% in javascript, has released its beta version 0.9.2. The project invites everyone to check it out from the SVN repository, try it, enjoy and report any bugs.

The recommended web browser platform to run it on is Firefox 2.0+, which implements gfx acceleration methods for the <canvas> tag.

Highlights:
- fallback gfx support for web browsers implementing only unaccelerated <canvas> tag (i.e. without get/putImageData() gfx acceleration methods), such as Firefox 1.5, Opera 9.0, IE 6.0 and Safari. jsMSX will now run on them, albeit slower.
- optimization of Z80 code with 2x improvement in performance (many function calls replaced for direct assignment).

Known bugs:
- the *fallback* (only) gfx mechanism is not working correctly in screen 2 (see e.g. the initial splash screen of RAMBO.ROM).
