this release fixes a critical bug in 0.6pre4 where the initial system would have near-zero volume after the intro plays for the first time.

the changes featured in 0.6pre4 are:

  • new speed system - easier to use and now with groove patterns
  • two new chips: SM8521 (used in Game.com) and Ensoniq ES5506 (32 sample channels)
  • output patchbay which allows you to route chip outputs arbitrarily (useful for JACK)
  • support for more than stereo (OPL3 and ES5506 are the supported chips)
  • optimized SCC and VRC6 emulation
  • true SegaPCM emulation
  • a brand-new intro and welcome screen
  • basic mode with reduced feature set for ease of use
  • 1.1.7 .dmf support
  • re-organized the UI a bit for ease of use
  • a bunch of bug fixes

thanks to the people who found and reported this bug!

32-BIT WINDOWS NOTE

this release features a Windows XP-compatible 32-bit build.
in order to ensure that it will be compatible with XP, I had to disable Native File Dialog and use portable-file-dialogs instead.
because it has a hang issue, the system file picker is not on by default.

only use the 32-bit build if you are absolutely certain you need it. otherwise, you don't. get the 64-bit release instead!
