New preview build: Get it (If you downloaded this within the first 5 minutes after uploading, re-download it, I fixed a dumb bug)

Changes:
* Changed VRAM layout, now the UI tilemap is one map wide instead of two, text routines have been changed to compensate
* Moved some code and data around for more speed and code cleanup
* Now accepts roms added to 256 byte aligned boundaries (now need to make a builder to enforce that)
* Konami Speedhacks for many konami games
* Fixed Konami VRC IRQs
* Added MMC5 IRQs

Hey Dwedit!

So yeah, I also have a request as well.

It's been asked before but I was wondering again if there is any possible chance to combine Goomba Color and PocketNES within the same .gba file.

It would make me happy, but I'm sure it would probably drive you nuts so I'm expecting a poopy reply back from you. Laughing

Anyway, great work on the rewrite!

My Micro still grabs most of my attention now days and I really think it's a better handheld than the DS.

Cheers.

And while your at it, fix me a sandwich as well. Laughing

Sorry... I couldn' resist. Very Happy

@Dwedit: I loaded your latest test version of PocketNES on my flash card.

I -was- going to test to see if I could duplicate that CV3 error again, until I forgot that saved states aren't included in this version. Im not good enough at CV3 to get to the same spot again without em. Embarassed

In any event, I did stumble upon yet another glitch, though harder to duplicate:

I was playing Mega Man 2 today. I started a new game, selected Bubble Man's Stage, and got to the boss. I had him down by about 15%, he had just jumped up on the lefthand side of my screen, and I was in the process of jumping right to counter his weapon fire.

I then had my screen garbled totally, then replaced with the first screen of a Wily Castle stage.

It's the stage where you start with a ladder up, and one large weapon energy container to your left and right.

The general outline of this screen remained intact, but the Boss music was still playing. I could control megaman, but the screen was still garbled. I could see a garbled version of the ladder, but not climb it. I could collect both weapon energy containers, and open/close my start menu. Beyond that I was stuck, forever, in this half boss fight, half Wily stage screen, with no visible way of restoring my game, except a hard reset of the system.

I did a hard reset of my GBA and played to the end of the stage again, only to beat the boss without any errors at all. I wish I could duplicate this problem and give you more info but no dice. (both a good and bad thing, lol)

Hopefully you can poke around and see what caused this. If you have any questions I'll try and answer them as best I can.

Hey Dwedit, I don't know if this has been reported already or not, but that whole "hold L to scroll down, crash into GBC BIOS" bug still exists in PAL games. At least in Super Turrican I get it.
