Atari 2600:
This core has been superseded by Atari 7800 core. 2600 repository disabled from further updates and now is read-only. All further bug fixes and improvements for Atari 2600 should be made in Atari 7800 core which is fully compatible with 2600. Also 7800 core has improvements in 2600 part. All supported mappers are automatically detected and don't require special file extensions. So simply rename them back to standard a26 or bin extension.
Atari 2600 core still can be downloaded manually from its repository in its current form.

Downloader:
- Version 1.4 released.
- Added support for custom download filters: Users can now avoid installing files that they are not interested in. More info here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Downloa ... filters.md
- Fixed makedirs errors.
- Improved backup handling when a file is downloaded but the hash is wrong.
- Option url_safe_characters introduced (which is used aturllib.parse.quote(safe)).
- Better logging for update_only_linux and update_linux=false.
- Output is stored in the correct order in the logs when a Linux Update happens.
- Custom databases can now trigger sleeps through its header property.
- Better log when a file has override protection and could be updated.
- Other general improvements: optimizations, more test coverage, code cleanup...

CoCo3
CoCo3_220124.rtf Updates:
1: Fully supports CoCo3_FPGA / GIME-X byte move transactions (GART) via addresses $FFE1-$FFE9 [see docs].
2: Fully supports CoCo3_FPGA / GIME-X font manipulation [see docs].
3: Cold Start implemented new approach. The fixes the problem of going from Disk Basic to Extended Basic and not seeing a
difference. The change has side effect of not being able to cold start out of OS9. Work-around: <ctrl><alt><ins> followed by
<ctrl><alt><del>.
4: Memory size now supports 16MB. New OSD control allows the memory selections of 512K, 1M, 2M, and 16M.
5: New OSD option to 'Force Turbo' mode. If set the OSD turbo mode speed settings always control the coco's clock rate.
6: Tons of code cleanup including closer alignment to GIME-C and CoCo3_FPGA code. Better Cart compatibility.
7: MPI selection in the OSD has changed. Orch90 has been removed [you can load it as a cartridge or disk]. The selections are
(Slot 3) ECB and (Slot 4) Disk.
8: RTC has been added via addresses [$FFC0 - $FFC7] - [see docs].
9: New 'Force Turbo' mode is OSD.

Laser 310
- fixed video, timing issues, blinking cursor, incorrect fonts
Introducing MT32-pi lite for MiSTer
This is simplified version of MT32-pi board. It uses Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. It doesn't have any buttons or displays and very compact. It sits firmly on the side of the case. It also doesn't use cable, so it has more stable connection.
More info you can find here:

Release gerbers are in usual place:

Main:
- Adaptive scanlines support by Wickerwaka (cores will be updated to support this feature).
- IDE: Set default block size for multi r/w (Alex Oughton) (fixes Linux boot in ao486 core).
- PSX: change saves handling. Now memory card 1 is automounted per-game (like other cores).
- PSX: auto-pick cue/iso if only one available in folder and other tweaks/improvements.
ao486:
- sound: Add busy wait to write port status on DSP (user7182).
- Updated framework (shadow mask, 64phases filters, adaptive scanlines).

CoCo3 20220211
- Fixed issues relative to floppy's becoming read only after a reset.
- MiSTer Development core updated.
- Added a register level compatible cocosdc to be able to run NitrOS9 EOU vhd drive. To run pull the 68SDC.vhd file into coco3/games, mount the .vhd in drive 0, type dos to start. Note: sdc interface will corrupt the file system if running at 7.16Mhz [lower speeds seem fine on limited testing]
Genesis, MegaCD, SNES, NES, NeoGeo, TurboGrafx-16/CD:
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, latest shadow mask, etc)
- TGFX: Fix Order of the Griffon issue (dshadoff).
- TGFX: CPU: fix in microcode (srg320).

- Substantial hardware re-work behind the scenes!
- Hardware sprite mouse pointer in Advanced mode
- Menu now openable using USER button and OSD option
- SOCD detection in Digital mode
- Credits page
- Another 'secret' game

ZX Spectrum, ZX Next, TSConf, ZX81, PET2001:
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, shadow mask, 64-phase filters).
- TSConf: Fixed a bug. High sprites were hidden (Ramon Martinez).
- ZXNext, TSConf: persistent image mounting (remembered across boots). Please rename boot.vhd(boot0.vhd, boot1.vhd) to other name if you want this feature working.
Arcade Astrocade:
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, shadow mask, 64-phase filters).
- Add speaker configuration setting for Gorf versions using speech
Stereo = Speech mixed in with output for both sound chips (L & R)
Cabinet = One sound chip through top speaker (L)
Other sound chip or Speech through lower speaker (switched under program control) (R)
The cabinet mode is how the original game works since it has one speaker above the screen and one below the screen.

1. CoCoSDC now operates at 7.16Mhz without errors.
2. CoCoSDC moved to slot 2. Here it only has 2 drives. They can be ss/ds 35/40/80 or superfloppies. Menu added to allow selection of slot 4 drives [4] while selected for slot 2- OS9 can use.
3. Added mouse to joystick support for the right mouse. Works with GSHELL.
4. Doc update.
Archie, Atari ST, Atari 800, Atari 5200, Apple II, Amstrad:
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, shadow mask, 64-phase filter, etc).
- Archie: fixes from Adam Hay.
- Atari 800: disable second pokey when mono audio is selected.
