The last expected hardware change has been made: stereo! And, when you give a mouse a cookie...

  • Basic controller support has been added. @AdmiralPotato tricked me into doing it (by asking very nicely for it).
  • Stereo mixing. APU voices may now be panned center/left/right/"boosted". Believe it or not, the ability to boost triangle waves was the killer app for this feature, not the stereo mixing per se...
  • The sound code no longer requires SDL 2.0.4 or later. ARS-emu will now work back as far as 2.0.2. The change comes with a new, super spiffy automatic clock skew compensator.
  • Specific support for headphones, quadraphonic sound, and 3.1/4.0/5.1/7.1 surround sound has been added. The quadraphonic and surround modes are untested.
  • The Audio submenu of the configuration screen is now functional. (Next stop, video!)
  • ROMs that embed SimpleConfig may now use it to configure the emulator without requiring that pesky -C option. (-C is still required to run nonstandard configuration code, though, just to be properly paranoid.)
