CoPaCabana 0.4 - Alpha version

CoPaCabana is a new Amstrad CPC emulator.
CoPaCabana for Windows is freeware. You can distribute it freely as long as you distribute the original package unmodified.
CoPaCabana for Windows is provided AS IS without any warranty of any kind. There is no official support though this is work in progress and thus will evolve in the future.

This release is provided as an Alpha version. Please report problems to <mailto:regis.nicolas@easyconnect.fr>

This package provides 2 versions of the emulator:
- A Release version for gamers.
- A Debug version for developers or emulator developers. It provides a powerful debugging console. Type HELP in the console as a starting point. F5 to run.

Joystick support: Pressing F11 key toggles between Joystick mode and Keyboard mode. In Joystick mode, Space is Fire, 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'A' are joystick directions. This will probably change in the future.

We are working on versions for different OSes, including MacOS and PalmOS. This is NOT a commitment but simply an information.

VERSION 0.1
-----------
First public version released.

VERSION 0.2
-----------
Keyboard Handling fixed.
Better CRTC Emulation.
Better Monitor emulation (Real size now. Use the undocumented F8 and F9 to slide it Left/Right).
Support for 2 drives (A and B). HotSwapping. This is VERY useful for 2 sided games or demo. Load side A (F5) in drive A and side B (F6) in drive B. When asked to turn the disk, just press F7 to swap A and B...
Better "Real speed" emulation.
A couple new Z80 instructions emulated.
Z80 Instruction timings improved.
Added Menu options and accelerators.

VERSION 0.3
-----------
Better CRTC Emulation - More demos are (quite) working
Added some more Z80 instructions (I am adding them on an as-needed basis)
Added support for empty disk tracks
Fixed keyboard ',','<','>' keys
Fixed miscellaneous bugs

VERSION 0.4
-----------
Cycle-accurate CRTC emulation. This is a new, complete rewrite of CRTC (with Z80 changes to add cycles during instructions (OUT)). A menu entry allows to select which one to use: the old one (faster) or the new one (better but slower). 
  This new version enables raster split. Many demos (including Rebellion.dsk) are working closer to how they do on a real CPC now!!!
Reworked the menu hierarchy. Added several options.
Fixed miscellaneous bugs
