Version 0.7 (beta) - May 3, 2021
================================

Even though this release is called "beta" it is **super stable and should play 99% (or more) of all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games**, given that the cartridge ROM size of the game is **up to 1 MB** (on a MEGA65 R3 machine, otherwise up to 256 kB).

### What is new?

* Much better compatibility (games and demos) due to support for more MBCs
* Cartridge RAM support added
* Option menu works
* Joystick: Have a look at the [mapping options](https://github.com/sy2002/gbc4mega65/blob/V0.7/README.md#joystick-usage-and-mapping) to learn how to use it in games that use buttons to jump
* LCD Emulation: Option to perform [color grading](https://github.com/sy2002/gbc4mega65/blob/V0.7/README.md#color-modes) for a more realistic look
* Ability to browse larger folders
* Fixed flickering/missing content of rightmost and bottom scanline
* Improved SD card robustness

### Why is the release still called "beta"?

* No HDMI: Video/audio output is still VGA and 3.5mm audio jack
* No HyperRAM: Cannot play games that have ROMs larger than 1 MB (MEGA65 R3 machine) or 256 kB (MEGA65 R2 machine)
* Only supports MEGA65's bottom SD card slot, the rear slot is ignored
* Flickering in rare situations due to no double bufffering, no frame blending
* No savegames (i.e. no battery buffered cartrige RAM)

Version 0.6 (alpha) - March 23, 2021
