Emulator Update

Ootake v2.66 [PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16] (WINDOWS)

Changelog:

- The shortcut keys was added. [Alt]+[1-4]...The size of the window is
switched when playing a game. * If the window size of x4 or x3 is set, the
power of PC is necessary to some degree.
- The shortcut keys was added. [Alt]+[Enter]...Full screen and the window
mode change.(same [F12])
- Some volume balances when playing a CD-Game have been adjusted. I think
that the tone quality of the CD-DA sound improved, too.
- When "PC Engine Mouse" is connected ("Input->Mouse" menu), it corresponded
to operation with "Multi-Tap" ("Input->Multi-Tap" menu).
If "Multi-Tap" menu is turned on, it becomes the following.
[1P connecter]...Mouse, [2P connecter]...#1Joypad
As a result, in the shooting game of "Tokimeki Memorial", it is possible
to play comfortably.
- The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine.
In the stage 3 of "The Kung-Fu (China Warrior)", the problem that the
raster scroll occasionally flickered was solved.
- With the setting of "CPU->Perform SpriteLimit" menu, the bug that had not
occasionally functioned correctly (generated from v2.63) was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The
operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file
about details and notes, etc.
