It's over nine hundred! Wait, I'm off by an order of magnitude.

The disc read speed emulation for GC Loader has finally been completed. This is known to fix a race condition in Tales of Symphonia preventing progress past Palmacosta. Note that NKit images will have a lower simulated read speed than full images.

You can now set a game to be loaded at startup. This require a configuration device.

NKit images are now checked against an internal database, and the nag has been removed for discs not in Redump.

Swiss v0.5r876

This release fixes performance regressions introduced in v0.5r870, particularly when streaming audio is playing, and fixes a cause of high interrupt latency with SD Card Adapters.

Soulcalibur II is an example of a game sensitive to interrupt latency, where the graphics processor can easily crash.

• Don't force video mode if video mode is unavailable.
• Move start block token to ISR.
• Reinstate partial read buffer.
• Omit lock for non-disc reads.
• Bundle boot.iso for GCLoader.
• Optimize streaming audio decoding.
• Less hacky kickstart for ISR.
