[Rpcemu] RPCEmu pre release test version 0.8.101

Hi,

I tested a little bit the release.

What is great compared to the allegro based versions:

- full screen mode working perfectly

- opening menus does not cause sound to freeze

- no delay in sound (used to to be at least a second when pausing the sound in DigitalCD)

Wish list:

- Extension in the config file to specify rom name path for hosfs & .hdf files. This would make it easier to switch to different OS versions (different ROMs, !Boot and compatible applications).

- Possibility to access the other folders/discs of the host system without risk of modifying the file extension of the files (i.e. using mimemap like Win95FS or LanManFS). I make sense for documents to be readable on both sides without having constantly add and remove the ",xxx" filtype to the filename's extension.

Issues:

- ESC key not working

- when switching back to windowed mode the mouse on the RISC OS side cannot reach the top (I think it only occurs if the RISC OS resolution is not the same on exit of full-screen mode qs on entry),

- sound is easely interrupted by disk accesses.

My setup:
