History:

   Date: 13.01.2025 Version: 0.55

     + Bit 6 of port #FE is set when tape loader is fast. In some situations
       this can help if the program does not respond to key press.(ED).
     + Some fixed of volume envelope frequencies.
     + Temporarily disabled HardAY. Maybe in future versions it can be
       turned on/off.
     + Added a one of my games - SirKnight (1991) in ZXFiles directory..

   Date: 07.01.2025 Version: 0.54

     + Added full AY/YM sound chip emulation!
     + Saving the last path to config file.
     + Refactoring the block instructions emulation.
     + Fixed (not full) undocumented flags settings in block instructions.
     + EI instruction as prefix.
     + Update flash loader for .TAP files (TapeTest passed ok).
     + Added ID33 to TZX parser.
     + Set audio filter to off when start emulation.
     + Window coordinates resets to 0 when too large coordinate values, if
       earlier launch was in high resolution and saved config.(ED).
     + Some fix attribute port #FF (CastleEscape looks better).
     + Disabled attribute port #FF for Pentagon.
     + Added a one of my games - FiveteensClassic (2000) in ZXFiles directory.
     + And more minor fixes, updates and optimizations.
