This means you'll get an unskippable red warning for systems that have
unimplemented sound or graphics that are otherwise marked working. This
also applies to subdevices, so for example plugging a non-working video
card or sound card into a computer driver will now cause a red warning.
This should make it clearer when a game is playable but missing sound,
or when a video or sound card doesn't work.
The downside is that this could cause annoyance in a couple of
situations. Workstations/servers with unemulated video that have
working serial terminals and networking will now cause a red warning,
and terminals/keyboards/etc. with missing beepers, key click, etc. will
now cause a red warning even if they're otherwise usable.
It may be worth making unimplemented controls and keyboard a severe
error as well, since plugging in a non-working emulated keyboard is
likely to make a system unusable.
The option is called skip_warnings, and it must be set in ui.ini (it can
be set using the internal UI). Red warnings cannot be skipped; yellow
warning can be skipped under certain circumstances.
For a yellow warning to be skipped, the system must have been launched
in a way that allows warnings to be displayed, in a configuration with
the same set of devices flagged with unemulated/imperfect features,
within the last seven days, and the warning must have been displayed
within the past 14 days.
Also fixed a bug with display of the MACHINE_NO_COCKTAIL flag in the
internal UI, and increased the size of XML integer attributes to 64
bits.

- Add support for the "Delta" key
The "Delta" key on the VG5000µ keyboard is wired to directly assert the NMI line of the Z80. The handler for the NMI in the BASIC ROM checks if the CTRL key is also depressed and then causes a soft reset.
This routine can be hooked to produce other effects than soft reset.
- Add wavfile support for reading/writing tapes, for more accuracy. The currently supported K7 file type misses timing data.
- VG5000µ adds a wait cycle after the second T state of the M1 cycle of the Z80. Because it was not emulated, the timings were off, especially in the sensible cassette read/write routines.
- With wavfile support added and timings fixed, the emulation can now read/write cassette at 1200 and 2400 bauds.
- Still keeping the MACHINE_NOT_WORKING flag, as real hardware tests need to be complete.
