HalfNES v0.57 Changelog:

-PPU is now pixel accurate. Meaning that many glitchy games are now completely fixed. However it also means that performance is worse. -MMC3 and MMC5 scanline counters have been rewritten to be more accurate. Fixed games: -Marble Madness -Laser Invasion -Mickey's Adventures in Letterland -Rad Racer -Slalom -Tiny Toon Adventures (the status bar was off by one scan line before) -Mega Man 3 (displays same glitchy lines as real hardware) -Every Namco 163 game (scanline counter was broken) Also passes several more of blargg's PPU and MMC3 tests. I haven't fixed all of the MMC3 based multicart mappers yet.
