Update 08.28.08

I think we finally got it. I made some final tweaks to Don's code and it seems to be working great. Don is going to test it hopefully tonight.
While I was waiting for Don to finish I added a few things to the emulator. The emulator now knows when the game is or isn't running (attract mode or playing a game.) This may sound trivial but it's not Since we emulate the hardware we don't really know what the software is doing sometimes (ok, a lot of the time ) This is useful for the jukebox feature which now shuts off when you start a game and then resumes after a user specified time while in attract mode. In other words when you finish a game you can tell nucore how many second until the jukebox starts. It does a cool volume swell from 0 to the volume it was before you started playing.
We're really getting down the the small details as far as software goes, and there's lot of them Good news is we'll have some really cool things to show at expo and no bugs.
