HalfNES v0.032

EmuCR: HalfNESHalfNES v0.032 is released. HalfNES is an open-source emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System, written in Java. Currently, it only runs as a standalone Java SE application.

Current Features:
- Supports Mapper 0,1,2,3 games
- SRAM saving works now
- Accurate sound core
- Cross-platform portable

HalfNES v0.032 Changelog:
The most notable improvement is the audio. I'm compiling 2 versions this time - one uses a linear audio filter and the other uses point samples. The linear audio filter makes the whole code run about twice as slow (Java is really not very good at doing anything 2 million times a second), but it sounds SO much better I couldn't throw it out for performance reasons. However, it's still a bit buggy and completely breaks VRC6 audio for some reason.
Also, added option for changing audio sample rate to the options dialog, tweaked the volumes of all the audio channels to be more balanced with each other, and probably cleaned up some things since last release that I've forgotten about now.
