WinVICE r45633 is released. WinVICE is a program that executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128, the VIC20, all the PET models (except the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line anyway), the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).

WinVICE Changelog:

Re-fix access to empty memory space.
Now that I finally get why this almost always results in the high byte of the address, make sure that access to $9xxx, $Axxx and $Bxxx goes via read_unused() when no ROM is in the socket; this should take care of the exceptions. Previously there would be a ROM pre-filled with the empty value.
Also: a memory map reset would turn off watchpoints. Keep the watchpoints active in that case.

fix CPU port emulation for SX64. On the SX64 board, bits 3,4,5 of the CPU port are not connected, and thus read back as 0. We still need to disable anything tape related when SX64 (and perhaps C64GS?) is selected.

Joystick: DirectInput: fix POV direction handling
Take low WORD of POV values before checking for -1/0xffff. Neutral is reported
as 0xffff, not 0xffffffff as I thought.

Joystick: update Linux driver

before handling events in poll().
