The big brother of our previously released expansion card. The RAMGS-MAX will expand the memory of the apple IIgs to the maximum allowed of 8MB.
The apple IIgs is the most advanced computer in the Apple II series. Equipped with a 65c816 8/16-bit CPU with 24-bit address space it could address up to 16MB of memory. The original rom 01 model shipped with 256KB of fast RAM, the revised rom 3 shipped with 1MB (both had an additional 128KB of standard RAM and 64KB of sound RAM). RAMGS is a newly designed 4MB expansion card for this great classic computer.
This patch resolves a video quality bug in PCSX (and derivatives) and since it is a complete rewrite of the mdec.c file it also allow PCSX to be completely licensed under the GPL.
The rewrite is based on an implementation of the AAN (Y. Arai, T. Agui, and M. Nakajima) IDCT algorithm plus some optimizations based on extra information on the coefficient matrices provided by the RLE decoder.
