Cooked Meat: The Crystal of Kings (2001) v1.0 - MiSTer FPGA Core Release

Updates to beta core from hardware evidence:

• Revised CPU pacing. The CPU uses three-cycle instruction budget, while video, sound and timers retain their own timing.

• Hardware-timed rendering. Drawing takes real processing time and waits for memory transfers. Rendering load influences when work finishes, going beyond MAME’s simplified per-packet timing model.

• Cleaner palette handling. We removed MAME’s workaround that artificially adds a blue bit to certain palette colours. Affected near-black and transparency-adjacent pixels keep their normal converted colour.

• Improved audio stability. A fault in our earlier MiSTer audio handoff could distort loud passages. That has been corrected, no underruns or faults in audio.

• Expanded CRT controls. As you see above.
