I've released version 0.2.0 of olafnes, my Nintendo Entertainment System emulator, finally. This release is an absolute restart of the olafnes project. This release is based on basicnes v1.5 [debug level 1], previous releases of olafnes were based on v1.5 [debug level 2]. Below are the changes in this version from the BASE up.
