Various changes to the sound engine:

Added PAL/SECAM machines accurate base clock for PSG wave generation (pitch is around 1% off from NTSC machines).
Added VGM logging. VGM (for Video Game Music) is a new file format recently developed on S8-Dev with collaboration of Dave, Maxim and some other people. Maxim has wrote a WinAMP plugin already. Check out the newly created Music Section on SMS Power at http://www.smspower.org/music !
Added PSG registers to the technical information window.
Fixed a very weird bug introduced in version 0.58, where a certain sprite configuration and positionning could screws up the whole emulator! This caused problems in Terminator 2: The Judgment Day and Ghouls'n Ghosts.
Added Korean mapper (9) emulation, as used by Dodgeball King.
Added Italian messages translations (by Andrea Ballandino).
Added German messages translations (by Tilman Hesse).
Fixed some Portuguˆs messages.
