New features: - Auto-download missing OS/BASIC ROMs from the Internet - Mount zipped disk images directly from the Internet - Portable mode — config file and data storage next to the executable Platform specific: - Windows: 32/64-bit builds, installer executable, portable zip archive - Windows: app icon, MP3 recording support - Windows: win32-no-network build for XP compatibility - macOS: ready-to-run .dmg archive - Linux: AppImage builds (x86_64 + i386) - Android: auto-download ROMs, upgrade dialog Changes to config file search order: 1. --config argument — exact path given on command line 2. Portable exe dir — exe_dir/.atari800.cfg if exe dir is writable 3. $HOME default — ~/.atari800.cfg (if neither of the above applies) plus $HOME now respects MS Windows specifics (USERPROFILE etc.) If the resolved path (1, 2, or 3) doesn't exist: 4. HOME fallback — try ~/.atari800.cfg (only in portable mode) 5. System-wide — /etc/atari800.cfg (only if steps 1-4 all failed) 6. Fresh defaults — create new config at the path from step 1/2/3
