The debug loop that reads a command and does something is part of the
frontend's main loop, so that it can potentially update, even though
it doesn't actually work for minifb because the command input is a
blocking call. It's also not implemented in the pixels frontend.
At some point I'll make a web frontend.
Now it's up to 99% tests passing, 15362 are still failing, but many
of those are the unimplemented IN/OUT instructions, which the Genesis
doesn't seem to use

Also added some fixes to the Z80 for panicking math operations, but
it still won't complete due to an unimplemented instruction
It now actually checks the clock and tries to mix the audio in sync
relative to the clock, but the cpal output doesn't yet try to sync
to the StreamInstant time. Sound seems a lot better on chrome in
wasm, but and kind of better on firefox despite frame skipping not
being supported yet, but it's way slower for some reason (12fps)
It now sort of sounds like the main instrument, but the drums and bass
aren't there, and I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure the envelope and
phase generators are working, and there is feedback although it might
not be correct. There's no LFO but that isn't used by Sonic 1 from
the register writes at least.
It was previously only updating the frequency if the A0 registers
were written last, but now it works the way the rate code does, using
the cached register values to set the frequency whenever a register
is written to. It also stores the fnumber and block in the operator
which I guess would be needed eventually if I want to save and restore
state.
- The envelope generator wasn't working as it should have, minor issues
with the limits and whether to use 10-bit or 12-bit values (more to come)
- fixed issues with sustain level where it was always set to 0
- fixed release rate and levels to make them 5-bit and 10-bit numbers
respectively, so they match the others
- switched from SineWave to SquareWave and this alone made it go from
terrible and muddy to not that far off. I probably need to completely
change the output
- also included an attempt at removing HostData, still needed for an
interrupt that is triggered by user input
It does something, but doesn't work as it should. It could be a few
things including the on/off signal being too slow due to how time
works in the sample generation, but I wanted to at least commit what
I have. It seems to work roughly right according to the forum post
that describes the chip's operation in detail, but there could still
be some glaring bugs
