Structure by light processes

Mednafen uses light Processus S in a way simple, put aside the light processes created by the SDL for the stop watches and the sound. It manages video redimensioning and the posting of sprites on the video peripheral in a filament, and the true emulation of the system and the exit of the sound in another filament. This configuration is slightly advantageous, according to the adjustments of the user, by using systems SMP. It also simplifies the architecture of the program in the direction where the emulation and the exit of the sound can easily continue in an uninterrupted way even if an operation of posting takes a too long time, as it is the case when posting is synchronized with the Vertical blank.
