 - Enhanced SMPS2ASM to ignore S3-specific smpsFade
 - Reverted bugged optimisations to PSG volume envelopes (fixes VVZ2)
 - Added support for negative track pointers, fixing SFX CC (holy cow, another one I haven't noticed since v2.0)

+= v2.6 =
+- New DPCM tables were ported from SMPS-Treasure, speeding up DPCM loop (unlike SMPS-Treasure, these tables are generated by the DAC driver during initialisation, so they don't waste ROM like the volume table)
+- Made Spin Dash toggleable, so its code isn't assembled if you're not using it
+- Fixed bug during song initialisation that caused the last two sound queues to be accidentally cleared
+- Ported S2's version of Sound_Play (zCycleQueue)
+- Music/SFX/SpecSFX data has been merged into 'metadata tables', simplifying their addition or modification (for example, the music metadata table contains the music's pointer, speed-shoes tempo, and playback flags)
+- Restored compatibility with official (flamewing's) SMPS2ASM
+- All tracks use zTrack.VoicePtr now (saves some RAM)
+- Overall RAM cleanup
+- Some Z80 access was made 'safe' (interrupt can't interrupt Z80 bus request, and accidentally deassert it)
+- Fixed OOZ oil slide SFX (was updating FM volume on a PSG channel)
+- Added check to prevent above bug from having any negative effects, just like S2's driver
+- A branch is available that uses the stock v1.1 MegaPCM
