Upstart my ass. Go look at 82 assembly language. Joe's sprite routine
absolutely blew compared to me and CrASH_Man's sprite routine... Also,
since when has Joe made a display routine about twice as fast as the ROM's
display routine?
He may have a good reason, but just because he thinks it's a fatal problem
doesn't mean it's impossible.
Given the chance, I could write a much better shell than Ion. Since Joe is
being a prick by not telling anyone anything about the 83+, he has an
effective monopoly on it...
