Umm... you could just redirect the jump table only.
Here's why I don't use ION: squish.inc is HUGE compared to ion.inc.
As for the alteration problem... Since the shell would be forced to be 16k
long, I might as well add code to the shell to recognize games and patch
them accordingly. This would have to be done for games like Penguins, which
accesses the VAT directly (as the 83+ has a different format). CrASH was
1000 bytes and had excellent features - imagine what could be done with 8000
(4000-5FFF would be mostly taken by the massive jump table for 83 support.)
Another thing I plan on doing for the 83+ is cracking the digital signing.
TI is not going to use any sort of digital signing that prohibits
exportation of 83+'s...
How is it that ION has control over the flashrom? A ROM dump MUST exist for
someone to reverse THAT...
