Yeah, all the rom calls are different on the 82 (and the 85).  The 82
has the added problem of the LCD being a different size, and using a
driver instead of a memory map.  Also, I think the ports on the 82 may
correspond to different things than they do on the 86 (not sure
though).  You can get around these problems to varying degrees, so I'd
say the 82 emulation in ASE simply isn't as refined as the 85 emulation.
