When you have the rom dump, the shell is almost finished :-) The hard part
(i guess) i getting the rom dump. You have to change the backup file
with raw asm code (opcodes).


And ZShell and Fargo exists to START the asm program. To run them are no
problem, if you just can start them. They also makes it possible to run
the same program at different ROM versions, since many rom calls are
located at different places in the ROM.
