It will work on some games, though not the most complex ones. All those
who use RAM memory at the end of the user memory, any interrupt stuff,
external variables and also romcalls that TI hasn't released info
about yet (M_CHARPUT for example). Also, in my programs, I don't use
the alias TEXT_MEM for temporary variables, so you would manually have
to change $80DF to the corresponding address for the 86. There are more
stuff to fix as well.
