I know everyone HATES hearing it (I know this because whenever I mention
libraries I'm treated like a leper) but it could be done with a library.
The ROM calls we haven't already found would be rewritten until they were. 
There would probably be a need for some rom patching program but that
wouldn't be too hard to write.

Once again I expect no replies.
