possible?, yes... worthwhile?, maybe...
All you would have to do is translate all the commands ie:
sin,cos,^2,^-1,ln,log, into their rom eqiv, usin OP's. Then you would
have to make some For loop eq's and some If staement deals.. It wouldn't
be TOO hard, I don't think, but I don't know if the demand is really
there. Games would not work nicely due to delays implemented, and they
wouldn't be worth it, because you can make games 100xs better in ASM
anyway. Also you wouldn't be able to change the programs easily
anymore.,. so i guess it'd be a personal thing..
BTW, I have a pipedream game almost done. It's pretty cool.
