true, but the TI calcs don't have all the built in goodies that do handle
those things. That is the attraction, the processor doesn't have to do
everything.
You can make sound, true, and most of the neat tricks you see on the game
boy have been "faked" at some point in Asm games, but the added code slows
the overall program.
