    “SDCC is the compiler I'm using for the ROMs and it's full of miscompiles and performance issues, so I'm running a patched build with everything I know about fixed, because I kept running into stupid issues while making the aforementioned ROMS (downloaded the whooole issue tracker and even fuzzed it a bit).”
