So...

For basic programs that don't use libraries, an asm hook might work. For full asm programs, it's almost impossible.EDIT: Is the CPU speed still unknown?
I don't think this thing has 153kB video ram (320*240*2 for 16 bit color). The images show that only a section of the screen can be used for full color graphics. I'm not sure if this is just a mode.
