PROLOGUE
========
ARCADIA is a demo designed to run on arcade hardware. "why?" you may be asking.
well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, thats basically it. I (Syntax)
have wanted to do something cool with emulated arcade hardware since I first
realised that it could be done. The result of many hours of hacking and reading
through datasheets, ARCADIA is hopefully just the start of many more hours of
hacking and reading datasheets :)
