Interesting! Was discussing the availability of a SuperRom image for NEC
just this past weekend on Discord with @Fezzler and I was wondering how
difficult it would be to convert.

Your description of the process is somewhat 'greek' to me so I'm guessing
that I'd need to level up a bit to be able to contribute any useful
assistance - though I'd be happy to help, if I can :)
