I've been doing more Agon dev, bringing parity on my repo with the Neo6502 and Commander X16 repo's.

I've got sprites and bitmaps working and it's given me an idea about a neat little 8bit pixel zombie game.

Don't want to include Kernel symbols in your debugging sessions? In your project.json use 'romBankSymbols' with a space to override the default.

For example, this will stop loading the demo symbols:
"romBankSymbols" : ["", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", " "]

Someone should port this to the Neo6502 and the Commander X16.

That someone won't be me because I've bitten off more than I can chew with Pac-Man on the eZ80 powered Agon!

65Cxx CPU switcher for OtterX and X16 (should also work on anything that can take either a 65C02 or 65C816 CPU) appears to be passing all tests thrown at it. Also fixes an issue in the X16 PCB which allows for this combination of 65C816 + Cartridge + 10MHz overclock. #OtterX #CommanderX16
