- Realfun 3 replayer.
- Re-Play replayer (from Grauw).
- Voice synthesis on the ISR replayer (from ARTRAG).
- Moonblaster replayer.
- Lovely Composer replayer.
- ADX replayer.
- KSS replayer.
- MGSP2 replayer.
- MML replayer.
- NDP replayer.

- Add support for new chip:
- Yamaha V9990 graphic chip. ⏳WIP (~90% of the features currently supported)
- MoonSound (OPL4) audio chip.
- Add support for SRAM cartridge:
- Game Master 2. ⏳
- Add module to handle 3D transformation and rendering

- Generate RCP file.
- Optimize, optimize and optimize!
- Rewrite update function in assembler for game_pawn and scroll modules.
- Create optional fast copy/fill/read functions using unrolled outi/ini for vdp module (for supported screen mode).
- Add assembler optimization option to the Build tool (using SDCC peep-hole and/or MDL).
- Continue to set the __preserves_regs directive for all remaining assembly functions to help the compiler optimize register usage. (already done for VDP and V9990 modules)
- Add fast multiplication function ([3])
