Yes, this was done a couple years ago by Luc Bruant, but he hasn't
worked on it recently, as far as I know.

I'll have to try this out.

One thing you should be aware of is that I'm planning to merge the
84+CSE branch soon (*); that branch includes some changes in the
tilemcore API in order to deal with the color screen.  There are still
some issues with the 84+CSE itself, but the API is stable and other
calc models are working.  I'd encourage you to switch over if you
haven't already.

Of course let me know if you have any questions or problems.

(*) "Soon" being of course a relative term, as I haven't been giving
tilem the attention it deserves recently. :)  Seriously though, I'd
like to get this done in the next few weeks and make an official
release already.
