Improved keyboard overlays - added alphanumeric keyboard with text-adventure macros.
Improved memory handling - using more memory but in an efficient way for the new features.
Improved sound handling - new SIO sounds, new opening jingle.
Improved CPU handling to fix one more Acid800 test (25 pass now).
Fixed keyboard handling so games like Scorch will register keypresses (broken as of V3.0).
