Totally unrelated, but why did you introduce a spelling error in the quote?
Because I hit the quote button for only Dwedit's post, and I figured it was faster to just type in what Ben said instead of copy-pasting.

TI83 has a faster Z80 than the SMS... Which means nothing since the SMS has hardware accellerated sprites and smooth scrolling And by comparison, the TI-83 has hardware graphics de celeration.

It's because your implementation is just plain flat-out wrong.

Interpret data in a variety of ways (byte, word, dword, char, float, signed, unsigned, etc). Allows you to have up to two windows to see different or overlapping parts ...

Nah, mine runs thourgh the array checking every possible key swaps them into proper place. Since there aren't many keys (there is only a max 255) it's more efficient if the array is quite large, so I guess its more like n*k. Same general idea I had, only I wanted to win the prize for "Most Gro...

It looks as if PTI "powers on" the TI-83 Plus at PC = $0000, correct? I believe the real behavior is PC = $8000, Map mode 1, with $1F in slot 2. Not that that explains away how it's executing code on RAM 0.
