FastROM? about smz3randomizer HOT 3 CLOSED

From my understanding, the way SMZ3 is currently coded doesn't work for making Z3 compatible with FastROM unfortunately. At least that's according to Total on the mainline SMZ3 discord.

I had a brief discussion with him about the new Z1M1Z3M3 project which is compatible with Z3 FastROM, and according to him a lot of the cross game stuff for that is done via SA-1. My best guess as to why the current SMZ3 is incompatible is due to how it manages some of the cross game code, but that's just a theory.

So it's probably doable, but would involve some rework.

Yeah, looking at transition.asm, they are indeed using a bunch of those banks already. Maybe we wait until Z1M1Z3M3 matures and then re-fork off that?

Yeah, that's sort of my gut feeling as well. We'll just need to port a lot of the stuff over, but it might not be a bad opportunity to re-organize and restructure a lot.
