Holy shit, it's perfect! And all I did was change like 20 characters! It really strikes me that all Christian Hackbart had to do back in 2000 was do 5 lines of fixes and he would have had a near perfect Gameboy emulator on his hands. Also let me just say that it's super impressive that not only does near 20-year-old code work unmodified on Windows 10, but also that it's compiled by a totally different compiler and totally rewritten GUI toolkit, almost with zero changes. My hat is off to the FreePascal folks.

Now that I'm done heroically fixing this emulator with my insane hacking skills, I'm off to work on the actual tracker now.
