unknown behaviors: (1)The TMA instruction transfers the contents of an MPR register to the accumulator. Bits 7 to 0 in the operand specify which MPR register to read from, bit 7 is MPR #7 and bit 0 is MPR #0. If multiple bits are set in the operand to TMA, the values are combined together and returned. Is the combination logic OR, XOR, or AND? Note that games are unlikely to use this behavior and thus be impacted by this. A test rom is needed.
