I dont think I'll be using the same exact array storage method as the original so the recreation of the bug will be intentional rather than a real bug. So I think I'll use an event timer kinda deal instead.

Wow thanks for the offer but I think I'll just rip em from the rom. Only trouble I'm having is with sound/music, not sure how to rip those from the rom but there are some free fan made midis around... I think.
