I thought we had figured that you wouldn't have the cycles to write six
playfield registers and one color... you'd have to drop the characters to
40 pixels wide to include a COLUP0 rewrite...?

Make sure your code can handle reversed players... setting REFPx isn't
enough, you have to write the bytes not in 1 2 3 4 5 6 order, but 6 5 4 3 2
1. You might need two copies of the display kernel...?
