Tile Map

When enabled, the tile map allows for a set of 8x8 tiles to be drawn to the screen automatically every frame.

The tile map comes in 4 basic flavors:

12x16
16x12 (this size is is vertically unconfirmed)
24x8 (this may actually be 24x16, only time will tell)
24x16

There are also two Hardware Registers that control the shifting of these values, allow them to be scrolled across the screen. This makes for very nice effects, with very low performance hit.

The tile set used in this map consists of one base address (stored as a 24 bit Hardware Registers, 8 byte aligned) with 256 tiles in total. Tiles are 8 bytes in length, scanned in the same method as the Frame Buffer.
