The initial commit was using the int data type all over the place for the various registers and memory etc. I initially chose this because of some of the reading I did with .NET in my F# Chip-8 Interpreter... because, a byte data type there was going to be converted to either a 32 or 64 bit int behind the scenes because the processors are heavily optimized for those operations anyway. So, I figured? Just do that!
But, that gets ropey when I hit some of the C8 instructions like ADD... when adding two values together it has to roll over when the value is too high, right?
That's when I learned a little more about bytes: Is there a 'byte' data type in C++?: as it turns out I should probably be using an unsigned char value. Which, is what raylib is returning from the LoadFileData() function (makes sense now!).
Just a note - I'm using unsigned short in places... But, really, it should be a uint16_t.
