while true do
joypad.set("Up", true)

local result = {}
for index, value in pairs(buttons) do
table.insert(result, index .. ": " .. tostring(value))

For some bizarre reason, after a while, the ordering of the buttons goes from stable to chaotic, making it impossible to read the buttons pressed. adelikat says not to worry about this because order is meaningless in Lua. Still, this is very curious...
TODO: Set using a ClickyVirtualPadController and Global.StickyXORAdapter.SetSticky(Controller + " Up", false)...whatever that means.
-No info on the control bytes, so I'm not dealing with them right now.
-It seems like there's an extra byte for at the beginning of input for NES that doesn't exist for PCE.
--I think it might be the "1 byte for power-on and reset" that the docs refer to, though I'm not sure why this would exist for NES and not PCE...because NES supports control commands and PCE doesn't?
--Perhaps this will become more apparent if I write the importers for SMS, GG, GB, and GBA. I'll need access to a Linux machine to do these, though.
--FDS commands in ImportFMV.
--Bad ROM checksums in ImportText. TaoTao: There's nothing wrong with using warningMsg; it just is limited to showing the first warning message that occurs.
-ImportNMV
--Nintendulator's Four Score recording is seemingly broken.
TODO: ImportMCM clean-up / expansion, Intellivision research.
-Finished ImportVMV:
--I'm not sure what the following comment means: "For the other control bytes, if a key from 1P to 4P (whichever one) is entirely ON, the following 4 bytes becomes the controller data." I'm going to assume this is a bad translation that is the equivalent of my 4 controllers = 4 bytes comment.
--Nesmock has a block of code that seems to handle, or at least account for, commands (Lines 207 - 239 of virtuanes.hh). I don't do anything about this, but it doesn't seem like Nesmock does much of anything about it either. I'll ignore this for now.
TODO: ImportNMV, clean up ImportMCM, and perhaps support other platforms for .MCM, although everyone thinks it's a waste...I like writing importers! I'm afraid of writing cores!
