Amstrad specific features
- cartridge generation
- snapshot v2 and snapshot v3 generation
- unlimited EDSK management (update,creation as much as we want at the same time)

Compatibility options
- MAXAM compatibility
- internal calculations are done with unsigned 16 bits integers
- comparison with single '='
- AS80 compatibility (partial)
- internal calculations are done with 32 bits integers
- reference of current outputed adress with DEFB is the directive and not the outputed byte
- little differences in macro declarations
This option was designed to compile the CNG player, not to support all the bugs of AS80
