DFS was an add-on to the original hardware and isn't really useful with
the bot. Loading it by default raises PAGE by 2816 bytes. Even in the
best case of MODE7 and rocket mode, that's a 10% reduction in the
available RAM to BBC BASIC. In MODE2 and with the GXR loaded it's a
whopping 35% reduction.
Support enabling DFS via an emoji, which is probably only really useful
as a way to allow easily running programs written for older versions of
the bot which assume the value of PAGE or the screen contents.

* 🖬 or 💾 loads the DFS ROM. By default the bot doesn't do this - DFS was an add-on to the original hardware and isn't very useful with the bot. This is mostly provided as a way to allow easily running programs written for older versions of the bot which always loaded the DFS ROM. |

### Unexpected behavior with 🎬 mode animations

We use the beebjit `-fast` parameter to achive very fast emulation in the accelerated modes, the only downside being some unexpected 'relativistic' effects if your code relies on external timers. In this mode CPU time is accelerated several thousandfold and decoupled from timing of BBC Micro peripherals and timers which remain emulated in real-time. This means flashing colours in the palette, and `*FX 19` or `INKEY` based timing will not work well!
