Almost have the #MegaDuck Printer working.

Reverse engineering the protocol apparently being easier than getting the hardware timing right. Not sure how much buffering there is. And not able to easily snoop the signals to get a reference.

The dithering is intentional since this is the 1-pass mono color model, so the 4 shades of grey have to be reduced when printing.

Added a #MegaDuck Laptop RTC read and write example for GBDK

This is in addition to the Laptop Keyboard example

They can both run in the #SuperJuniorSameDuck fork of the SameBoy emulator

Took finishing pass at the #MegaDuck laptop keyboard emulation to add almost all remaining keys, modifiers and features.

Piano app works now that there's hardware key repeat and the Piano keys (using Ctrl as a modifier).

More progress on adding #MegaDuck laptop emulation tonight (in a fork of #SameBoy).

Now have partial RTC read and write working, so it's possible to run the Clock, Calendar and Agenda apps built into the System ROM.

The fork also has it's own name now: "Super Junior SameDuck". This keeps it distinct from LIJI's original version of SameDuck.
