fixed almost everything in space invaders so i can release it soon, only problem left to tackle is that right before the alien is supposed to come out and reverse the upside down y, it crashes from an overflow in the memory, i know where its crashing but as of now not sure why its crashing exactly.

at the point where it gets to the section that causes the crash, the H register pair is already to big and not sure exactly why, if anyone is familiar with space invaders pretty well and may have an idea, i would really appreciate it ^_^.

edit: apparently the memory buffer for space invaders needs to be 0x41B9 bytes instead of 0x4000 bytes for it to get past the crash and to work correctly.
