There aren't very many romcc ninjas.

This is already putting some pressure on register allocation. Can you
help romcc by making dimm03 and dimm47 into char also? Consistently
using unsigned may also help.

Would it be possible to not store, and instead write out to registers
as soon as possible? This will also help romcc.
