Not quite that! I don't point to the zero page, 'coz I do NOT set the $FF12 register to read from RAM area! In theory it still reads from ROM! But, there's no underlying ROM area there for values <=0x80.

Besides I think the 'scrolling' effect is there as well when I disable the ROM (although that needs to be checked).

Yes, that's true if the data is >=0x80...
