 The NES screen mode is made up of 8x8-pixel tiles, with 32 tiles (256 pixels)
 across the screen, and either 30 tiles (240 pixels) or 28 tiles (224 pixels)
 vertically, for PAL or NTSC.

 This lookup table converts a pixel y-coordinate into the number of the first
 tile on the row containing the pixel. Pixel coordinate (0, 0) is mapped to the
 top-left pixel of the third row of tiles in the nametable, and the first
 column of tiles is at column 1 rather than 0 (as the screen is scrolled
 horizontally by 8 pixels via PPU_SCROLL), so pixel y-coordinates 0 to 7 are
 mapped to tile 65 (i.e. 2 * 32 + 1), pixel y-coordinates 8 to 15 are mapped to
 tile 97 (i.e. 3 * 32 + 1), and so on.
