However, would it be possible to

special features in MM to JSW's
rooms?

As no doubt you've realised, it's a lot easier to
make the special features general in MM (where all the
code to implement them already exists) than to do it
in JSW (where it doesn't).
The way to do it
would be to change the
room format; so instead of
having 256 rooms
each 256 bytes long, have 128 rooms
each 512
bytes long, or 64 rooms each 1k in size.
Doing
that would mean quite large changes to the
rest of
the engine, though - all the room
decode logic
would have to be shifted about.
