Engage the galactic hyperdrive. Called from the hyp routine above if CTRL-H is being pressed. This routine also updates the galaxy seeds to point to the next galaxy. Using a galactic hyperdrive rotates each seed byte to the left, rolling each byte left within itself like this: 01234567 -> 12345670 to get the seeds for the next galaxy. So after 8 galactic jumps, the seeds roll round to those of the first galaxy again. We always arrive in a new galaxy at galactic coordinates (96, 96), and then find the nearest system and set that as our location.

If we have enough cash, subtract the price of a specified piece of equipment from our cash pot and return from the subroutine. If we don't have enough cash, exit to the docking bay (i.e. show the Status Mode screen).
Arguments: A The item number of the piece of equipment (0-11) as shown in the table at PRXS

This routine returns the price of equipment as listed in the table at PRXS.
Arguments: A The item number of the piece of equipment (0-13) as shown in the table at PRXS
Returns: (Y X) The item price in Cr * 10 (Y = high byte, X = low byte)
