It's just saying "If you want to install a copper interrupt routine instead, change INTB_VERTB to INTB_COPER here". So yes, it is installing a vblank handler.

Seems like escape (which quitting fakes) actually enters the currently selected menu. After SHOULDQUIT is true it keeps "faking" escape presses, which might not have been a good idea.

Been a while since I looked at the code, but IIRC the dependency on custom chips is purely the "fire" effect on the menu. Should be easy enough to remove.
