I've been wondering how to do this for a while. What would be a good way to do it for any language? I was thinking it could be done with a "screen" that is too large (One sprite too large in the X and Y coordinates) and then drawing the screen but draw on those positions too. Then to display, you only display the the middle portion of the screen. Any other methods?

That's a very common method. Another is to do the same conceptual cropping but with a clipping putSprite routine, requiring you to only have a 768-byte (96x64 pixel) buffer but probably going a bit more slowly due to the clipping overhead.
