+Investigation by Eke:
+this dump has the PC pointing to $1FE1DE, which does not hold any valid 68k program data in the ROM, 
+so the game actually does not even starts when the 68k resets => either the dump is incomplete or it 
+is a bad dump, there is no way bankswitching can be "triggered" before the CPU has reseted and 
+fetches the PC, only possibility would be that this ROM area is only activated if some signal conditions 
+is met (I know that some pirate carts will need to have the !RESET lines set HIGH like with the real console, 
+which most dumpers ignore)
+This dump is either a bad dump or a wrongly patched one.
