However, there is no problem if I use the one from the World early version.
Until I know what to do with it, I use the MCU from the World early version

- The MCU is dumped and used, it is based on the real Taito MCU but with the
MCU's security features disabled, so must have been extracted by bootleggers.

- Displays the "Arkanoid" title.
- "HARDWARE TEST" message is written, tests are performed, countdown 11 to 0.

Until I know what to do with it, I use the MCU from the World early version.
- The MCU is not dumped, but the game runs with either the Taito or Pirate
version of the A75-06 MCU. It most likely really used the latter,
but the actual MCU used is unknown.
- This version is supposed to be a harder version :
* less lives (1 or 2 instead of 3 or 5)
