The existing disk image was replaced by a new one created from the
master disk.
dsk_dsk: Increase maximum cell count
This allows for slightly out of spec disk images to run, like Theatre

new Software List entries
ekara_japan_sp.xml: sp02 (SP-02) [Sean Riddle, David Haywood] (need to establish full title)
also split the ekara software list up a bit so they're easier / more logical as different carts are meant for different devices; the popira unit can use the 'GC' carts for example.
Dance Dance Revolution Family Mat and Popira are actually playable, but until I fix the timers in the driver the music is half speed like the e-kara stuff, and because these are music games, they're being eft as NOT WORKING until I sort that out.

details of some of them to be filled in once I have cart scans, and in some cases a translation. the e-kara web thing is probably useless these days as it was meant to work with PC software (there's an MCU + USB interface in the unit) to transfer downloaded songs etc. from a specific service into the cartridge for use on the system, and like many of these online services from 15+ years ago, the listed site no longer resolves.
