This game freezes on a white screen after showing colored text.

Game uses the homebrew MegaCart mapper, and appears to be properly setting up paging.

    Short-lived bug is short-lived. Fixed in r268.

    The bug was that I wasn't recognizing 0xFFC0 as a valid address to cause page 0 to be swapped back in. Mind you, per the recommendations of the specs, 0xFFC0 shouldn't be used in this particular game (it should be using 0xFFF8, as the game uses 8 pages of rom space), but that's neither here nor there -- 0xFFC0 is still valid for doing so. Anyhow, that's fixed now.
