Unused Code Banks

There are two unused code blocks whose sole purpose appears to be displaying an image until the Start Button is pressed. These are identical to unused code banks in the prototype (after accounting for the difference in addressing). There is no known method to load these normally.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: What is "Amensys." and how do you run these non-hackingly?

In retail, this image is displayed by 00A1A50, loaded to 801B9670.

In the prototype, the same block of data is found at 00A3C10, loaded to 801926D0.

A different image using a grayscale palette. In retail, this image is displayed by 00A53F0, loaded to 801B9670 just like the code block above.

In the prototype, the same block of data is found at 00A75A0, also loaded to 801926D0.
