Anti-Piracy

Like many games published by Taito, this game includes an SRAM check. The game normally does not contain SRAM, but still attempts to check for it by writing a value at $3061C5 and compares it with $306000. If there was SRAM found, this will cause a mismatch and result in the game entering an infinite loop while booting, resulting in the game unable to boot and stuck on a black screen. This anti-piracy method was also used for Hat Trick Hero 2, another game published by Taito.
