Another TxROM plugin fix (TQROM)
by BootGod on 2005-12-31 (#7876)
I ran into another bug in the TxROM plugin that caused TQROM games to be overdumped. The cause is that this board has both CHR ROM and RAM mapped in right after it, so when comparing banks, it ends up reading into VRAM and of course it thinks it's a unique.

I don't think it is possible to work this into the generic TxROM plugin, so I have made a special case plugin for TQROM.

Other than perhaps by attempting a few test writes to VRAM?

That would probably work, although you would have to try writing to every bank. Also the BIOS function for checking for VRAM would not work since it always checks the same location, so you would have to supply your own. I think you'd still have enough space left from 1K to do it though.

When I get a chance, I'll try it out as it would be nice to keep it inside the original plugin.
