Notes:
I initially ripped this game back in October
2020 for pj2612, but it never made it to the
site (because the site was dead).

I realized why I put off ripping this game
when I did it now:

* The game has a sound test, but it kicks you
out of the options menu after a while and
sends you into the demo (I'm not
fucking joking, that *does* happen). Pressing
a button on the controller to prevent this
plays a sound effect. Attempting to find the
timer code with a disassembler did nothing.

* While I *can* convert the GEMS files to a
playable rom with gems2rom, BlastEm throws
up an error that reads "Encountered multi-byte
Z80 instruction at 85C3. Z80 interpreter
doesn't support those yet." (What the
fuck?!?!?)

I was only able to log the songs without
issues thanks to a music player rom
provided by SeregaZ on chatbox.

Size reduction:
1. optvgm: 34.2 MB -> 10.1 MB (29.5 %)
2. vgm_cmp: 10.1 MB -> 2.31 MB (22.9 %)
Total: 34.2 MB -> 2.31 MB (6.77 %)
