Research direction

Start by locating the BizHawk ROM verification or dump database entry for Sonic The Hedgehog (W) (REV00) [b1], then compare its recorded status with the supplied SHA1, MD5, and failing game checksum. Done means the named ROM is no longer incorrectly reported as a good dump, with the relevant verification behavior covered by the project's existing checks.
