Description
The ROM
Graphic Editor Hokusai - Ver 1.2
has a "Corrupt Header" intentionally.
"Hokusai.fds is the "correct" dump. A file header on the disk is mangled (simple form of copy protection?) making it unreadable with many FDS tools. The "fixed" version has this header corrected"
-From the no intro forums
The corrected Header ROM works in NESHawk. Unsure what we want to do about this. Do we fix the invalid header ROM file in Real time via a hash detection? Or do we only want our users to load/use the Fixed ROM?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the loading behavior in NESHawk with Hokusai.fds and its fixed-header version, then review how ROM identity could be detected. Done requires a decided policy for the corrupt header ROM and an implementation or documented handling that consistently supports the chosen behavior.
