Cabinboy

CabinBoy 1.0.1b — Bugfix

• Fixed a crash that could stop the emulator entirely on certain ROMs (invalid cartridge memory access). All memory bank controllers (MBC1/2/3) now behave like real hardware — out-of-range reads return open-bus instead of throwing.
• Fixed MBC2 battery saves loading the wrong data on startup.

+Added more Loottable spawns and a "safe" spawn in safes :P
