Path forward and additional testing

Thinking about the new discovery of what Segments 2.1, 2.2 and 4 are, I plan to systematically test how I might go about truncating the data to save space. Success metric for all of these tests is 'the cartridge plays all the way through without errors.'

Test 0: Baseline Flash an original copy of BSLSBS.bin.

Test 1: Modify Region 24-00 Keep the Segment 1 pointer Truncate Region 24 to its header (modified length) and 1 packet (10 bytes) of 00.

Test 2: Modify Region 24-FF Keep the Segment 1 pointer Truncate Region 24 to its header (modified length) and 1 packed (10 bytes) of FF.

Test 3: Dropout Region 24-fallback Change the Segment 1 pointer to Region 23 start Erase Region 24 with FF.

Test 4: Dropout Region 24-retrograde Change the Segment 1 pointer to Region 12 start Erase Region 24 with FF.
