[SNES] lobo bad header

[romcenter]

Hi

During some debug with romcenter, I checked the snes lobo rom (crc 890DC31C) with ucon tool and it seems the header is bad.

I found a 'fixed header' version (crc 9AC64A34) which is reported good. Don't know why no-intro still references the bad one ?

I imagine any dump of Lobo is going to be suspicious, since it originated from a bootleg cart. Who knows if either one is correct?

[KingMike]

Prototypes didn't usually have correct headers since they weren't needed for the game to run.
I believe no-intro would rather have original data than "fixed" data.

[romcenter]

Yes, seems correct. Thanks.
