I am unable to reproduce this as reported, the game will go past the warning screen and run fine. However, the game will hang under the following conditions:

> Watching one cycle of attract mode (hangs at the end)
> Inserting a coin during attract mode
> Inserting a coin at the title screen and pressing start.

There is also no sound whatsoever.

the sub cpu Memory map has been messed up by the code churn

no. that slowdown is caused by partial updates / tight sync being required.
