0xrsydn 4e4dde742d fix(memory): return the Game Pak address pattern beyond the ROM chip
CPU and DMA reads past the supplied image returned Unmapped and stopped the
machine; a second game's boot code reads 0x09fe20f8 past a 16 MiB image. The
Game Pak shares data lines with the low address lines, so where no chip drives
the bus a read returns the halfword address, (A >> 1) & 0xffff, per lane
(GBATEK; mGBA uses the same pattern).

The chip is the image size rounded up to a power of two. Bytes between a
trimmed image's end and that boundary are unknown and stay diagnostic, as do
host reads and instruction fetches. Two truncation fixtures move into that gap.
