Why not Having a config option turning the "error and not running the rom"
into "warning and run the rom anyways". Would that be risky ?
CONFIG_RUN_SLOPPY_EXPANSION_ROMS

As this will bite more people, and I'm wondering if my own personal lack
of working VGA would be related to that same kind of thing...
