Kram is working!

I have finished the manual decryption. By that I mean that I made tables that list all addresses of encrypted instructions, and what to replace them with. The total number of entries in the tables is 7926. This is not an optimal solution but since I doubt I will manage to understand the algorithm it's the only thing I can do.

An interested thing I found out when hooking up the tables in the driver is that for two-byte opcodes, only the first byte is encrypted, the second is unencrypted. This wasn't the case with the Konami-1 CPU, where both bytes are encrypted. Odd.

Well done! good to see that if you try, it will always be possible!
