BETA QUEST LOG 0009

Unfortunately, beta quest 0009 will not start up correctly and will freeze before Hyrule Field even shows up (several unimplemented CPU opcodes and an opcode break are listed in debug).  Until a bypass procedure can be developed, this beta quest will not be accessible, neither ROM nor cartridge.  ROM Debug reports TLB exception on load.
The bypass feature is now available as of 4/15/01, however mapping will be somewhat more difficult, because of the procedure involved.  Using the Exit Modifier code, you can change the location Link starts in.  In this case, it could be several different places.
