Description

Hello. I am trying to load a ROM file from GB studio that I have verified to work, and I get a white screen. I tested an old Tetris rom and it worked fine.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how PyBoy loads ROMs and identify differences in GBStudio ROM headers compared to standard Game Boy ROMs. Look at the ROM loading code and check if there are specific checks that fail for GBStudio ROMs.
