Not all 2K or 4K ROM images work with the Supercharger because they access
the bank-switching hardware at $FFF8, either because there's data there in
the cart or the cart hits it doing a checksum at powerup time.

If a 2K ROM just switched banks it'd work OK, but the games that crash seem
to enable RAM writing.  When that happens, any access to $F0xx causes a
spurious write into the cart space.
