Well, you don't have to ... just depends on how many intro-disable protection checks have been added in.

If none, it's a breeze. These things are usually just overriding the first instructions at the reset vector from "sei; clc; xce; ..." to "jsl introRoutine". Patch it back and enjoy less advertising. Just please don't distribute the resultant patches, or else the authors will start adding more and more checks.

It sure would be nice if translation authors would store a SRAM variable and only show you their advertising once.
I honestly would not mind their intro, IF I could see it on a repro cart. Since I can't, it is annoying.
