Copyright removal hack #1

Copyright removal hack #2
The most common bootleg variant of Sonic the Hedgehog, which removes the Sega screen, supresses the first instance of "Sonic Team Presents" and chops off the Sega logo (and copyright details) from the title screen (and unlike the above, the rest of the ribbon is left in-tact). The net result is a few seconds of black screen before the game begins. Nothing else appears to have been changed.
There are at least two known variants of this hack with a small handful of byte differences in the ROM header. This has no effect on gameplay, so cannot be distinguished without viewing the contents of the ROM.
