I agree, in MOST cases. However in this case it appears the code has probably been patched to run at $4000. My attempts thus far to remove any loader and relocate the code back to $C000 and get it to run from there have met with failure, unless I use a loader which copies the binary from ROM at $C000 back to $4000 and runs it from there. This works, BUT it is not how the game was originally intended to run and in any case it would be nice to have a virgin copy.
