NES Open Tournament Golf issue

I tried playing NES Open Tournament Golf today and noticed some glitches. After I pass through the intro screens, when I'm on the screen to take a shot there are artifacts all over the screen and swinging the club is impossible because it moves so quickly. I tried Mario Open Golf (Japan) and it worked just fine, but NES Open Tournament Golf definitely doesn't work for me. Can someone please give this a quick go and let me know if you're finding the same issues? I want to make sure it's not only me before opening an issue on github. BTW I'm connected to a CRT via analog IO and using original NES controllers via SNAC

might want to ensure your rom is not corrupted, check it's checksum and compare it to the nes20db xml file which should have checksums for most if not all nes roms out there.

if your version has an iNES1 or achaic header might just flat out replace it instead of converting it instead.

these are the checksums for the US version:

<prgrom size="262144" crc32="F6B9799C" sha1="C881749BDED199785699F51C3925F940332EFAC1" sum16="0363"/>
<rom size="262144" crc32="F6B9799C" sha1="C881749BDED199785699F51C3925F940332EFAC1"/>

The Nes core needs INes2 Headers. If your set doesnt have them use this

Thanks for all your help - much appreciated! I managed to track down a rom with the correct INES2 header and now everything is working as expected :)
