Hack description

Magic John is a game which was localised as Totally Rad for the international release. It is known for relying on Famicom behaviour at power-on/reset (where the PPU is started ~1 frame before the CPU does, and is not affected by resets), which does not work on NES systems.

This patch fixes the reset handler to properly wait for the PPU before initialising the game. It has been tested to work with the English translation, so this is suitable for playing it on original NES systems.
