Fixed B-Wings mapper (185).

Jungle Book is in my list of defective games.  I am assuming it is a mapper 
problem
(MMC3 IRQs).  Very unlikely it is a NES core problem.

MMC3 IRQ support is slightly incomplete, with most games running.  The only 
setback
is keeping the speed up on the PS2 port while implementing a proper MMC3 IRQ 
system.
 It will be worked on in the near future.

When you play one player, or two player mode, run game and hit select,
you enter the menu, where is Player Select. The menu is doubled. This is not
in FCEu Emulator. And when I hit hard reset, when this menu is on, emulator 
chrashes.
And there are too crashes of program, when hitting Soft Reset at the start of 
the 
game Double Dragon III and too crashes when hitting Hard Reset in Double Dragon 
II 
and Double Dragon I, there is glitching and freezing.

Excitebike (JU) [!].nes

G.I. Joe (U).nes
BEfore the game stars, there is some story and talking, and there should be a

and game goes next on FCEu.

Gauntlet (U) [!].nes
The first level is totally glitched, it looks like another level, totally 
bugged

walls, 
and it looks very different from when I run this game on FCEu.

Gauntlet II (U).nes
Too bugged, level is mirrored and it looks like different level. The level is 
generated bad, there is exit nearly, and there should be digitized voice, but

i have tried a few games in your list that i have found to be working, and i 
cannot
reproduce the same errors.

Willow (U).nes - runs ok, shortly tested, win32 and linux
Blaster Master (U).nes - runs ok, shortly tested, win32 and linux

and more explanation on a few:

Marble Madness (U).nes - required more accurate rendering, requires new 
renderer, not
high priority.
Kirby's Adventure.nes - requires fixed mmc3 irq, will be addressed soon
Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse (U) [!].nes - mapper not supported

these are just off the top of my head, will post later about all issues.

testing against fceu isnt very good.  use a more accurate nes emulator, such as
nintendoulator.

the sound issues will be fixed soon.  i did not write the sound emulator, i 
simply
borrowed it from matt conte.  i plan on writing my own or using blargg's apu.  
sound
will be fixed, this project is just an infant.

thanks for the issue reports.

Willow (U).nes produces glitched graphics but Willow (U) [b1].nes runs OK.
Blaster Master (U).nes cannot be loaded at all but Blaster Master (U) [b1].nes 
runs 
OK.

So what is difference between original (U) and all that [b1] [b2] [b3] [o1] 
[o2] and 
[o3]???? What that means???

those are overdumps and bad dumps.  also, the ines header COULD be dirty.  i 
will add
some checks for dirty headers.
