Emulator crashes for Qoob Pro users

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the emulator on a Qoob Pro modified Gamecube

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The emulator crashed because the fonts cannot be read from the mask ROM IPL
and libfreetype doesn't know what to do if they can't successfully be read.

What version of the product are you using?
This affects all versions and anything using libfreetype.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have a fix to re-enable the original mask ROM and thus libfreetype
doesn't crash. Please see the attached file. This fix has no effect on
other modchips or Gamecubes without modchips so it's safe to always perform it.

I have a question: why would libfreetype need to read the IPL font from the 
mask ROM
when we use an embedded font (font.ttf) in snes9xgx ? 

thanks for the fix anyway,I'm now using it in the other projects ;-)

I am not sure, but this seems to be the case and it fixes it with only a few 
lines of
code :)
