Unused Game Settings Menu#

An unused, possibly early options menu remains in the game. Unfortunately, none of the options actually work, as they rely on a sub-function that no longer exists. Pressing L or R would have changed values in this menu. Apply the below GameShark code to replace the Options menu from the main menu with this one.
