NintendoPlayer found and finally released a prototype! They also dug up the fascinating story being the game's development and lack of release. Definitely worth a look.

Yeesh. I know it's an unfinished prototype, but something tells me that's not what's causing most of those glitches. It looks more like a bad dump to me (and it may very well be, considering what he had to go through to dump the cart). It's also possible that the flash ROM has gone bad, given that it wasn't a high quality product to begin with.

Or the mapper in the original cartridge had different timings and the game relied too strictly on those. I seriously doubt that text glitch on the title screen is caused by a bad dump - I mean, how do you explain this? The characters that are glitched look different in other places of the screen, so unless they repeated the characters in VRAM I really doubt that's the result of a bad dump - that'd result in different characters being shown instead.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
