Does exactly what it sets to doOverdrive2020-06-19Version 1.0

Earthworm Jim was one of the very few games developed with the YM3438 in mind, and as such has issues with sound effects/music when played on a pre-VA7 model 1 or the VA2.3 model 2. This hack corrects these issues so the game will sound as it should on any Genesis/Mega Drive. I tested it with an Everdrive X3 on my VA6 Genesis and it works without a hitch, no complaints here!
