Summary 03427: porter: Missing GFX banking.
Description Port Man (bootleg on Moon Cresta hardware) needs like Dock Man/Port Man (thepit.c) a
graphics_bank_w. The addrees is 0xa002. Create a logfile:


'maincpu' (00003133): unmapped program memory byte write to 0000A002 = 01
.
.
.
'maincpu' (000030F3): unmapped program memory byte write to 0000A002 = 00

If you start Port Man it wrotes to 0000A002 = 01 and the attract mode shows the
wrong start screen with the 'PORT MAN' text. Right after it wrotes to 0000A002 = 00
and the screen with the ship appears. This screen is *correct* . Then it wrotes
to 0000A002 = 01 again and the 3rd screen dsiplayed the gfx wrong again (see picture).

I fixed the missing GFX banking in porter. The game uses the same
graphics_bank_w as Dock Man. I also disable the star field, because
there is no star field in Dock Man.
Use attached DIFF file for testing!
