Summary	09184: sbp: Unemulated protection flag is outdated
Description	As of version 0.277, the game now boots up without issue and can be started successfully after inserting a coin.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Load the game and choose the default BIOS (Europe MVS (Ver. 2)), or any BIOS of choice. 2. After it first boots, you can see that the game has booted up successfully and is now in attract mode. 3. Start the game by inserting a coin. 4. Choose your preferred character. 5. Choose "Groovin" difficulty level. 6. You can now play the game.
Additional Information	The "Noted in Source" flag has been checked because the driver's source code has included the issues surrounding the game's protection that may have likely been fixed as of this bug report.

No.23361 JimCarlTay Tester 4 days ago	Well, the notes can be updated to reflect that. Could you remind me when a proper fix is implemented?
