it was redumped, but yes, comparing the code it's bad
however, aside from having this extra 'rom 5' the code for the bootleg looks like it should be 100% identical to the original, just already decrypted, the only bits that differ look like bitrot, it's not actually very interesting.
since the game doesn't even seem to use this rom5 (unless it does later in the game) maybe that one was just leftover from whatever the original game was before conversion...
chances are the bad roms will just be replaced with ones decrypted from the original, fixing the bitrot.. as for rom 5, I guess it will remain listed as it was on the PCB...
