Converting Excitebike NROM to MMC3

This rom just needs a simple mapper change within the header. This game only uses $C000-$FFFF, there is no $8000-$BFFF. Don't need to setup anything.

UPDATE 12/2/13
Does not display correctly on PowerPak.

Need to increase PRG-ROM by 1, so that it can have $8000-$BFFF to contain the MMC3 setup registers, this has to be installed.

$41CE = 200080
$10 = A900 8D0080 8D0180 8D00A0 8D01A0 8D00C0 8D01C0 8D00E0 A205 8E0080 BD2980 8D0180 CA 10F4 ADCE05 60 00 02 04 05 06 07

DONE! Excitebike is now MMC3! :-D
