That's just the plain ASCII dump, it's not gzipped.

Looks ok. Perhaps the ROM is larger, I'm a little suprised that it ends with a
NUL field and then some bits in the last 16 bytes. 'Normally', there would be
trailing 'FF's or '00'. But I agree, there is probably already enough contained
in it. Hopefully, the SGC/STI diagnostic strings are near the proper routines,
which would give an indication on where to hunt first.
