  • $0114: boot logo flag and tile number
  • $0116: pointer to Japanese software DIPs settings layout
  • $011A: pointer to US settings software DIPs settings layout
  • $011E: pointer to Euro settings software DIPs settings layout
  • $0122: pointer to code start
  • $0128: pointer to player start (unknown meaning)
  • $012E: pointer to demo end (unknown meaning)
  • $0134: pointer to coin sound (unknown meaning)
  • $0182: pointer to security code

Minimal header (from Smkdan's sources)

No need for a complete 68k vector table.
