Ah, quite easy... I was just lazy emulating this feature, that is why this game did not work upto now.
The problem is:
TED turns on/off screen at the bottom line of a screen (I don't know the exact line, but it could be cheated in some ways by writing to the $FF1D).
I emulated the possibility of in-screen turning on/off, and Manic Miner (Minor??) confused all of the emulators including mine by switching the screen off then on again on the same screen. ($FF06,
4th bit.) This came from a mistake of the game coder. (Wrong AND used value used.)

That's all.
