Getting radare2 to load z80 binaries properly

Question

I'm trying to disassemble some Sega Master System roms.

In order to do so, I've checked for the extra 512 bytes from old roms and once I was sure they weren't there, I proceeded to run radare2 on one of them, like so:

r2 -A somerom.sms

Radare2 correctly detects the file signature and loads it as z80 code, however when I go into visual mode, it shows the instructions as byte wide offsets (adding a lot of garbage instructions at each invalid address) but the z80 pc has 2 bytes wide steps/instructions.

My question would be: Is there a way to filter those extra addresses so the code can be displayed correctly?

I've tried using:

r2 -A -b 16 somerom.sms

but it doesn't change anything.

as i commented radare2 opens an sms file without problem
if you are not using the latest version try updating radare2 
or downgrading to an older version
