Actually I take back the jumpers thing -- I think 27c800 is a direct replacement for that chip (for example here's a straight swap
http://blog.system11.org/?p=1442), so 27c160 should be pin compatible except for the higher address line (that isn't used). If you doubled the image (wrote A B A B in four passes) then I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. Unless there is a fault between P1 and the rest of the system.
You could boot into the normal mvs crosshatch/test menu, then press D for memory viewer, then scroll down to like row 100. You should see "NEO-GEO" on the side. Something like this
That would at least confirm the first (boot) bank is in the right spot
