Wow... never noticed that before.

Looks like it is because in the driver, decocass is listed as the parent of the parent games, but the actual parent is listed for all the clone games:


/* 27 */ GAME( 1982, cburnrub, decocass, cburnrub, decocass, decocass, ROT270, "Data East Corporation", "Burnin' Rubber (Cassette, set 1)", 0 )
/* 27 */ GAME( 1982, cburnrub2,cburnrub, cburnrub, decocass, decocass, ROT270, "Data East Corporation", "Burnin' Rubber (Cassette, set 2)", 0 )
/* 27 */ GAME( 1982, cbnj,     cburnrub, cbnj,     decocass, decocass, ROT270, "Data East Corporation", "Bump 'n' Jump (Cassette)", 0 )

Only way to fix it will be to make a separate artwork file for each cassette parent. That's doable.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
