Anything sent in (if believed to be different or not supported in MAME) is always welcomed. Thanks for what has been sent in because the sets might be useful in case there are others that have same pcbs and need to replace roms in case roms go sour/bad.

>(btw the PROMs for both games are global to the parent set)

You might be asked by a MAMEdev member later if the proms can also be dumped. In the past, some of the proms might have been overlooked when roms from various games were dumped earlier. Then what might happen is some emulation bug issue which left users guessing if the romset had bad dumps or an emulation issue in MAME not yet resolved.

On a couple past occasions, it was because a prom might have been overlooked when roms were dumped and once the missing prom was added, then there would be no more emulation/bug issues.

Granted what you already tested seems to be same and okay, but it helps just to be sure nothing gets overlooked when new sets of roms and proms are dumped.

Anyway, thanks for sending in what has already been sent.
