the newer Slap Fight set (the working one) has a 'For Use in Japan' warning.
Alcon, which is also based on the newer PCB type, does not have a regional warning (although is assumed to be for the US based on the Taito America display)
both show Taito copyrights, neither show Toaplan which would give a set parentage as the original manufacturer.
Therefore by standard MAME ordering Alcon is the 'newest English release' and is correctly set as the parent.
I'm curious to see if the other Slap Fight (older hardware) is another Japan set or the 'World' release, as strangely there doesn't seem to be an official non-Japan version with the Slap Fight in MAME despite it being a hugely popular game over here in the UK (Maybe they were all bootlegs) If it is a 'world' set, it would take priority over the US release, even if it's older. MAME claims it's another Japan set tho, so it probably is just an older Japan set.
I do find it funny how people go crazy because Puckman is the parent in MAME despite being a Japan release (it's the parent because it's the only official version with the proper Namco copyright) yet here we are with people wanting a Japan release as the parent for a different game.
I also wonder why we're running everything in that driver at 60hz when it appears for every single PCB in there it's been measured at 57, has nobody noticed Slap Fight etc. are running too fast?
