I'm trying to make sense of this MCU malarky. It's a bit confusing.
Most System 2 games use a 6805-based MCU with an internal ROM (the Namco C65). Not all games have the SYS2C65C etc. external ROM.
Later games use an M37450 MCU (which we don't currently support). There appear to be two variants - the Namco C68 with internal ROM and a ROM-less off-the-shelf Mitsubishi part which requires an external ROM.
