Re: Road Runner test mode?

OK let's go deeper into this than I wanted to (mainly because I don't
understand C programming). MAME loads ROM like this:

ROM_START( desertgu )
    ROM_REGION( 0x10000, "maincpu", 0 )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1h", 0x0000, 0x0800, CRC(c0030d7c)
SHA1(4d0a3a59d4f8181c6e30966a6b1d19ba5b29c398) )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1g", 0x0800, 0x0800, CRC(1ddde10b)
SHA1(8fb8e85844a8ec6c0722883013ecdd4eeaeb08c1) )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1f", 0x1000, 0x0800, CRC(808e46f1)
SHA1(1cc4e9b0aa7e9546c133bd40d40ede6f2fbe93ba) )
    ROM_LOAD( "desertgu.e", 0x1800, 0x0800, CRC(ac64dc62)
SHA1(202433dfb174901bd3b91e843d9d697a8333ef9e) )
ROM_END

ROM_START( roadrunm )
    ROM_REGION( 0x10000, "maincpu", 0 )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1h", 0x0000, 0x0800, CRC(c0030d7c)
SHA1(4d0a3a59d4f8181c6e30966a6b1d19ba5b29c398) )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1g", 0x0800, 0x0800, CRC(1ddde10b)
SHA1(8fb8e85844a8ec6c0722883013ecdd4eeaeb08c1) )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1f", 0x1000, 0x0800, CRC(808e46f1)
SHA1(1cc4e9b0aa7e9546c133bd40d40ede6f2fbe93ba) )
    ROM_LOAD( "9316.1e", 0x1800, 0x0800, CRC(db5996a5)
SHA1(cbc784e3ff9c7ad4954f3af8bfd786d3d17d1e0c) )
ROM_END

Quite a while back, MAME consolidated ROM files. So they now end up
loading ROM thusly (thusly?):

    9316.1h from desertgu at address 0000-07FF
    9316.1g from desertgu at address 0800-0FFF
    9316.1f from desertgu at address 1000-17FF
    9316.1e from roadrunm at address 1800-1FFF

So all you should need is the other 3 files from desertgu I'll save
you the trouble and attach it here.

Good luck, sorry about pointing you the wrong way before.
