Am I correct to assume this is not specific to the 6 ROM version? (I gather I can answer my own question due to the fact that my boardset has the 12 2516's on the board).

the number of roms is only down to what was available at the time,

you can mix and match the roms if you know what your doing.

for example 117 has the score bug, 217 fixes it.

i think i remember 122 and 222 having different tests for the spinner, one had a spining clockface and the other counted in hex.

there is another that fixes the player2 thing, 116 must be upgraded to 316.

so if you want to keep it simple just reprogram one chip.

take the 2716 files 115 and 316,

in dos type "copy /b 115.bin + 316.bin fixed.bin"

then program the fixed.bin image to a 2732 and stuff it into the place of eprom 1.

to see how they map here is a bit of the MAME driver.
