Summary 03228: revx: Custom chip fails in POST
Description Letting the POST run through it's tests ends with "CUSTOM CHIP U76 BAD", which according to the PCB info in the source is the Williams-marked ASIC. No ill-effects whatsoever are experienced (or at least noticed) due to this failure.
Steps To Reproduce Start the game, let POST run through, after the ROMs are tested (they all test good, as do the scratch RAMs tested before them), it will report that U76 is bad. Pressing any button allows the game to continue unhindered.

This has behaved the same since it was added and it's a commonly known issue. Not sure why it's not explicitly noted in the source file for the game, but it should be. This 'bug' isn't really a bug, since a dump of the contents of this missing piece (U76 Custom) is not available - of course the check would say it's bad.

Acknowledging with the hopes this gets properly documented in the source.
