Summary 04651: geimulti: geimulti - 13 game roms are loaded, only nine are listed in-game and playable

The in-game game list then contains 13 entries and scrolls out of the proper area. Only the first nine are selectable.

 It's 13 game roms + one graphics rom, not 14 game roms.

 I'd hazard a guess it's not meant to have that many games installed, even if the code 'supports' it to a degree..

should probably be split into 2 sets, or done softlist style with each rom socket being a 'slot' and each game in the softlist...

 According to the source, all the roms came from one game board. I moved the four rom files that don't work properly to load first, now they "play" but still don't show up in the ROM test and the game still reports 9 games installed. The error log shows unmapped writes to ROM when it's trying to load those four games but not the others.

Changing the 4 romload entries that act up to load ROMs that work has all 13 games show up, selectable, and working properly.

 Turns out the game checks the 'signature' only for those 4 ROMs. Hooking this up enables all 13 games.
