Summary	09494: MAME -romident needs update
Description	Missile Command has an aftermarket revision Super Missile Attack (made by General Computer Corporation). Part of the conversion is to move the Missile Command revision 2 ROMs to the Super Missile Attack board. The only ROM image difference between Missile Command revision 2 and revision 3 is the ROM located at KL1: revision 2: 035822-02.kl1 revision 3: 035822-03e.kl1 General Computer Corporation addresses the -03e version in their documentation (I have attached it here) specifically saying the -03e version is also supported. I have tested the -03e version on a real board and it works fine. See the attached report (it appears I can't upload a second file to this bug report, so only the documentation is attached), which is a MAME -romident on these two ROMs. 035822-02,kl1 is properly identified as being in Missile Command rev 2 and Super Missile Attack (rev 1). However, 035822-03e.kl1 is only identified as being part of Missile Command rev 3 and is not identified as being valid in Super Missile Attack.
Steps To Reproduce	Put these two ROM images (from Missile Command rev 2 & rev 3 ROMsets): revision 2: 035822-02.kl1 revision 3: 035822-03e.kl1 into a folder within your main MAME directory (I'll call this folder MC-SMA for this example). Go into DOS command mode and be in the main MAME directory. Enter this command: MAME -romident MC-SMA >MCSMA.txt Open newly created file, MCSMA.txt (will be in your MAME directory). Review results.
Additional Information	All that's needed is for MAME -ROMIDENT is to recognize/report that the -03e ROM is also part of Super Missile Attack (rev 1). This might necessitate creating a second Super Missile Attack ROMset. However, there is a "not encrypted" version of Super Missile Attack (MAME ROMset name suprmatkd). Each of the original revision 2 ROMs are hacked to support a not encrypted version of Super Missile Attack. There may be a need to create/support a not encrypted -03e ROM for the Super Missile Attack (not encrypted).
