Are the short names in this comment still correct, or have the short names been shuffled while this comment hasn’t been updated? It’s now immediately above the ROM definitions for warofbug whiles warofbug and warofbugg are earlier in the file. The ROM definitions here aren’t in the order of the system definitions, either.

Not really, the daughterboard that plugs into Z80 socket is different than the one described on the comment, just the Z80, ROMs and a RAM on this one.

I put this new set right after spactrai, on both ROM definition and the GAME macro... Didn't ordered the other unsorted entries because I really don't know if that comment applies only to 'warofbugu' or also to the other clones after if.

So can we work out when the comment got out-of-sync with the code and move it so it’s immediately above the sets it applies to, and refers to the correct short names? This kind of rot is really frustrating.

I'd say it's OK now... At least this section, this driver is huge

Join pins 21 of IC's 1H and 1K together and connect both to +5 volts (although
I've seen one set of docs saying to connect to pin 1 of ic 2N (7408) instead). */

ROM_START( warofbug ) // Shows 20c as the base of currency. I know of no US games that used dimes - unless it's another country?

Probably an Australian set – 20c was the standard price for one game in the ’80s.
