+/***************************************************************************
+
+ Vega by Olypmia?
+
+ I don't know much about this, and I'm unsure of the dump quality.  There
+ were several dumps, and all but one had ROM10 with identical halves, however
+ the dump which was in ASCII format appears to have unique data in the 2nd
+ half of ROM10 instead, so I'm using that.
+
+ Surface of chips (CPU etc.) is scratched off.
