I've been looking into this ROM as the trusted dump and scene dumps on no-intro did not match and were marked bad as Mame considers them bad. I did my own testing, as I don't think one db should rely on another or why be separate?
Dumping 3 copies on OSCR, plus desoldering a chip and dumping it, I get the hashes I'm updating it to here. While I don't think Mame should consider it bad because No-intro does or vice-versa, I'm the dumper and glad to answer any questions to both projects.

New working software list items
-------------------------------
Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II (Europe, Japan, prototype) [trol]
- sega/segas32.cpp: used good GFX ROM dumps for brivalj (the gfx1 region ROMs were wrongly named (same MPR codes as Arabian Fight) and were otherwise slightly corrupt versions of the brival ROMs. The sprites had slight corruptions too, despite having the same MPR numbers as the parent (so just bad dumps of the parent ROMs)
docs: Expanded C++ guidelines following suggestions by P. Mackinlay.
ui/inifile.cpp: Got rid of the check for "arcade" systems - it broke
managing favourites for the slotted Neo Geo.
luaengine.cpp: Removed the "type" property from system driver metadata.
It's effectively deprecated.
bus/vme/vme_fcisio.cpp, commodore/mps1230.cpp: Fixed inappropriate use
of machine type flag constants.
megadriv.xml: Made notes about the two Galaxy Force 2 sets more explcit.
* megadriv.xml, pce.xml, pcecd.xml, x68k_flop.xml: Added cotroller
support usage notes for a few games.
* pcecd.xml: Noted the required CD-ROM system cards in usage notes,
fixed capitalisation and removed unnecessary markup in descriptions.
* megadriv.xml: Added compatibility tag for gforce2a (broken graphics on
PAL consoles).

the ROM loader for software items.
