Marked many roms on the two asia? sets of raiden fighters as bad pending redump, as the rom layout on the asian? spi pcb is different and several roms were clearly recombined into single roms. These need to be redumped for verification that the contents are the same.
renamed rdftdi to rdftadi

This patch fixes both affected games, as far as I can tell. Thanks for
the heads-up.

To: submit@mamedev.org
Phil (or whoever else checks this),
Sorry for missing the Gorf case. I've hashed out the problem some
more on the message boards, and I now see that while Astrocade BASIC
calls the lightpen function on every scanline, Gorf calls it several
times per vblank on seemingly random scanlines. So, that explains why
the first fix didn't work. Looking at the code more closely, I see
why Astrocade BASIC was running out of timers. The
astrocade_trigger_lightpen function has a timer that doesn't expire
until the end of vblank. Since this can be called many times per
vblank, a bunch of timers could pile up. This happened on Gorf to
some extent, but not enough to reach the MAX_TIMERS of 256. But
Astrocade BASIC crashes every time. I changed the timer to only last
for that scanline, and this seems to work.
I tested this change in MAME and was able to play Gorf, Robby Roto,
Wizard of Wor, Extra Bases, Space Zap, Seawolf II, Professor Pac-Man,
and Demons & Dragons. In MESS, Astrocade BASIC is now usable, as well
as some of the BASIC-carts like Candyman and Super Slope. (Road Toad
doesn't run out of timers anymore, but is still unplayable for some
reason.) And I've tested lots of other carts with no problems.
Thanks,
Paul aka ranger_lennier
