133133         a real PCB to find the difference.
134134         Currently it beeps every time a player eats a dot.  Seems right.
135135      2. If "Hard" mode is selected, numerous bugs appear which
136         could be either an emulation fault or a bad rom. Some
137         bugs are:
138         a. Graphic error halfway up the left side
139         b. Score adds or subtracts random amounts
140         c. Score not cleared when starting a new game
141         d. Game begins on the wrong level
136         seems to be an emulation fault. Every revision we have
137         shows the problem, whereas the real hardware works fine.
138    - You start with 9000 points (instead of 0).
139         - On the screen where you are awarded your Bonus, you will
140           instead get (or sometimes lose) a random amount.
141         - At the end, if you got the High Score, it could be changed
142      to something else.
143         All these bugs can be cured by a simple 1-byte patch:
144         ROM_FILL( 0x47e5, 1, 0xc3), but why is it necessary?

146    - Space Chaser (schasercv)
147         These cheats exist in this game:
148         1. Hold down 2P DOWN (the F key) while it says INSERT COIN. Then
149            insert a coin and play. You will have 2 extra ships.
150         2. In the Hard difficulty setting, you normally start at level 4.
151            Hold down the 1P START (the 1 key) while it says INSERT COIN.
152            Then insert a coin and play. You will start at level 5.

143154    - Space War (Sanritsu)
144155      * I seem to recall that the flashing ufo had its own sample
145156        sound, a sort of rattling noise. Unable to find evidence
