Score Rollover.
The game internally uses a 16-bit Integer to retain the score and appends a pair of 0 visually. Thus an internal game score of 12345 is displayed as 1234500. In 16-bit Integer mathematics, there is a maximum Integer value of 65535. Addin 1 to 65535 in 16-bit Integer mathematics results in a zero. Thus, visually, there is a score rollover every 6553600.

Service Mode:
Typical TCH Kick Goal hardware.
No service mode found due to missing EEPROM? - Barthax, Oct 2024

Default Settings:
Note: it is impossible to change the difficulty and retain the setting due to unemulated EEPROM issues. (Confirmed to 0.265.) The settings menu defaults to Easy difficulty is therefore likely to be the only playable difficulty option. However, without referencing actual hardware play examples of other difficulties, Easy is only an assumption.

arescue, arescueu

Note: two ROM sets represented here with changeover at 0.200.

MAME History:
- 0.155: ShouTime and The Dumping Union added clone Air Rescue (Japan). Added PCB info [David Haywood]. Changed parent description to 'Air Rescue (US)'.
- 0.163: Properly emulated the double PCB stack System 32 games with shared RAM bridge board (Air Rescue and F1 Exhaust Note). Previously these relied on a hack to make the code believe the 2nd stack was present but this caused issues, now they're correctly emulated as dual screen games without any hack. Allow individual x/y flipping on tilemaps, 2nd screen on Air Rescue needs this [David Haywood]. Added V60 (16107950 Hz) CPU3, Z80 (8053975 Hz) CPU4, 2x YM3438 (8053975 Hz) and RF5C68 (12500000 Hz) sound. Added mainpcb:screen (416x224, 60Hz) and slavepcb:screen (416x224, 60Hz).
- 0.200: Porchy, Muddymusic and The Dumping Union added Air Rescue (World). Renamed (arescue) to (arescueu).
- 0.220: Make the 4 DIPs selectable singularly and added DIP locations [Osso]. Added 4x 'Unknown' dipswitches.

Reduced the number of separate machine drivers. Fixed incorrect spriteram sizes. Populated full memory maps for the main CPU and the rev 1 sound board. More to come. Changed the 6532 RIOT device into a proper device. Rewrote the logic to be simpler and leverage the new attotime functions. Changed the I/O port setters to specify a mask, and changed the I/O port callbacks to pass in the previous value. Converted audio\gottlieb.c to use the new RIOT implementation instead of rolling their own. Changed VSync to 61.419025 Hz. Added dipswitches 'Sound Test' and 6x 'Unknown'.
- 0.143u8: Various Gottlieb driver fixes [Tafoid]: Verified through playtesting, manuals and in-game service modes all DIPs in the driver. Consolidated and added DIP locations based on all available information.

ROM set change: no
0.106-0.265: armwarr1 - "Armored Warriors (Euro 941011)"

MAME History:
- 0.110u2: David Haywood added support for using CHDs to decrypt CPS2 games. This code is disabled for the moment, but will be enabled in the future. Only a handful of games have complete tables so far. These tables are huge (~4GB) and uncompressable until the encryption algorithm is understood.- 0.110u3: David Haywood added raw decryption table to choko. Enabled the use of the large CHD-based tables by default.
- 0.110u4: CPS2 updates [David Haywood]: Added table for Jyangokushi (from Guru). Note that GFX/Sound roms aren't dumped on this one. Removed old 'handcrafted' XORs for games which we have CHDs for and replaced them with XORs generated from MAME using the CHD. This means anyone with the CHD can easily generate the XORs (using the code I've left in there) if they need to be able to run the games with a shorter startup time. Disabled the loading of the XORs by default for all sets with a CHD. Now only the CHD is loaded, unless the #define is changed at the top in which case only the XORs generated from the CHD are loaded.
- 0.111u3: Added machine\cps2crpt.c. Andreas Naive and Nicola Salmoria replaced CPS2 CHDs with preliminary decryption function.
- 0.113u2: Changed VSync to 59.633333 Hz.
- 0.127u1: Derived CPS2 video timing based on measurements. These are educated guesses. The logic behind the derivations is shown in the source. Fixes the disappearing volume bar in the test menu for msh, mshvsf, xmvsf, xmcota and nwarr for sound and voice [Aaron Giles]. Changed VSync to 59.629403 Hz.
- 0.153: Cleanup QSound. No practical changes here except that i removed support for LOG_WAVE raw sound filewriting. Updated soundstream before writing (tsk). Reg 3 is key on. Small fix to sample start and loop. Guru measured qsound music timing. Modified CPS1 video params. Added DSP pin info from Guru [hap]. Eliminate pointless planar-to-chunky conversion of gfx ROMs, just decode them as-is [Alex Jackson]. Changed VSync to 59.637405 Hz.
- 0.259: Support for CPS2 debug dipswitches: Initial working version. Fixed incorrect mapping in memory by using a custom read handler, cleaned up unnecessary port conditions and vetter comments. Moved read handler directly into the map segment and renamed hardware type device tag. Correct accidentally moved line break. Switched from native array usage to optional_ioport_array [Damian Rogers]. Changed DSW setting order in UI from on-off to off-on [hap].

Rules, Points: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=7676

The rules were written to reflect MAME 0.106. MAME 0.106 had an "Asteroids Deluxe (rev 2)" in ROM set astdelux: so if this is what the OP has submitted then it is correct.
In MAME 0.107u4 this set was renamed (description only) to be "Asteroids Deluxe (rev 3)" after rev 1 was added to MAME:
- 0.107u4: Added clone Asteroids Deluxe (rev 1). Changed parent description to 'Asteroids Deluxe (rev 3)' and clone (rev 1) to 'Asteroids Deluxe (rev 2)'. Renamed (astdelu1) to (astdelu2).
So from MAME 0.107 the rules (as written from the perspective of 0.106) were referring to the Asteroid Deluxe rev 3 in 0.107 and beyond.
The MAME rules were then incorrectly changed, for a time, because the description was followed, not the ROM set:

- 0.123u4: RasnAckeR improved dipswitch definitions, added DIP locations and simplified input ports in Atari Tetris. Added dipswitches 'Freeze Step' and 2x 'Unused'.

Service Mode:
Typical Atari Tetris hardware.
There are both hardware DIP switches & internal settings. Hardware DIP switches will reflect local configuration after playback, not the recording. Other relevant rules are covered by internal settings. If not shown during playback, use Service Mode to access after playback completed. Service Mode is accessed via the DIP Switch which is toggled with the Service button (F2) and then requires waiting for it to become available (no reset required). Change screens using the Player 1 Button 1 (which the game refers to as Player 1 Start). Navigate with Player 1 Left/Right/Down (not Up). Toggle settings with Player 1 Left/Right.

avengers, avengersc

Note: two ROM sets represented here with the changeover at 0.246.

MAME History:
- 0.246: anonymous added Avengers (US, revision C) and clone Avengers (US). Correct rom labels for Avengers sets [Brian Troha]. Added info on the Avengers protection chip. Note: The protection chip underneath the sound module. Needs dumping. The protection is extensive: Palette data, calculates player movement and even a hand in the sound. The angle/movement stuff isn't 100% accurate either [simzy39]. Added NO_DUMP placeholder for MCU [hap]. Changed (US set 1) to clone 'Avengers (US, unknown revision)' and clones (US set 2) to 'Avengers (US, revision A)' and (Japan) to 'Hissatsu Buraiken (Japan, revision A)'. Renamed (avengers) to (avengersc) and (avengers2) to (avengersa).

Service Mode:
Typical Capcom "Lethal Wings"-style hardware.
Service Mode reflects the local configuration after playback ends, not the recording. Service Mode is accessed by enabling the Service Mode DIP switch which can be toggled by the Service button (F2). A reset must be used to enter Service Mode and therefore cannot be recorded in an INP. Service Mode presents read-only visualisation of the DIP switches and input testing only.

Default Settings:

- 0.153: Cleanup QSound. No practical changes here except that i removed support for LOG_WAVE raw sound filewriting. Updated soundstream before writing (tsk). Reg 3 is key on. Small fix to sample start and loop. Guru measured qsound music timing. Modified CPS1 video params. Added DSP pin info from Guru [hap]. Eliminate pointless planar-to-chunky conversion of gfx ROMs, just decode them as-is [Alex Jackson]. Changed VSync to 59.637405 Hz.
- 0.259: Support for CPS2 debug DIP switches: Initial working version. Fixed incorrect mapping in memory by using a custom read handler, cleaned up unnecessary port conditions and vetter comments. Moved read handler directly into the map segment and renamed hardware type device tag. Correct accidentally moved line break. Switched from native array usage to optional_ioport_array [Damian Rogers]. Changed dsw setting order in UI from on-off to off-on [hap].
- 0.267: Changed description to 'Alien vs. Predator (Europe 940520)' and clone (Euro 940520 Phoenix Edition) (bootleg) to 'Alien vs. Predator (Europe 940520 Phoenix Edition) (bootleg)'.
