roadf: MAME ROM Information.
History:
Road Fighter (c) 1984 Konami.
An exhilarating, high-speed scrolling racing game.
An unique characteristic of Road Fighter is the fact that bumping into an enemy car does not count as a miss. The counter-steering technique required to 'straighten' your car after bumping into an enemy provided a new level of racing game fun to fans.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Do Not miss the bonus car : As you proceed in the game, the difficulty level increases. You will make more misses and will lose fuel quickly. If you spot a bonus car, make sure to run into it, even if it requires you to slow down in the process.
* Get used to counter-steering : Driving without bumping into the enemy is extremely difficult. If you do bump into them, learn to stay calm and counter-steer!
* Secret bonuses : They are all hard to obtain, but they are worth the try! Keep on driving for a certain amount of time without bumping into the enemy -- Konamiman, a train, or an airplane will appear and give you bonus points.
* Run into bonus cars without missing any -- more bonus points.
* Make it to the goal without bumping into any enemy -- 10,000 bonus points.

Bugs:
- roadf, roadf2: Road Fighter has no VLM5030 speech. MASH (ID 02879)
WIP:
- 0.140u2: Atari Ace take some driver_device classes of hyperspt/sbasketb/trackfld/yiear (common code in audio/trackfld and audio/hyprolyb.c) that cover multiple drivers and split them so that each driver gets their own driver_device class. In most cases, these drivers got entangled because of audio/mcu code that was shared between multiple drivers. Added 'Track And Field Audio' sound.

- 0.131u1: MooglyGuy merged memory maps in the HyperSports driver.
