I don't have ability to run a rom check in MAME 0.148 with this so
I have run a rom check using MAKARON NAOMI T12/7 instead.

MAKARON NAOMI T12/7 using MAME 0.148 MVSC2 ROM
NAOMI SERVICE MENU ROM BOARD TEST:
IC32 32M BAD 62B6 FD14
INBUILT GAME SERVICE MENU ROM BOARD TEST:
IC32 64M BAD 62B6 FD14

Now if I change the "mpr-23084.ic32" rom for one from MAME 0.131;
rom name="mpr-23084.ic32" size="4194304" crc="4ebbbdd9"/>

NAOMI SERVICE MENU ROM BOARD TEST:
IC32 32M GOOD 7C8D 0D62
INBUILT GAME SERVICE MENU ROM BOARD TEST:
IC32 64M GOOD 7C8D 0D62

Just wondering from the above results that maybe from the seven
MAME 0.133u3 redumps that that one rom should be changed back?

For fun I also tested the latest DEMUL 0.57 which is different again;

I am just running these tests now. So I have no idea of the history, etc..
I was under the assumption that the ideal result is to pass all rom test?
The current MAME 0.148 MVSC2 variant doesn't pass the last check
as shown above. Again, just my findings, maybe this has been brought
up before but incase not, this post is here.

Addition1:
For even more fun, I put the above DEmul MVSC2 revision romset into NullDC NAOMI 1.0.3 and 1.0.4, and ran both the NAOMI service rom board test and the game's inbuilt rom board test. Both tests were completed 100% successfully passed.

Addition2:
Hmm, a quick look at the hex tells me that the DEmul057 MVSC2 revision is based on the MAME 0.133u3 MVSC2 changed revision. Well that is interesting, so;
DEmul 0.57
NullDC NAOMI 1.0.3 and NAOMI 1.0.4
MAME 0.148
Can all get 100% pass results with same MVSC2 romset revision.
(I don't know if MAME 0.148 can get a 100% pass result as I can't test that on my end. But I will put it in this group because it is using the same ROM revision. Would it require a MAME dev or someone to confirm if MAME 0.148 can pass MVSC2 100% successfully).

Using an extracted MVSC2 romset packed in .zip format I can only get a 100% pass result with Makaron NAOMI T12/7 if I change that last rom to an older revision as mentioned at top of this post.

Make of it what you will...

Addition3:
I have now taken the DEmul057 MVSC2 revision romset and converted it into a bin/dat so I could 'force' Makaron NAOMI T12/7 to use it. Ran both the NAOMI service rom board test and the game's inbuilt rom board test. Both tests were completed 100% successfully passed.

Ok, so now supposedly I can get 100% successful pass results of MVSC2 rom board tests using the latest versions of DEmul, NullDC, and Makaron with the current Mame0.148 MVSC2 romset revision.

Cool, everything is back to normal again and the end of the world has been averted...

I guess current MVSC2 romset revision has 'No Problemo!'
