it's at least one big step forward to know that the dump is running on the real hardware.

your statement would also mean you have to "mark" every other rom-dump also as "NOT GOOD"...as long as you do not have a second dump from another board and another dumper! Even if the game is running in MAME or on real Hardware with the dump...
as it could also be possible, that an normal eprom get's a bad bit on an area which is for example normally empty and not used...
