Summary 02138: flamegun: Debugger/Cheat System upper case cpu tag of MAIN doesn't work
Description There seems to be a case sensitive issue with the cpu tags, it effects both cheat system and debugger writes. In the zn.c driver the 'main' cpu is actually 'MAIN' and there's seems to be no way to use memory write commands regardless if MAIN or main is used.
Steps To Reproduce In the debugger, it complains with either of these commands for flamegun:-

MAIN.pb@062772=63
or
main.pb@062772=63



In the cheat system use these xml files for flamegun, both fail to parse:-

<mamecheat version="1">

<cheat desc="Infinite Credits">
<script state="run">
<action>main.pb@062772=63</action>
</script>
</cheat>

</mamecheat>

OR

<mamecheat version="1">

<cheat desc="Infinite Credits">
<script state="run">
<action>MAIN.pb@062772=63</action>
</script>
</cheat>

</mamecheat>

 A quick fix is to change all references to "MAIN" to "main" in zn.c. However the same problem may exist with other cpu tags in other drivers and whether there is an issue with having any cpu tag in UPPERCASE.

 I confirm that an error is prompted for both main & MAIN

 FYI, there is no "debug build" only. This also fails on a release build now (prior to the fix).
