No.20253 Tafoid Administrator May 29, 2022, 08:48	Did a little research on this.. Both cartridges in the softlist (pitfall2 and piftall2a) didn't work until 0.209 - specifically traced to a change that defaulted the offset to 0 for any softlist entry fixed the 'piftall2a' cartridge ONLY. So, in essence, this isn't a regression and I am doubting the fitness of the parent set (pitfall2) as it doesn't work even after this offset changing. https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/668151505998a83afcc91da3446e2b42d8eef339
